Speaking clearly and writing correctly is what people notice right away.
Скороговорун builds that skill out of short exercises: five minutes a day, no textbooks, no cramming.
It covers both diction and literacy. Tongue twisters and poems train your speech. Paronyms and pleonasms sharpen your vocabulary. Hyphenation covers spelling. Idioms are what make speech come alive.
EXERCISES
Tongue Twisters
Over 400 tongue twisters and articulation rhymes for children and adults. Each one comes with an illustration and a note on the sounds it drills. You can listen to a tongue twister, record your own voice and compare your recording with others.
Poems
Poems for working on intonation, pace and pauses. Also with audio, voice recording and comparison.
Articulation Exercises
Over 40 exercises for the lips, tongue, palate and larynx — step by step: what to do and how many times to repeat. Each one comes with a clear example. This is the groundwork, and without it sharp diction never happens.
Breathing Exercises
Breathing drills: so your speech sounds steady, you have enough air for a long phrase and you can hold a pause.
Sound Drills
Over 120 syllable chains like "bi-bi-pibbi, be-be-pebbe" — the familiar speech therapy warm-up for individual sounds. You can listen to the model and record yourself.
Paronyms
Over 700 tasks: two similar words and one definition — choose the right one. «Академичный» or «академический», «холодеть» or «холодить». Every word comes with its meaning, its stress mark and usage examples.
Hyphenation
Over 4,700 words and three formats: whether a word can be broken across lines, finding the version with a mistake, placing the break points yourself by tapping between letters. After you answer, the app shows every valid break and the rules that apply here.
Pleonasm
Around 300 sentences with one word too many. Find the redundant word — and read the explanation of why it repeats the meaning already there.
Idioms
Over 1,400 set expressions: choose the correct meaning of an idiom, with an explanation and examples.
HOW IT WORKS
• Every exercise has its own topic: diction, intonation, vocabulary, spelling, idioms, style errors
• And its own difficulty level — from "Not hard at all" to "On pins and needles"
• Search, filters and sorting, to find what you need quickly
• Favorites — keep there whatever you want to repeat
• A hint with the definition and examples on every task
• Getting it wrong is nothing to fear: at the end there is always a breakdown against the rules of Russian
• The look of the app adjusts to your taste
WHO IT IS FOR
• Those who speak in public, go live and work with their voice — so diction never lets them down before an audience
• School and university students: paronyms, pleonasms, idioms and hyphenation appear in the EGE and OGE exams in Russian
• Children and parents — tongue twisters, articulation and breathing exercises
• Teachers of Russian and speech therapists — as ready-made material for lessons
• Everyone learning Russian who wants to speak and write correctly
Скороговорун — five minutes a day to make your Russian sound better.
