See, see, see!
My fascination with languages stems from the skills of my school teachers. They conveyed a real sense of fun. A tongue-twister they taught me in French was: Si six scies scient six cyprès, six cent six scies scient six cent six cyprès, if six saws saw six cypress-trees, six hundred saws saw six hundred cypress-trees. But it sounds like: 'See see see see see see-pre, see sohn see see see sohn see-pre'.

How about this one, given to me by a French friend, who said even French people find it almost impossible (but I impressed him by saying it!): "Je suis un original qui ne se désoriginalisera jamais". I'm a one-off and I will always be / I'm an individual and always will be.
I love this tongue twister. It took me ages to get it right but now I can say it.
