Tongue-twisters

Sunday, March 22nd, 2009

Ou vires-langue en français parce que la langue s’emmêle à les prononcer ! Voici quelques-unes des phrases les plus connues et les plus difficiles à prononcer ! Ce sont souvent des phrases un peu absurdes (comme les chaussettes de l’archiduchesse …) mais drôles à entendre !

Esaayez donc !

Bonne chance !

Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.
Did Peter Piper pick a peck of pickled peppers?
If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers,
where’s the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?

Say this shortly, say this softly.
Say this sixteen times in succession.

Betty Botter had some butter,
“But,” she said, “this butter’s bitter.
If I bake this bitter butter,
it would make my batter bitter.
But a bit of better butter–
that would make my batter better.”

So she bought a bit of butter,
better than her bitter butter,
and she baked it in her batter,
and the batter was not bitter.
So ’twas better Betty Botter
bought a bit of better butter.

A big black bug bit a big black bear,
made the big black bear bleed blood.

She sells sea shells by the sea shore.
The shells she sells are surely seashells.
So if she sells shells on the seashore,
I’m sure she sells seashore shells.

Sea levels rising twice as fast as predicted

Saturday, March 14th, 2009

Sea levels are predicted to rise twice as fast as was forecast by the United Nations only two years ago, threatening hundreds of millions of people with catastrophe. Rapidly melting ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica are likely to push up sea levels by a metre or more by 2100.
