In this thread, we post tongue twisters that we have heard, or made up, and if you want to, you can post the results of what you said as you said the tongue twisters.

Some known ones
1. Toy boat (x5)
2. Peter Piper picked a peck of peppers. (x3)

One I made up
3. Seven Slithering Snakes Slithered so slowly. (x3)

Peter Piper's spanish variant:
Pepe Pecas pica papas con un pico.

Some more in spanish:
1.-El rey de Constantinopla se quiere deconstantinopolitarizar, ¿quién lo deconstantinopolitarizará? El deconstantinopolitarizador que lo deconstantinopolitarice buen constantinopolitarizador será.
2.-Camarón caramelo, caramelo camarón. (x∞)
3.-Tres tristes tigres tragaban trigo en un trigal en tres tristes trastos.
4.-Erre con erre guitarra, erre con erre barril; qué rápido ruedan las ruedas, del ferrocarril.
5.-Parangaricutirimícuaro.

:D

I'm afraid I hardly speak any spanish, (no coprendo espanol), but some other people here probably do.

I can't tell if you're tring to correct me, or if you're just talking to Kiddy14, but if you're tring to correct me, I think "coprendo" is close enough, because it means "I can understand" in english, and if you put "no" before it, it means I don't understand it, so I'm saying I don't understand spanish in spanish.

I wasn't trying to correct you, but if we're going to get technical, then let me say just a few things:
"No habla" means I don't understand. You were trying to say "No comprende" (as opposed to "No coprendo), which doesn't mean "I don't understand". It means I don't comprehend.

Yeah, they mean essentially the same thing, but I like to get technical.

This is off topic, so it ends with me.
