Inspired by an email by listener Kathy and mentioned in the last lesson, here is the short rhyme that Hungarians use to practice rolling their “r” sound:

Répa, retek, mogyoró,

korán reggel ritkán rikkant a rigó.

Carrot, radish, hazelnut,

The blackbird rarely chirps in the early morning.

Although the version Kathy mentioned was slightly different:

Répa, retek, mogyoró,

mind a három nagyon jó.

Carrot, radish, hazelnut,

All three are delicious.

Have a listen to Lesson 5 for the correct pronunciation of these two rhymes!
