Here is a challenge. Can you say this tongue twister in Arabic? Good luck and enjoy it.

المشمش ده مش من مشمشكم وكمان المشمش ده مش من مشمشنا

al mishmish dah mish min mishmishkum wa kaman al mishmish dah mish min mishmishnah.

The apricot is not your apricot and the apricot is also not our apricot.

خيط حرير على حيط خليل

khayT Hareer 3ala HayT khaleel.

A silken thread is on Khaleel’s wall.

(This one is quite difficult as most of the sounds come from the back of the throat!)
