    I think the best way to explain to English speakers how to pronounce Щ would be not to repeat Sharp but to say - She. For me this exactly the way Щ is pronounced. The way Ы is pronounced very similar the way most of Americans pronounce Really in the first syllable. Overall the lesson is very good and the alphabet is very well explained.

    The technique to be used for the proper soft consonants is called palatalization, because in order to pronounce these sounds properly you need to push the middle part of your tongue closer to the palate. Look it up if my short explanation is not enough.

    You're correct. In those words the "е" does sound like an "и". It's called vowel reduction and if the "е" is unstressed it's basically pronounced as an "и". The same thing happens for unstressed "я".

    Акцент Ари ухо не режит. Я заметила несколько звуков:"Е" произносить надо мягче(с улыбкой выдохнуть), а то получается всегда как под'езд; "Щ"произносить надо как"Ш" с улыбкой; "Т" хорошо, а "ТЬ" с улыбкой. С улыбкой не значит весело-это так растянуть рот для извлечения звука. Скорее всего, будет сложно произнести мягкое "Р". Это будет не "ДРРР...", а что -то схожее с "РЭ". Шипящие звуки доработает, а свистящие все норм. Кстати, акцент убирают с помощью логопеда(даже такие ядреные акценты, как хохляцкий и молдавский). Актеры кино, если не хотят , чтобы их дублировали, занимаются с логопедом. Акцент-это ерунда. Грамматика важнее. Я заметила, что иностранцы как-то странно учат падежи. Русские учат не с предлогами, а со словами: нет, даю, любуюсь, вижу, говорю. И никаких проблем.
