She sells sea shells on the sea shore.

Do you remember this tongue-twister? We used to repeat those kind of phrases in my English classes to get used to the sounds, and just for fun. There also quite a few of them in Bulgarian (I will mention a few, but not with the Bulgarian alphabet):

Kral Karl i kralica Klara krali klarineti.
Petar plet plete po tri go pati preplita.

And so on. So that's what came on my mind when I saw these shells on the sea shore. But there was no one selling them :)


Tongue twister
A tongue-twister is a phrase in any language that is designed to be difficult to articulate properly. Tongue-twisters can rely on similar but distinct phonemes (e.g., s [s] and sh [ʃ]), unfamiliar constructs in loan-words or other features of the language.
Many tongue-twisters use a combination of alliteration and rhyme. They have two or three sequences of sounds, then the same sequences of sounds with some sounds exchanged. For example, She sells sea shells on the sea shore. The shells that she sells are sea shells I'm sure. (or a variation: She sells sea shells on a sea shore, so the shells she sells are sure sea shore shells).

Some tongue-twisters are short words or phrases, which become tongue-twisters when repeated rapidly (often expressed as "Say this ten times fast!"). Examples include "toy boat" and "Peggy Babcock". "Big whip" is another that is virtually impossible to say quickly, due to the lip movement required between the "g" and "wh" sounds.

The hardest tongue-twister in the English language is supposedly The sixth sick sheikh's sixth sheep's sick. An even longer version of this is The sixth sick sheikh's sixth sheep's sick so six slick sheiks sold six sick sheep six silk sheets.
