If you want to level up your Spanish<\/a>, you need to practice some of these Spanish tongue twisters!<\/span><\/p>\n

What Are Tongue Twisters?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Tongue twisters are sets of words or phrases that are grammatically similar and often difficult to pronounce. The words in a tongue twister can be part of the same family of words, like <\/span>contar, contable y contabilidad<\/span><\/i> or they can be similar words with different meanings, like <\/span>casado<\/span><\/i> y <\/span>cazado<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The spanish word for tongue twisters is <\/span>trabalenguas<\/b>. This word contains the noun <\/span>lengua<\/b> and the verb <\/span>trabar.<\/b><\/p>\n

Trabar<\/b> means to produce mistakes when pronouncing due to the complexity or phonetic similarity of the words. <\/span>Lengua<\/b> means tongue and language.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Spanish<\/p>\n

Spanish tongue twisters will not only help you develop a\u00a0\u00a0Spanish accent,<\/a>\u00a0they can also help improve your pronunciation of difficult vowels. The tongue twisters you’ll learn in this post reflect the culture of Spanish-speaking countries. But remember that you have to recite them quickly, clearly and continuously.<\/span><\/p>\n

This Word Does Not Exist!<\/b><\/h2>\n

Spanish tongue twisters can use words that do not formally exist, but are formed based on one word that explains its meaning. For example, the mexican twister about an otolaryngologist:<\/p>\n

El otorrinolaring\u00f3logo de Parangaricutirim\u00edcuaro
\nse quiere desotorrinolangaparangaricutirimicuarizar.<\/p>\n

El desotorrinolaringaparangaricutimicuador que logre desotorrinolangaparangaricutirimucuarizarlo,<\/p>\n

buen desotorrinolaringaparangaricutimicuador ser\u00e1.<\/p>\n

Translation:\u00a0The otorhinolaryngologist of Parangaricutirim\u00edcuaro w<\/span>ants to stop being an otorhinolaryngologist of Parangaricutirim\u00edcuaro.\u00a0<\/span>The one that achieves un-otorhinolaryngologizing he of Parangaricutirim\u00edcuaro, w<\/span>ill become a good un-otorhinolaryngologizor of Parangaricutirim\u00edcuaro.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this example, we see that the words are formed from <\/span>otorrinolaring\u00f3logo and parangaricutirim\u00edcuaro.<\/b><\/p>\n

We understand that he wants to stop being a otolaryngologist in Parangaricutirim\u00edcuaro thanks to the prefix \u201cdes\u201d and suffix \u201c-zar\u201d that are placed at the beginning and the end of the words\u00a0<\/span>otorrinolaring\u00f3logo<\/b> and <\/span>parangaricutirim\u00edcuaro.\u00a0<\/b>These words do not exists! They were specially formed!<\/span><\/p>\n

Another peculiarity of tongue twisters that is evident in the examples above is the use of long words that have 20 or more vowels. These make tongue twisters especially difficult as not all words use diacritical marks (a glyph added to a letter that indicates the strongest vowel of the word). Examples: otorrinolaring\u00d3logo.<\/span><\/p>\n

A classic tongue twister about a bricked sky also illustrates this! You can understand the meaning of the words thanks to the prefixes and suffixes. <\/span><\/p>\n

El cielo est\u00e1 enladrillado,
\n\u00bfqui\u00e9n lo desenladrillar\u00e1?,
\nel desenladrillador que lo desenladrille,
\nbuen desenladrillador ser\u00e1.<\/p>\n

It means: <\/span>The sky is bricked, w<\/span>ho can <\/span>unbrick<\/b> it?\u00a0<\/span>The one<\/b> that unbricks it [desenladrillador can be translated as the one that unbricks it], <\/span>a good <\/span>desenladrillador<\/span><\/i> will become.<\/span><\/p>\n

Can you imagine a bricked sky?<\/p>\n

\"Spanish<\/p>\n

Context Is Everything<\/b><\/h2>\n

Tongue twisters can use one word that has different meanings. They help us understand that in some cases context determines the meaning of the words. For example:<\/span><\/p>\n

Como<\/i><\/b> poco coco <\/span><\/i>como<\/i><\/b>, poco coco compro. <\/span><\/i><\/h4>\n

Here the word como has two meanings: <\/span>como<\/b> from the verb comer and <\/span>como<\/b> as in \u201clike\u201d or \u201cas\u201d. It means: The less I eat coconut, the less I purchase it. Another example of this:<\/span><\/p>\n

