Tongue twisters are fun and they teach you vocabulario, grammar and naturalmente pronunciation.

This is my favorite Italian tongue twister.

Dietro quel palazzo c'è un povero cane pazzo; date
un pezzo di pane a quel povero pazzo cane.

It really just flows once you get it down.

Behind that building there is a poor crazy dog; give
a piece of bread to that poor crazy dog.

dee-EH-troh quel pah-LATZ-zoh che un POH-veh-roh KAH-neh PATZ-zoh; DAH-teh un PETZ-zoh dee PAH-neh ah quel povero pazzo cane.

Look at all the vocabulary you learn: dietro=behind, quel=that, palazzo=building, palace, c'è(cheh)=there is, un=a,
povero=poor, cane=dog, pazzo=crazy, date(DAH-teh)=give(command form), un pezzo di pane=a piece of bread,

Say it over and over again until you know it by heart and can say it in front of your friends, family, neighbors
and anybody else you come across or whoever will listen to you. Also write it over and over until you can write it by memory.

We should do an Italian tongue twister a week.

I like this one the best!

Il cuoco cuoce in cucina e dice che la cuoca giace e tace perchè sua cugina non dica che le piace cuocere in cucina col cuoco.

serve che ti serva di una serva che non serve?


If the attendant doesn't serve as an attendant what use is that she serves as attendant that doesn't serve?

The cook cooks in the kitchen and says that the cook lies down and is silent because his cousin does not say that she likes to cook in the kitchen with the cook.

Sotto la panca la capra campa, sopra la panca la capra crepa.
This is barely impossible to say correctly and fast. It means: Under the bench the goat lives, over the bench the goat dies :=)
