Practice this Chinese Tongue Twister ( Lesson 2 Tongue Twister (2-4) )


四十是四十.              Sìshí shì sìshí.          Forty is Forty. 

十四是十四.              Shísì shì shísì.          Fourteen is Fourteen.
四十不是十四.          Sìshí bùshì shísì.       Forty is not Fourteen.
十四也不是四十.       Shísì yě bùshì sìshí.  Fourteen is not Forty, either.

This tongue twister is very difficult, especially for beginners but it is also very fun and good practice for pronunciation :)
