From ‘Around te rugged rock, te ragged rascal ran’ to ‘red leather, yellow leather’, one aspect of mastering a language is being able to master its tongue twisters. They are always decidedly odd sentences:

Zwei schwarze schleimige Schlangen sitzen zwischen zwei spitzen Steinen und zischen (German): “Two black slimy snakes sit between two pointed stones and hiss”.
Other favourites in te European arena include:

W Szczebrzeszynie chrząszcz brzmi w trzcinie (Polish): "In te town of Szczebrzeszyn a beetle buzzes in te reeds".
