A Collection of Funny Animal Tongue Twisters (11–20)
Warm snail
It’s one of those tongue twisters that’s short but hard to pronounce.
What makes this phrase tricky is the repeated “ka” sounds, which make smooth pronunciation very difficult.
Your tongue tends to get tangled between “atatakaka” and “katatsumuri,” and trying to say it quickly makes mistakes even more likely.
To say this tongue twister well, it’s important to start slowly and practice while checking your tongue movements.
Keep your mouth movements smooth and pay attention to the breaks between sounds, then gradually increase your speed.
A monkey that stabs bamboo, a monkey that gets stabbed by bamboo, a monkey that gets stabbed by bamboo and rubs (it).

Isn’t this tongue twister fairly difficult? It’s almost nothing but the sound “sa,” and if you don’t write it in kanji it practically makes no sense.
“Sasa sasaru saru” (a monkey getting pricked by bamboo grass) is especially hard.
As for practice, it’s best to rehearse each “saru” segment separately and then connect them.
Also, if you picture the kanji or visualize the situation as you try it, I think it feels easier than just listening.
Don’t you think it’s amazing that the person who made this tongue twister could even imagine such a scenario?
If a pig hits a pig
@vivitabby Can you say the last part? lol#Vivitabby#bibitabiIdolTongue twister
Original song – Vivitabby – Vivitabby
As expected, the longer they are, the harder tongue twisters get.
“When a pig hit a pig, the pig that got hit hit the pig that hit it, so the pig that did the hitting and the pig that got hit both toppled over.” I think each sentence on its own is easy enough to say, but with “buta” (pig) and “butta” (hit) continuing in such rapid succession, a first-timer is bound to stumble somewhere.
Start by memorizing the passage itself.
If you imagine a bit of a story so you’re not thrown off by the mouthfeel, it might become just a little easier to say.
One day at noon, I flinched at a nihilistic duck’s leech.
This is a tongue twister that depicts an animal encounter and reaction: a nihilistic-acting duck recoils when it sees a leech.
You picture a cool, unflappable demeanor based on the word “nihilistic,” but the later reaction of “recoiled” creates a sense of contrast.
It makes you imagine what kind of duck it is—maybe it really can’t stand leeches.
The difficulty lies in the cluster of similar-sounding words like “hiru” (day), “nihiru” (nihilistic), “ahiru” (duck), “hiru” (leech), and “hirunda” (recoiled).
Focusing on how you pronounce that section is key.
Kitty, kitty, grand-kitty
It has the classic structure of a tongue twister where you add “child” and “grandchild” in order to a specific word.
As the one character for “ko” (child) and the two characters for “mago” (grandchild) are added, the rhythm changes subtly, which makes it tricky.
Since the elongated word “nyanko” is central, creating the sound in the back of the mouth and controlling your breath are important for clear pronunciation.
Precisely because the words are simple, repeating them to make it hard to tell which part you’re saying is what makes it an effective tongue twister.
Kappapapakappa
This tongue twister focuses on two different words that sound the same: kappa the yokai and kappa meaning raincoat.
It depicts a certain scene where a dad kappa is wearing a raincoat kappa, and the connecting word “papa” causes a run of repeated ‘pa’ sounds.
Structurally, it’s made up of three blocks—‘kappa,’ ‘papa,’ and ‘kappa’—so it may be easier to say if you’re mindful of the breaks.
The plosive ‘pa’ requires clear mouth movement, so putting some force into it is also an important point.

A small pimple on the right ear
This tongue twister is tricky, and it also invites a bit of imagination.
First, let me point out what makes it difficult: it uses the sound “ni” a lot.
Because “ni” appears in succession, you can easily get confused about how many times you’ve said it and where you are in the phrase.
Also, the unfamiliar phrase “mini nikibi” (tiny pimple) shows up, which is amusing.
It makes you wonder how small it is and where on the ear it appears, and you can’t help but picture it.
