=== Introduction to Russian Pronunciation === | |||
Now that we are familiar with the Russian alphabet, let's move on to the basic pronunciation rules of the Russian language. Russian pronunciation can be quite different from English, but with some guidance, you'll be able to master it. | |||
==== Vowels ==== | |||
Russian has 10 vowel sounds, and they can be categorized into two groups: hard and soft vowels. Hard vowels are pronounced with a stronger sound, while soft vowels have a softer sound. | |||
Here are the Russian vowels and their pronunciation: | |||
* А [a] - like the "a" in "car" | |||
* О [o] - like the "o" in "orange" | |||
* У [oo] - like the "oo" in "boot" | |||

* Е [ye] - like the "ye" in "yes" | |||
* И [ee] - like the "ee" in "meet" | |||
It's important to note that the pronunciation of vowels in Russian can be influenced by the surrounding consonants. We will explore this further in the upcoming lessons. | |||
==== Consonants ==== | |||
Russian consonants may differ in pronunciation compared to English. Some consonants have similar sounds, while others may be completely new to you. Let's take a look at the Russian consonants and their pronunciation: | |||
* Б [b] - like the "b" in "boy" | |||
