nzlegend 1 Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 I have made up a few myself lately for students playing on sounds notoriously difficult for those entrenched in their use of katakana. sh, se, l, r, wr etc. one could just not say walrus, that got me thinking here are a couple.

The shy shoeless shiek's sixth sheep sat shyly seated on six shaggy sacks shining seashells from the seashore Link to post Share on other sites

sock_monkey 0 Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 then it's prob close to a montreal style bagel, they tend to be smaller, harder, and more dense than their NY counterparts. they also have a bit of honey added in the dough for sweetness. Link to post Share on other sites
