Dear language learners,
Yes, time is ticking and the deadline for our competition is approaching. And I’m here to help and support you. You have to choose one of the 3 topics to submit your video, but today we will look at some of the tongue twisters in Latvian.
As you know tongue twisters and complicated sentences in the language, so let me tell you - don’t be afraid of misspelling something or not getting it right the first time. They are designed to make people twist their tongues by saying them. I will try to help you by pronouncing them in the audio files, making it easier for you to learn. So let's start with 5 examples:
Loki, spoki, veci koki, ko tu savu mēli moki?
Zviegtin zviedza zviedru zirgi Zvirgzdupītes ziemeļos
Dižā mūža meža eži saož meža rožu ražu
Vesels simts sīku siseņu salstot sausos salmos sisina
Suņburkšķis neburkšķ
Now it’s your turn!
