English Made Easy

One of my students found this on the internet and sent it to me.  What is in parenthesis is my addition to the text.




¿¿Quién dijo que el inglés es fácil???  A ver, este curso consta de 3 módulos: Who said learning English is easy???  This course consists of 3 levels)


1 - Modulo básico (Basic Level)


En español: Tres brujas miran tres relojes Swatch.  Que bruja mira que reloj?


En ingles: Three witches watch three Swatch watches.  Which witch watches which Swatch watch?






2 - Modulo avanzado (Advanced Level)


En español: Tres brujas 'travestis' miran los botones de tres relojes Swatch.  ¿Que bruja travesti mira los botones de que reloj Swatch?


En ingles: Three switched witches watch three Swatch watch switches.  Which switched witch watches which Swatch watch switch?






3 - ...y este ya es para masters (and now for Proficiency Level)


En español: Tres brujas suecas transexuales miran los botones de tres relojes 'Swatch' suizos.  Que bruja sueca transexual mira a que boton de que reloj 'Swatch' suizo?


En ingles: Three Swedish switched witches watch three Swiss Swatch watch switches.  Which Swedish switched witch watches which Swiss Swatch watch switch?


Ahora entiendes porque le dicen wachi wachi al Ingles (Now you understand why we say wachi wachi to the English)

¡¡¡¡Bueno, a practicar todo el mundo!!!!

  1. LOL, I just so love these tongue twisters! They are so so so so much fun! Even the Spanish ones are, even if I didn't understand every single word. Thanks for the chuckle!

  2. I'm ever so glad that you write "Spanish" Spanish, Brenda...I learned years ago that a little bit of book Espanol does me no good while traveling (or in the US as it's very prevalant) anywhere but in Spain! lol Slang makes any language more challenging.

    I'll never forget the first time I heard someone (Cuban Spanish) say "Bueno Bye" when hanging up the telephone. I was in a giggly mood anyway and it really made me laugh. :)
