As a bit of fun I looked for some Japanese Tongue Twisters, they sound fun and are fun to say!
http://nafai.org/japanese/kanji/tongue.php
Is an OK page though you may need to switch encoding to Shift JIS.
My favourites are
李も桃、桃も桃、桃にも色々有る。
Sumomo mo momo, momo mo momo, momo nimo iroiro aru.
Plums are a kind of peach; peaches are also a kind of peach; there are many different kinds of peaches.この猫ここの猫の子猫この子猫ね。
Kono neko koko no neko no koneko kono koneko ne.
This cat is the kitten of the cat here, this kitten!I saw a thing on the Internets somewhere of a hello project member who had a robot made of her and they had a competition of saying tongue twisters. I can’t find it now though, but let me assure you robots are pretty good at tongue twisters.
So do you like tongue twisters? Do you like Japanese tongue twisters? I think they’re good ways to practice the rhythms of Japanese speaking, I know I’m not used to the syllable arrangement and it sometimes seems like quite a mouthful, so take it to the limit.

I didn’t want to eat the bread, but I became wanting to eat it.
This one isn’t that hard actually! But I think I saw it on GuideToJapanese one time.I’ve found that 早口言葉 are not really that hard to say. The nature of the language’s general vowel-consonant pattern is easy to say fast in almost any combination. So I wouldn’t really call them tongue twisters but translate more directly as quickly-spoken-phrases.
There’s no way either of those is as hard as
Ben bends Bim’s broom. Bim bends Ben’s broom.
Bim’s bends. Ben’s bends.
Ben’s bent broom breaks. Bim’s bent broom breaks.In that case, let’s have a little chat about tweetle beetles. =P

say that 10 times fast without messing up the ‘j’, ‘s’ and ‘sh’ sounds!
Merged with the older tongue twisters thread.

Missing, that is probably the funniest thing I’ve seen on this forum.