Si la sierva que te <\/span>sirve<\/b>, <\/span>
\nno te <\/span>sirve<\/b> como sierva, <\/span>
\nde qu\u00e9 <\/span>sirve<\/b> que te sirvas <\/span>
\nde una sierva que no <\/span>sirve<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this example, <\/span>sirve<\/b> has different meanings. The translation is: \u00a0<\/span>If the servant that serves you, \u00a0<\/span>does not work as a servant, <\/span>what is the point of having an incompetent servant?<\/span><\/p>\n

The phrase \u201cde qu\u00e9 sirve que te sirvas\u201d must not be translated literally.<\/span><\/p>\n

These words are <\/span>homophones<\/b>, that have the same pronunciation and spelling, but different meanings. <\/span><\/p>\n

How Do You Pronounce These?!<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"Spanish<\/p>\n

Spanish tongue twisters can help us understand the rules of pronunciation. For example, <\/span>R<\/b> and <\/span>RR<\/b> have different pronunciation, but R is pronounced as RR when it is at the beginning of the word or after <\/span>L, N <\/b>and<\/span> S <\/b>as in the words <\/span>alrededor<\/b> and <\/span>enredar<\/b>. For example:<\/span><\/p>\n

Por desenredar el enredo que ayer enred\u00e9, <\/span>
\nhoy enredo el <\/span>desenredo<\/b> que desenred\u00e9 ayer. <\/span><\/p>\n

In this tongue twister, some Rs are pronounced as RR. The meaning: For untangling the mess I tangled yesterday, today I entangle <\/span>the mess<\/b> I untangled yesterday. The word <\/span>desenredo<\/b> here means the opposite of <\/span>enredo. <\/span><\/i>Another tongue twister to practice the R is:<\/span><\/p>\n

Tres tristes tigres comen trigo en un trigal. <\/span>
\nTanto trigo tragan<\/span>
\nque los tres tigres <\/span>tragones <\/b>
\ncon el trigo se atragantan.<\/span><\/p>\n

The meaning: Three sad tigers eat wheat in a wheat field. They swallow so much wheat that the three <\/span>swallowing<\/b> tigers choke on the wheat. <\/span><\/p>\n

Here the word tragones means they eat a lot! We can say that they eat like a horse! <\/span>This classic tongue twister is well known by all Spanish speaking kids. While the first phrase may be easy, this tongue twister is really difficult to pronounce completely. I am sure that more than one kid had problems with these sad tigers!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Learn<\/a><\/p>\n

Are You From Latin America or Spain?<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"Spanish
\nThis tongue twister helps us practice <\/span>V<\/b> and <\/span>B<\/b>. In Latin America, it may not be considered that hard as the vowels <\/span>V<\/b> and <\/span>B<\/b> have the same pronunciation, while in Spain it’s more difficult.<\/span><\/p>\n

Juan tuvo un tubo, <\/span>
\ny el tubo que tuvo se le rompi\u00f3, <\/span>
\ny para recuperar el tubo que tuvo, <\/span>
\ntuvo que comprar un tubo, <\/span>
\nigual al tubo que tuvo. <\/span><\/p>\n

It means: <\/span>John had a tube, and the tube he had was broken, and to recover the tube he had, he had to buy a tube, just like the tube he had<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

A tongue twister that helps us understand how to pronounce the vowel <\/span>\u00d1<\/b>, which is uncommon for english speakers, is this one:<\/span><\/p>\n

En este a\u00f1o el ni\u00f1o Nu\u00f1ez enga\u00f1\u00f3 al \u00f1o\u00f1o Nore\u00f1a con la pi\u00f1ata de anta\u00f1o. <\/span>
\nCuando el \u00f1a\u00f1igo Coru\u00f1a enca\u00f1onando el reba\u00f1o, en la ca\u00f1ada, <\/span>con sa\u00f1a<\/span><\/i>, lo ense\u00f1aba a cortar ca\u00f1a.<\/span><\/p>\n

It means: <\/span>
\nIn this year the boy Nu\u00f1ez deceived the spoiled Nore\u00f1a with the old pi\u00f1ata.<\/span>
\nWhen the <\/span>\u00f1a\u00f1igo<\/b> Coru\u00f1a, guiding the herd, in the gorge, <\/span>expertly<\/span><\/i>, he taught him to cut cane.<\/span><\/p>\n

