Ok, time to challenge your pronunciation! 

Try saying this tongue twister out loud: 

Du skal ikke kalle Kalle Kalle, selv om moren til Kalle kaller Kalle for Kalle, skal ikke du kalle Kalle for Kalle, for Kalle heter Karl.

Of course this sentence will not be a very good tongue twister when translated, but I have made my best effort: 

You should not call Kalle by (the name) Kalle, even if Kalle’s mother calls Kalle by Kalle, You should not call Kalle by Kalle, for Kalle’s name is Karl. 

Did you find this difficult or easy? What is common younger twister in your language? 

Best,
