Tongue twisters

We got to talking about tongue twisters with our neighbors Lori and David recently. David, who is French, had some classics to share with us. We have video of him saying them really fast. For those of you who can't make out the words (we're firmly in that category), here they are:

1. Un chasseur sachant chasser doit savoir chasser sans son chien. (A hunter knowing how to hunt must know how to hunt without his dog.)

2. Les chaussettes de l'archiduchesse sont-elles sèches ou archisèches? (Are the archduchess's socks dry or really dry?)

3. Trois tortues trottaient sur trois tréteaux très étroits. (Three turtles trotted on three very narrow sawhorses.)



Also appearing in the video are Molly's appreciative cackle and the top of Betsy's head. That's a red mesh bag Betsy is sporting.
