## What is Скороговорун?

Скороговорун is a Russian pronunciation, spelling and vocabulary trainer built around the same drills Russian actors, radio hosts and speech therapists use: tongue twisters, sound drills and articulation warm-ups. If you are learning Russian and can already read Cyrillic, this is the missing practice tool between textbook lessons and real conversation.

Five minutes a day. No lessons, no flash-card grind — just real practice.

RUSSIAN PRONUNCIATION

Tongue twisters
400+ Russian tongue twisters (skorogovorki), each marked with the sounds it trains — from easy to famously unpronounceable. Listen to the native recording, record yourself and compare the two.

Sound drilling
120+ syllable chains like «bi-bi-pibbi, be-be-pebbe» — the classic speech-therapy warm-up for mastering individual Russian sounds, including the hard ones: Р, Ш, Щ, Ы.

Articulation gymnastics
40+ step-by-step exercises for lips, tongue and palate. This is how native speakers train clear diction — and it works even better for learners.

Breathing exercises
Keep your voice steady through long Russian sentences.

Poems
48 classic poems for practicing intonation, rhythm and pauses — with audio, voice recording and comparison.

RUSSIAN WORD STRESS AND DICTIONARY

Russian word stress is unpredictable, and putting it on the wrong syllable is the most common giveaway of a foreign accent. Скороговорун includes a dictionary of 5,561 Russian words with stress marks, definitions and usage examples, organized in 50 topic categories. Look up any word, check where the stress falls, read the definition — an orthoepic and defining dictionary in one.

RUSSIAN SPELLING AND GRAMMAR

Word hyphenation
4,700+ words and three task types: decide whether a word can be split, spot the wrong break, or place the break points yourself. After every answer — the Russian spelling rules that apply.

«-тся» and «-ться» verb endings
500 sentences on the most common Russian grammar trap: reflexive verb endings that sound identical but are spelled differently. Choose the right form and check the rule.

Pleonasms
Around 300 sentences with one redundant word. Find it — and read why it duplicates the meaning. A quick drill in Russian grammar and style.

RUSSIAN VOCABULARY

Paronyms
700+ confusable Russian word pairs — choose the word that matches the definition. Each word comes with its meaning, stress mark and usage examples.

Idioms
1,400+ Russian idioms with meaning quizzes, explanations and examples.

Homographs
93 word pairs spelled the same but pronounced differently — the meaning changes with the word stress.

HOW IT WORKS
• Every exercise has a difficulty level — start easy, work up
• Search, filters and favorites to build your own practice set
• Hints with definitions and examples in every task
• The app interface is in English

Скороговорун — five minutes a day for better Russian pronunciation, spelling and vocabulary.

P.s. я понимаю что разработчикам надо зарабатывать, но все же)) Хотя бы прежние вещи можно было бы оставить бесплатными))

### 1/5 — Ошибка!

*2026-09-03*

После 20 упражнений в каждом разделе выдает ошибку. Видимо там предложение о покупке подписки, но оно не отображается. 
Приложение полезное, но не доработанное.

**Developer response:** Здравствуйте! Спасибо большое за ваш отзыв. Попробуйте обновить приложение, уже вышла новая версия. Если не поможет, могли бы вы отправить по адресу aleeexshavkunov@gmail.com видео или скриншот как вы находитесь на экране"Подписка" и появляется эта ошибка?
