Tongue-twisters are phrases or sentences which are hard to speak fast, usually because of alliteration or a sequence of words with very similar sounds. Tongue-twisters help develop speech skills and improve pronunciation. To get the full effect of tongue-twisters you should repeat them several times, as quickly as possible, without stumbling or mispronouncing.

A dame – äàìà; lame – õðîìîé; tame – ðó÷íîé; a crane - æóðàâëü
