Saying it slowly is cheating though! Do any of them make rude words if you get them wrong, like some English ones do?

smiley - yikes
REALLY? I didn't know that!!
As to tongue twister, we haven't any words which make peple feel bad/cheat speaking slowly, I think.

--------------------

Because my smiley - chicks (5-year-old girls) enjoyed the sound "P" at our English lesson (3 girls), I had to say Peter Piper picked a pickled petter.... over and over again smiley - grovel
As they couldn't say all these sentences, I asked them of speaking "Peter Piper" 3 times, at first, then 5 times as quick as they can. They enjoyed a lot and I'm sure they now remember the sound "Peter Piper" smiley - laugh

Turn to the subject,
smiley - geek
Please tell me the proper word,
A room at office to have a rest for worker.
I found a resting room. But in American English REST Room means toilet. My Japanese friend said that should be "waiting room". But I don't think that dosen't make any sense of that in English.
Have you got a special word for the room to have a rest?

smiley - grr There are still many English words which I don't know and have to learn more and more smiley - groan

"waiting room" is refered to when you go to a doctors surgery or hospital,

ie:- please go in to the waiting room and the doctor will send for you shortly.

rest room, is indeed American/English for toilet, also the American's call it "the John" I do not know the reason why!?


room for office workers/rest?, we do not have a pacific name for, it could be a smoke room(cigarettes etc), I do not actualy know if our offices have rooms for a break etc, apart for a canteen area

Tongue twisters should be said as fast as possible without tying your tongue in knots smiley - smiley

Try:

I'm not the pheasant plucker, I'm the pheasant plucker's son, I'm only plucking pheasants 'til the pheasant plucker comes

But try it alone away from people who will get offended if you say it wrong and end up swearing!
