Oh I love a good French tongue twister.
They’re perfect to practice your French pronunciation and have a good laugh at the same time.
Plus, I don’t know. There’s a certain regression to them.. Don’t you think?

Let’s start with easy ones then. Play the video 
6 easy French tongue twisters for beginners
French tongue twisters usually play on two similar sounds. But, I tried to find a few easy ones to start our challenge.
Here they are.
- Son chat chante sa chanson – His/her cat sings her/his song.
- Cinq chiens chassent six chats – Five dogs run after six cats.
- Si mon tonton tond ton tonton, ton tonton sera tondu – If my uncle chaves your uncle, your uncle will be shaved.
- Je suis ce que je suis, et si je suis ce que je suis, qu’est-ce que je suis? – I am what I am, and if I am what I am, what am I?
- Ce ver vert s̩v̬re, sait verser ses verres verts. РThis strict green worm knows how to pour his green glasses.
- Si six scies scient six cypr̬s, six cent scies scient six cent cypr̬s. РIf six saw saw six cypress, six hundred saw saw six hundred cypress.
Now it’s your time to say them. Help your pronunciation with the video, in which I say them and decompose them for you.
And once you got those ones done. It’s time to try harder ones.

I wanted to use the tongue-twisters with my Year 7 class but they’re full of spelling mistakes! Obviously, no-one bothered proofreading them.
Should I consider this as your proof-reading application?
