Hi everyone. Welcome to The Ultimate Russian Pronunciation Guide.

In this series, you'll master Russian  pronunciation. Proper pronunciation is essential in Russian,

and in this series, you'll learn it in a fast, comprehensive, and easy way.

In this first lesson, you'll learn about the  building blocks of the Russian  pronunciation system that will help you in  future lessons.

The Russian alphabetical writing system  is derived from the Cyrillic script, which is  one of the most commonly used writing  systems in the world.

The Russian alphabet is made up of 33 letters, consisting of 21  consonants, 10 vowels, and two extra letters which act as modifiers.

But be careful not to fall into a very common trap.

As you're learning to speak correctly, you  shouldn't concern yourself with all the letters. That's right -- forget them!

You care about the sounds of Russian  and here they are.

There are 37 consonant sounds and 13 vowel sounds. Each symbol that you see here represents

a single sound determined by the IPA,  which is a standardized way to represent  sounds without the baggage that's  usually involved with traditional letters.

By using all of these sounds, you can  form every single word in Russian.

Have you noticed how most consonant sounds in Russian exist in pairs?

In each pair, there is the original  pronunciation of the consonant sound...

and that same sound, but with an added Y sound.

Nearly all consonant sounds in Russian  exist in this kind of pairing.

So if you know how to pronounce the  original sound, it's quite easy to figure out  its counterpart, simply by adding an  additional Y sound.

Still seem complicated? Well how about this.

Of the 37 consonant sounds in Russian, you already know 15 of the original sounds.

That's right, if you're a native English speaker, then you already make these sounds every day!

You can also ignore 10 of the vowel  sounds for the very same reason.

With just a tiny bit of effort and creativity,  you could effectively ignore 14 more  consonant sounds, simply by adding a Y  sound to the ones that you already know.

The only thing standing between you and  Perfect Russian Pronunciation is 8 new  consonant sounds and 3 new vowel  sounds. You can handle that!

Now let me introduce Katya, who will be helping you to master these new sounds.

"Привет, меня зовут Катя"  Katya will be giving you native pronunciation

examples for you to imitate. But for this first lesson, just sit back and listen to the unique sounds of Russian.

In the next lesson, we'll look at the top 5  pronunciation mistakes Russian learners make. You'll want to make sure not to fall  into these common traps.

After that, we'll begin going through the  vowels and consonants of Russian. This  is your chance to learn how to correctly  say all of the words you just heard.

We'll finish up the series by covering some special topics that will really make your Russian sound natural!

To close this lesson, here's a question for you.

Why is it important to spend time on learning proper pronunciation, even if you're already an advanced speaker?

The answer... You will be understood, and  this will help you build more confidence  as you communicate in Russian.

For beginners, you're creating a strong foundation to build on. And for more

advanced students, this is your chance to improve your accent and lose any bad habits you may have picked up.
