Miss V meets the Zungenbrecher (video)

Laugh at rather than with, as Miss V samples a splash of German tongue twisters (Zungenbrecher).


The Zungenbrecher are as follows:

Fischers Fritze fischt frische Fische;
Frische Fische fischt Fischers Fritze.

Der Dachdecker deckt dein Dach, drum dank dem Dachdecker, der dein Dach deckt.

Am Zehnten Zehnten um zehn Uhr zehn zogen zehn zahme Ziegen zehn Zentner Zucker zum Zoo.

Good luck!

  2. Tried “Da klapperten die Klapperschlangen bis ihr’ Klappern schlapper klangen” ?

  3. @Carla: Nope! I think I have Post Traumatic Stress after this experience. But you’re more than welcome to try and post it on YouTube…

  4. Hi
    I’m from Germany. Your website is really funny and interesting. Especially this article. xD The “Am Zehnten Zehnten…”-tonuge twister is really easy. (^_^) But the one with “Fischers Fritze” is hard for me, too.
    Keep up the good work.
    Greetings from Germany <3

  5. Try this one three times in a row:

    Brautkleid bleibt Brautkleid und Blaukraut bleibt Blaukraut!

    Make a video of it and send it to me, please!
    :-)

  6. I’ve been thinking of doing some videos like that since I cover topics like that on my blog too. I think you just challenged me. Since I’m an Austrian, I should try some of these…

    I’d also just posted about your Kiwi accent explanation, so I most definitely have to add this video too now!

    LOVE your blog. It’s funny that other people pick up topics that I do, just from another perspective…
