Accents in the Ligurian tongue twister
In order for the longest tongue twister “Liguria” to benefit you and become an excellent help for the development of the articulatory apparatus, it is very important to read it correctly. After all, it’s not enough to clearly and distinctly say “on Thursday the fourth” or about how ships maneuvered somewhere there. It is important to understand the meaning and essence of the text from the tongue twisters, and here you cannot do without some explanations. In addition, such comments will make your speech more correct and competent. After all, today many people distort accents.
So here are some important notes about accent placement in Liguria:
- “Sasha” - emphasis on the second vowel, since we are not talking about a name, but about a pillow with a scent to repel moths;
- In the words “sergeant” and “captain”, which denote military ranks, the emphasis is on the first syllable;
- In the phrase “tar widow” the emphasis is also on the first vowel.
On a note! In any word with the letter “E” the emphasis is always placed on it.
It is also worth noting that the stress falls on the first syllable in the word “creeped”, but when pronouncing the name of the city “Barndenburg”, the emphasis should be shifted to the sound “u”, since according to the rules of the Russian language this word is read in this way. The “y” is also emphasized when denoting Liguria itself.
Note! Liguria is not only the name of the proposed text for the development of diction, but also the region of Italy.
When working on a long tongue twister, pay attention to the reading of the word “sexton”. Here the emphasis is on the very last sound.
When you read Liguria, read the names correctly. Here you may have a hitch with the words “Frola, Frolu.” It is worth mentioning right away that the interpretation of the correct pronunciation of this name in various sources may differ from each other. But don't forget the rules and their exceptions. In the names Peter, Frol, Lev, the emphasis is on the last syllable.
Of course, such a big tongue twister about Liguria, as it is commonly called, will not be “given” to you just like that. After all, some of the words in it are outdated; today they are practically not found in our everyday life - hence the main difficulties.
How to work with the text of the tongue twister “Liguria”
If you decide to download “Liguria” and work on the text, then you should organize your work correctly. It is believed that with desire, some effort and systematic work, you can memorize the text about the Ligurian traffic controller in just 7 days. Here's a little plan:
- Read the text slowly for 15 minutes, trying to understand the essence. Read each word clearly and correctly, placing all accents correctly.
- Read again using the same principle, but increase the pace a little.
- Work for at least 15-30 minutes. Learn the first 15 lines by heart. Read everything else quickly.
- Repeat what you have learned. Add 15 more lines. Quickly read everything else within half an hour.
- Speak out everything you have learned by heart. Add the next 15 lines. Then work according to the principle of the previous days.
- Repeat 45 lines. Complete the remaining text. Repeat all phrases from memory for 30 minutes.
- Speak the entire memorized text from the tongue twisters by heart several times. The pace should be fast and the pronunciation should be clear. Don't forget about the correct placement of accents.

To edit some videos, we use
Today I remembered this interesting tongue twister and decided to write a post.
About 2 years ago, I came across a video by Svetlana Tulskaya, where she clearly and quickly pronounces a long tongue twister. As I later learned, this combination of more than 40 tongue twisters in one is called “Liguria”.
In the summer of 2013, I learned this tongue twister while I was practicing diction, but I also used the technique of memorizing texts to speed up memorization.
At the moment, this tongue twister has become quite popular and you can find videos of various TV presenters, as well as amateurs who have recorded the pronunciation of this long tongue twister on video.
Complete tongue twister “Liguria” with accents
Unfortunately, due to the popularity of the tongue twister, it is not so easy to find its full text now. There are often versions where some phrases are cut off or completely different words are written. Therefore, I decided to specifically post the full text of the tongue twister “Liguria” here.
In addition, I decided to add emphasis, because... Some words are questionable and many people make mistakes in them, including the presenters in the video.

Pay attention to the emphasis on “Yogotnikova” - that’s how it’s pronounced. From the word “tar” - one who produces tar. Also the word “sneaked”. It is in these words that mistakes are most often made.

How to remember the tongue twister "Liguria"
After I honed my diction with the help of this proverb, I came to the conclusion that the goal should not be to remember the tongue twister.
The main goal is to train clear diction.
During the training process, if you do this for a long time (for example, a month), and at least sometimes try to repeat the tongue twister without looking at the text, then it will be remembered by itself.
Firstly, stresses are memorized separately and it is advisable to do this first - before training. Go through the text, note for yourself words that are difficult in terms of stress, remember them using memorization techniques. For example, “mnemonic” or “test word”.
- The first step is to come up with an image with which we will test the word.
- “Tar” is easy to remember (emphasis on “Yo”), but most often they write “Tar”. I already wrote above how this word is formed and what its correct stress is.
- “crowned” - test word “r” A k", "cr A b", "cr A n"
- “rOtmistr” - test word “r” ABOUT t", "cr ABOUT T"
- The second step is to connect the images of the word and the test word. I can imagine the Lord, who opened his mouth and his jaw dropped to the ground. I can imagine how the girl tiptoed on the tap to the crayfish and the crab. (here I used 2 test words at once).
- The third step is to repeat. We scroll through the pictures several times in our imagination and remember the correct accents.
Secondly, to remember the text of the tongue twister itself, you will need a location system with at least 20 places.
Next, you can divide this tongue twister into the individual ones that it consists of and choose an image for each of them. Or you select into images those pieces of text that are difficult to remember and then hang everything up on the location.
Third, repeat the tongue twister from memory, going through the images placed in the locations in the previous step in your imagination. Repetition from memory is very important!
Liguria can give the following recommendations for training diction using tongue twisters:
- read it every day for a month 3 times a day
- read slowly until you can pronounce each word clearly
- pay attention to the endings of words, most often these are the ones we “chew”
Read the tongue twister, memorize the accents and develop your diction.
If you have any results or questions, let me know in the comments!
