    Hi Llyane,

    What fun! I am sitting here trying to say Zaza zézaie, Zizi zozote over and over again. I really thought that would be easy to do, but it only made my dog howl.

    Thanks for the French lesson and I had a blast!

    One of my favorite movies of all times is Amelie Poulain… and there’s a tongue twister made out of the bad character’s name… it’s kind of funny. Other than that I love the idea of a French tongue twister because of the pronunciation.
