Not the most amazing book in the world, but I used to love it!! "If one doctor doctors another, does the doctor who doctors the doctor doctor the doctor the way the doctor he is doctoring doctors? Or does he doctor the doctor the way the doctor who doctors doctors?" Come on... ya gotta love it! I saw Esau kissing Kate. I saw Esau, he saw me. And she saw I saw Esau. :-) Zeige 3 von 3 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

In his introduction Mr. Schwartz makes a claim for a certain tongue twister as being one of the hardest in the English language. I've tried to say it five times as quickly as I could. My tongue always gets hopelessly tangled on the second try.
Besides tongue twisters in English, we're treated to twisters in the following tongues: French (3), German (1), Greek (1), Hebrew (1), Hungarian (1), Italian (2), Japanese (1), Polish (1), Spanish (5). Each of those twisters is given in its original language, a pronunciation guide, and in English.
I enjoyed the information about earlier versions of some tongue twisters.
There's advice on how to make up one's own tongue twisters and how to play a tongue twister game.
This book is a pleasant way to pass the time. ( )
