    The greatest part about getting soft and hard sounds right I noticed in your soft and hard "L" video is that the words are using the soft and hard consonants for a reason. So when you use the right one odds are good the word becomes a lot more comfortable to pronounce. The hard "L" before a ы was a great example for me here that made the realisation hit. It is at least for me so much easier to get to the ы from a soft "L" because the right tongue position kind of follows naturally from releasing the soft one, whereas with the hard L you gotta pull it so far back first it feels like you have to swallow your own tongue.

    For me (native French), when you start both pronunciations at 4:56, it's like you're adding a second letter (é) to the first. And that helps me a lot because when Russian teachers talked to me about soft or hard, it didn't mean anything to me. But with your examples it will help me a lot.

    I can manage to say the sounds properly while speaking single words, or concentrating on a word in a sentence. I think the hardest part is remembering to practice this with all the words in sentences, especially while trying to flow along. Someday,...it'll feel natural.

    Love listening to you teach. My wife is Russian and laughs at my enunciation. But I just go with it. I figure most will understand what I am saying despite my inability to enunciate properly, however, with this lesson - that may be dangerous!! I need to work harder on the hard v soft.

    It must be repeated that "hard" or "soft" don't mean much to native speakers of other languages! That's why it seems so difficult to teach -- to native Russian speakers with no training in language. The immediately understandable description is *palatalized vs *"non-palatalized" (or velar in some cases.)

    This is really helpful, and also the video on л and ль; but I'm wondering, Are all the soft consonants pronounced with the tongue further back like with the ль in your л & ль video? I had been trying to make ть with the tongue against the teeth. The diagrams are helpful. 🤔

    Question: if they can change the meaning, why not consider hard and soft versions as separate letters?

  • @RealRussianClub

    @RealRussianClub

    8 ай бұрын

    they don’t ALWAYS change meaning:) it’s the same letters, they just sound differently. You don’t call U 5 different letters, right? Even though it sounds completely differently in different works like “but”, “duke”, etc.

    Just came across your videos. I watched lesson 1. Yet to finish lesson 2. I may be jumping ahead but nobody seems to want to explain in what context you pronounce the Russian "O" as "O" but sometimes pronounce it "A". e.g. RUSSIA in Cyrillic letters. Can't seem to turn my keyboard to Cyrillic i would write Russia in Cyrillic. Otherwise, interesting videos.
