If you say it slowly, it isn't difficult
To me both French and English are difficult as there are so many words which stop with consonant
Really my toungue is twisted

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

>Saying it slowly is cheating though!
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 s (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
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"

Turn to the subject,
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?
There are still many English words which I don't know and have to learn more and more

"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
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!

for the word for having a rest at work.
I asked you because a friend of mine who are not good at English asked me, but I though it's very fuzzy meaning(it doesn't make sense of English) I thought you have very direct expression.
I'll tell to my friend with confident
Really confused between Japanese and English if they don't have exact mutual same meanings

I did, Prof.
Very sticky hot wind blew me
And my airconditioner is almost half broken
The best thing is to go to the supermarkets or department stores or maybe to hospital and stay ther in the daytime But I don't like going out
Shall I put my head into the fridge
(to tell the truth, I DID it years ago )

It's cool this morning (though it's still 5.37).
The sun is starting SHINNING
I have a French lesson today
Then, I'll teach my friend English (convos) through the internet.
I'll tell you about the "space" for having a break at office tonight
Prof, Maybe, I need to speak with you directly to correct my English intonation after her lesson
