    Arabic Tongue Twisters

    I recently watched this video on you tube (below, it is fairly funny), and I think the teacher is throwing Arabic tongue twisters at the student. I use English tongue twisters in my (intermediate and above!) ESL classes, and am curious about Arabic ones. Can anyone take a crack at the ones form this video? Got any others to share?

    Replying to my own post after a little successful google-fu, I found this:
    1st Intern. Collection of Tongue Twisters - Arabic

    I think the guy in the video does a variation of #18!

    Well, guttural consonants pronunciation is quite difficult in arabic, but, of course, it depends on articulation skills...
    The guy on the video is pronouncing classical arab sounds, which are used in every arab dialect.
