Learning English

This is a country, where even the little children are speaking English fluently. Therefore, we strictly recommend, that you practice your English a little bit.

Lets start right now.

If a woodchuck could chuck wood, how much wood could a woodchuck chuck?
No, you don't have to know the answer, but the pronunciation.
Lets try this one.
Sally sells seashells by the seashore
You see, you learned already some important things. Especially, we found no American who speaks "real" English. Don't be afraid to speak English, some California citizens, living here since years, probably speak less English than you do.
... it took one year to find the answer:

"How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?"
'A woodchuck could chuck no amount of wood, since a woodchuck can't
chuck wood.'
"But if a woodchuck could chuck and would chuck some amount of wood,
what amount of wood would a woodchuck chuck?"
'Even if a woodchuck could chuck wood, and even if a woodchuck would
chuck wood, should a woodchuck chuck wood?'
"A woodchuck should chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood, as long
as a woodchuck would chuck wood."
