Patiences...lots of ruby needs time to load. This page (hopefully) will and can be a collection of Chinese tongue-twisters and other interesting tidbits. From experience teaching Chinese, i know that having pinyin right above the character helps alot (not just beginners either :P). Whichs is why i am going to be using Ruby notation here.

Four is Four, Ten is Ten
Note: 谁 is actually pronounced as shuí, like, but in this tongue-twister is pronounced ...just because :P

Four is four

，

Ten is ten

，

Fourteen is fourteen

.

Forty is forty

If anyone says fourteen as "shí shì", they should be hit fourteen times.

If anyone says forty as "shì shí", they should be hit forty times
