Tongue twister #39: Happy Hector
❗️Challenge yourself with this tongue twister:
▶️ Hector the happy hedgehog hugged heaps of hibiscus while humming a harmonious hymn.
Translation:
Baxtli tipratikan Gektor gibiskusni quchoqlab, uyg‘un madhiya kuylamoqda.
Why practice?
🔘 Pronunciation – The [h] sound is always soft in English, not like the Russian [x]. Unfortunately for Uzbeks, the two are not clearly distinguished in the Uzbek language.
