Tongue Twisters
<div class="IPBDescription">Working on your speech, eh?</div> I want to work on my speech, because i have a bad slur, bad speech, and I really want to get out of these bad habits [i don't have physical problems, i just find i'm too lazy to actually say words properly <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->]. Also, aiming to be a [broke] actor, it really wouldn't help to need subtitles for every damn thing I do!
So I found a site that some of you might enjoy, if just to try out saying some of them.

"sh*tted sleets" ._.
The bear/boar one looks more difficult, honestly. More complex phraseology to think about and remember.

And of course, the REALLY hard one....

Some of the ones you thought were really easy in fact become terribly difficult.

That one is quite fun, although I wouldn't say it is hard. It's more difficult to memorise than to say.
It improves your enunciation.

It's not at all difficult, but you can try to beat your friends at how fast you can say it.