As mentioned before, tongue twisters can help you understand the culture of a country. This tongue twister is from Cuba. The word <\/span>\u00f1a\u00f1igo <\/b>was a way to address the members of the old Cuban secret society Abaku\u00e1, formed only by black Cubans.<\/span><\/p>\n

Impossible adjectives!<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"Spanish
\nThis typical tongue twister about a hen and her chicks <\/span>has impossible adjectives!<\/span>
\nTengo una gallina <\/span>
\npinta, perlinta, pelizanca, repitiblanca, <\/span>
\ncon sus pollitos <\/span>
\npintos, perlintos, pelizancos, repitiblancos. <\/span>
\nSi la gallina no fuera pinta, perlinta, pelizanca, repitiblanca, <\/span>
\nlos pollitos no ser\u00edan pintos, perlintos, pelizancos, repitiblancos. <\/span><\/p>\n

It means:<\/span>
\nI have a hen<\/span>
\nOf different colours, <\/span>perlinta<\/b>, <\/span>pelizanca<\/b> [means with a hairy leg], really white,<\/span>
\nWith her chicks<\/span>
\nOf different colours, perlintos, hairy-legs, really white.<\/span>
\nIf the hen is not of different colours, perlinta, hairy-leg, really white,<\/span>
\nThe chicks would not be of different colours, perlintos, hairy-leg, really white.<\/span><\/p>\n

The word pinta can mean something of different colours, but also scoundrel or unscrupulous. The word pelizanca is formed from two words: the noun pelos and the noun zanca. Zanca is a part of a bird’s leg.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tongue twisters can also keep secrets! For example, this one:<\/span><\/p>\n

D\u00e1bale arroz a la zorra el abad. <\/span><\/p>\n

Can you see why it’s special? It is a palindrome! A word or a phrase that can be read the same backward as forward. It means: The abbot gave rice to the fox.<\/span><\/p>\n

Practicing Consonant Combinations\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n

Tongue twisters can teach us how to pronounce two consonants together, like\u00a0<\/span>tl, bl, cl<\/b> and other combinations. Usually foreigners find it difficult to pronounce these combinations. Here’s a good one:<\/span><\/p>\n

Pablito clav\u00f3 un clavito en la calva de un calvito. <\/span>
\nEn la calva de un calvito, un clavito clav\u00f3 Pablito. <\/span>
\nPablito clav\u00f3 un clavito. \u00bfQue clavito clav\u00f3 Pablito?<\/span><\/p>\n

This tongue twister means:\u00a0<\/span>Pablito drove a little nail on the bald head of a baldy.\u00a0<\/span>In the bald head of a baldy, a little nail was driven by Pablito.\u00a0<\/span>Pablito drove a little nail. What little nail did Pablito drive?<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Spanish<\/p>\n

When Your Child Wants Bed Time Story…<\/b><\/h2>\n

Tongue twisters can be long and tell a story, like this one about uncle Federico and Paco Peco. The words used are not difficult, but being so similar it is difficult to get them right!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h4>\n

Paco Peco, chico rico, insultaba como un loco a su t\u00edo Federico; y \u00e9ste dijo: <\/span>
\nPoco a poco, Paco Peco, poco pico.<\/span><\/p>\n

Me han dicho que has dicho un dicho que han dicho que he dicho yo, el que lo ha dicho, minti\u00f3, y en caso que hubiese dicho ese dicho que t\u00fa has dicho que han dicho que he dicho yo, dicho y redicho qued\u00f3.<\/span><\/p>\n

Y estar\u00eda muy bien dicho, siempre que yo hubiera dicho ese dicho que t\u00fa has dicho que han dicho que he dicho yo. <\/span><\/p>\n

It means:\u00a0<\/span>Paco Peco, a rich boy insulted his Uncle Federico like crazy; And he said:\u00a0<\/span>Little by little, Paco Peco, <\/span>poco pico<\/b>.\u00a0<\/span>I have been told that you have said a saying that they have said that I said, he who said it, has lied, and if he had said that saying that you said that they said that I said, told and retold the saying will stay.\u00a0<\/span>And it would be very well said, as long as I had said that saying that you said that they said that I said.<\/span><\/p>\n

The word poco means less or little and pico from picar means itch! It means that it didn\u2019t itch or bother. The things said didn\u2019t affect Federico.<\/span><\/p>\n
