I love this tongue twister so much I trained myself to say it flawlessly: "Amidst the mists and fiercest frosts with barest wrists and stoutest boasts, he thrusts his fists against the posts and still insists he sees the ghosts."
RaymondHng we’re talking about accents here which are under the umbrella of language. Phonetics is what we’re talking about here. It’s under the umbrella of phonology.
I'm honestly shocked at how much the advice in these videos can help to improve ones ability to talk differently. In my head language was always kind of ethereal and mysterious.. But now I realize that's language is just as much of a science as chemistry.
This was fascinating! Have you ever worked with beatboxers? I think it would be super cool to hear a linguist/voice coach go into beatboxer techniques.
You won't regret it. It was one of my two majors and it's touched so much of my life. We use speech and writing almost every minute of every day, and diving deeply into how it all works will be very rewarding for you. Have fun!
He looks like Magneto and Glenn Howerton and sounds like a supportive 4th Grade teacher who doesn’t get paid enough and gives gold stars or smarties to the kids on the last Friday of the month because they deserve it, gosh dang it. I adore this man.
@@DarlingMissDarling sorry I didn't mean for it to come off so pretentious 😣 I'm just passionate about linguistics and respect Erik's professional and knowledge.
@@car3ss The Rural Juror Ruler. I can never pronounce these right. I always end up rolling either the first r or the second or just replacing r with l. Nightmare! Ends up like r and l crashed into each other.
I think it could be due to the way of producing vowels, maybe for accent or easeness in speach. If your vowels are produced rather close to one another, then the difference in patterns would be lesser than in others, making it easier for you.
Firstly, I absolutely adore Erik Singer videos, thanks for another interesting and educational 16 minutes! Secondly, expanding on the topic of tricky sound sequences, in Russian we have a really tricky combination "жр", which is a zh sound (like in "usual") followed by a hard r. It is not really common but it's a nightmare to say quickly without a pause. I tried to compose a little something here for you: Ржавый жрец Ржига ржëт и жрëт рожь Sounds something like "Rzhaviy zhrets rzhiga rzhyot i zhryot rozh" and translates roughly to "A rusty priest Rzhiga (that's just a surname) laughs and eats rye"
Our favourite Wired contributer!!!! (my fav tongue twister is "sju sjösjuka sjömän sköttes av sju sköna sjuksköterskor" cos it makes english speakers just kind of blink at you in horror!)
I’m Latino and I can roll my “rr’s” but I really have to focus. If I’m just speaking, they sound funny. My cousins make fun of me because “arroz” sounds like “adoz”.
It's funny because when I try to roll my Rs I can't do it, but when I don't think about it and just talk it happens and I notice it. After noticing I try to replicate it, and pretty much always fail. My brain is stupid.
I don't see how the "hardest tongue twister ever" comes even close to The sixth sick Sheikh's sixth sheep's sick. I think those MIT researchers just didn't interview any actors.
I picture Erik Singer repeating tongue twisters over and over again to calm himself down when he's nervous. Why not try one in Spanish next time: Tres tristes tigres tragaban trigo en un trigal, en tres tristes trastos, tragaban trigo, tres tristes tigres ;-)
My favorite tongue-twister is in French: "J'ai vu six cents Suisses suçant six cents six saucisses dont six en sauce et six cents sans sauce." Some of their tongue-twisters are a whole saga: "C'est l'évadé du Nevada qui dévalait dans la vallée, dans la vallée du Nevada, qu'il dévalait pour s'évader, sur un vilain vélo volé, qu'il a volé dans une villa, et le valet qui fut volé vit l'évadé du Nevada qui dévalait dans la vallée, dans la vallée du Nevada, qu'il dévalait pour s'évader sur un vilain vélo volé."
Yeah, like most books are what you'd expect him to have, about speech, sounds, dialects, and languange... but then there are three books about Swedish/Scandinavian food and one book about Norse mythology. Curious!
I always thought "Toy Boat" was difficult for absolutely everybody, but my wife, who speaks perfect Canadian American English, has no trouble with it. Because her other first language is French. French requires much more complex and rapid shifts among closely related vowels. The fact that she and her friends also will switch back and forth between correctly accented French and English within sentences gives them even more practice with precise, quick vowel changes.
Linguistic major here! Love this, he goes over all lot of information while keeping it still relatable and understandable to someone who doesn't know the technical terms
I had way too much fun laughing at myself failing these tongue twisters, and the accent practice sentences were interesting. Awesome video with Mr. Singer as always!
I've found the trick to these is to think musically. If I can slot the sounds into a rhythm things get a ton easier, especially if I allow a beat between words or sections.
It's one of my favorites, too. I was introduced to it on the internet with the full intro being "congrats! You are now aware you cannot say 'Irish wristwatch'". At the time, it was a correct statement but I practiced enough that it's pretty easy to say now and it makes me feel really powerful because of that
You're going between post-alveolar ('sh'), and alveolar ('s') and back again ('tch'). Plus, the bunched tongue for 'r' makes you want to produce an 's' that sounds retracted (this is why a lot of people say something like 'shtraight' and 'shtring' instead of 'straight' and 'string' in every day speech). Finally, you're switching up a bunch of different manners of constriction: there's a fricative ('sh'), a fricative + stop ('st') and a stop + fricative which is also called an affricate ('tch'). So basically yes-- alternating the place and manner of constriction between the tongue and the hard palate and throwing some 'r's in between.
@@dinimueter9961 I know it like that: Tief im dichten Fichtendickicht picken dicke Finken tüchtig! (There is just SO MUCH that can go horribly wrong and vulgar when pronouncing it...)
I also like "Zwanzk zkwetschte Zwetschkn und zwanzk zkwetschte Zwetschkn san viazk zkwetschte Zwetschkn" (yes that's German too :D) but I can definitely never get the Blaukraut one right...NEVER!
The one that was supposedly the "most difficult tongue twister" was kind of the easiest one for me? I'm Irish, I did find a good few others ones pretty difficult tho 😊
This is a remarkable video. I find that knowing the backstory to a sentence really helps, because Pad Kid Poured Curd Pulled Cod is easy for a Singaporean. It's about a Thai kid working in a hawker center. He was taking a lunch break with some curd rice (it's an Indian tradition where you pour your raita onto your rice and mix it to eat) before going back to his fish noodle making job.
I feel like every time I watch something like this I have a newfound appreciation for deaf people who have managed to learn how to speak. It's so complicated! And they manage without any auditory feedback!

So what makes "Irish wristwatch" so hard to say is a combination of the American "r" and the back and forth movement of "sh" to "st" to "w"?
'Irish wristwatch' is one of my favourites. Generally you don't have to ask people to say it 3 times fast, they'll slip on the very first try.
