  1. This is fascinating! I’m from Poland and many would say that the Polish language is one big tongue twister 😂 One interesting thing I noticed when learning foreign languages (English and German) was that the tongue twisters are often easier for me to pronaunce than some of the regular words. Sometimes I can say a tongue twister easier than a native speaker, but I can’t pronounce basic words like “girl” for example 🤷
