Let's engage in a session of practicing Russian tongue twisters today! Tongue twisters serve as an excellent aid in refining your pronunciation, honing in on difficult sounds, and enhancing the pace of your speech, resulting in greater clarity.

Are you ready to give it a try? I'll recite each tongue twister twice: once at a slow pace and then gradually closer to a normal speed.

стоИт поп на копнЕ, колпАк на попЕ, копнА под попОм, поп под колпакОм. (п,к) 

шли сОрок мышЕй, неслИ шестнАдцать грошЕй, две мЫши поплОше неслИ по два грОша. (ш)

орЁл на горЕ, перО на орлЕ. горА под орлОм, орЁл под перОм. (Р,л)

These tongue twisters specifically target a variety of Russian sounds. Your goal is to enunciate them with utmost clarity. Remember, precision takes precedence over speed. Best of luck in your endeavor! Additionally, practicing tongue twisters can enhance your oral dexterity, further benefiting your language skills.

It's the biggest thing in the night sky, so it's no surprise the moon appears in many English expressions. Here are a few examples.

If someone says they "love you to the moon and back," it means they love you very much, because their love is as large as the distance between the Earth and the moon – an average of 384,000 kilometers.

This expression is used in Guess How Much I Love You, a 2008 children's book by Sam McBratney. It's usually said to romantic partners or people in your family.

If someone is talking "moonshine" it means they're talking about something that isn't real or is foolish. But more often someone will offer you a drink of "moonshine," which is a word used in the US for illegal liquor.

If something doesn't happen very often, it can be said to only happen "once in a blue moon." A "blue moon" isn't really blue – it's either when a second full moon is seen in the same month, or the third full moon when four full moons are seen in the same season.

Both types of blue moon don't happen very often, only about once every 2.7 years.
