Betty Botter had some butter,
"But," she said, "this butter's bitter.
If I bake this bitter butter,
it would make my batter bitter.
But a bit of better butter--
that would make my batter better."
So she bought a bit of butter,
better than her bitter butter,
and she baked it in her batter,
and the batter was not bitter.
So 'twas better Betty Botter
bought a bit of better butter
ashpreet_htbk 5th August 2005, 14:10 this one is fairly easy ... !!
She sells sea shells by the sea shore.
The shells she sells are surely seashells.
So if she sells shells on the seashore,
I'm sure she sells seashore shells.

Mr. See owned a saw.
And Mr. Soar owned a seesaw.
Now See's saw sawed Soar's seesaw
Before Soar saw See,
Which made Soar sore.
Had Soar seen See's saw
Before See sawed Soar's seesaw,
See's saw would not have sawed
Soar's seesaw.
So See's saw sawed Soar's seesaw.
But it was sad to see Soar so sore
Just because See's saw sawed
Soar's seesaw!
ashpreet_htbk 7th August 2005, 10:56 You've no need to light a night-light
On a light night like tonight,
For a night-light's light's a slight light,
And tonight's a night that's light.
When a night's light, like tonight's light,
It is really not quite right
To light night-lights with their slight lights
On a light night like tonigh

Or what ought to be taught her?
If to hoot and to toot a Hottentot tot
Be taught by her Hottentot tutor,
Ought the tutor get hot
If the Hottentot tot
Hoot and toot at her Hottentot tutor?

GillBates 13th August 2005, 15:46 auch. imho, these cannot measure ones capabilty of speaking a languege. for example there tons of phrases like these in every language and even the natives get stuck in it. quite hard i might say.

Duh ... i dont think any1 mentioned tht ... if u know all of these phrases... ur good at english... :evil:
GillBates 13th August 2005, 23:07 really?
these phrases measure ones capability of speaking fast and clear. a person who has this "
ability" can say this words without having the slightest clue of what they mean(as long as someone tells him how they sound) and belive me a person like him doesn't know english... :roll:

Yeku 23rd August 2005, 03:59 Here's one in spanish. Give it a shot xD
Dijo un jaque de Jerez
con su faja y traje majo:
«Yo al más guapo el juego atajo,
que soy jaque de ajedrez».
Un gitano que el jaez
aflojaba a un jaco cojo,
cogiendo, lleno de enojo,
de esquilar la tijereta,
dijo al jaque: «Por la jeta
te la encajo si te cojo».
«Nadie me moja la oreja»,
dijo el jaque, y arrempuja;
el gitano también puja,
y uno aguija y otro ceja.
En jarana tan pareja
el jaco cojo se encaja,
y tales coces baraja,
que al empuje del zancajo,
hizo entrar sin gran trabajo,
a gitano y jaque en caja
