It is the Alphabet r wich is harder to pronounce

@nogag8219 6 дней назад

I think all native russian teachers are crap. They are clueless on how to teach russian. How can you teach alphabets without using them in some words.

@renatoherren4217 2 дня назад

Useful is only its first name. (lame translation of a swiss saying) That was by far the best introduction to the russian alphabeth i ever found. 😎😎😎😎 You could also admit, that you stole some greek letters, like rho, phi and pi. 😜😜

I’ve been teaching myself mandarin Chinese for the past three years. At least Russian has an alphabet. Mandarin hanzi is terrifying.

@Ester_Krupova 2 месяца назад

"Hard" vowels: а, э, о, у, ы "Soft" vowels: я, е, ё, ю, и Voiced -> Voiceless consonants: Д -> Т В -> Ф Г -> К Б -> П Reduction rules: 1) Voiced consonant at the end of a word becomes voiceless 2) Voiced consonant followed by a voiceless consonants becomes voiceless 3) О sounds like "o" only when it's stressed, otherwise it sounds like "a" or "ə" 4) Е sounds like "ee" when it's unstressed

I was very surprised to see that the Russian language is very similar to Swedish. Most words and letters we pronounce very alike, and hard and easy vowels are very similar too. I’m really happy that it’s not going be a very hard and difficult journey in learning Russian as a Swedish Person!

@@ertugrulozturk5433 I’m from iraq (not kurd) and our accent has a lot from the Kurdish language. Yes, they have their own alphabet a little different to arabic alphabet. As an iraqi it’s easy to pronounce some stuff. Actually I’d say German & Russian remind me a lot of Kurdish.

Russian is one of the tougher languages for a native English speaker to learn. Thank you so much this is not only helped me learn the alphabet but how to pronounce and spell correctly in Russian! You take a difficult and abstract concept and simplifiy it in 20 minutes in such a way for anyone to understand (was pausing and writing notes for retention purposes) Like this was such a good video and I am so happy I found your channel. 😊

This is the best introductory lesson I've seen on the alphabet and it's pronounciation, anywhere on you tube. You cleared up some frustrating confusion for me in explaining how the letter e can effect the consonant before it. Thank you very much for such a well paced and logical progression of learning.
