Each language has some sentences\/phrases\/rhymes that contain really hard to pronounce words, especially when they are put together with other words.<\/p>\n

In Polish we call it “\u0141amanie j\u0119zyka<\/strong>“, which translated would be literally “breaking tongue”.<\/p>\n

Here are 3 different ones that you can “practice” with…And don’t worry if you are having hard time with it, a lot of native Polish speakers can not say it correctly. I’m attaching a video which shows you how to pronounce it. I will try to translate it for you as well. It may not be “100% accurate” translation though. A lot of words that are used here can not be found in books or dictionaries, but I will do my best.<\/p>\n
