I wish Duolingo taught vowel sounds THANK YOU

Ы is definitely the most foreign to me. I can get really close but I keep wanting to pronounce it as И.

Been learning Russian for a couple years and I keep coming back to this vid for the explanations on o and a, thanks a lot! Dont give up on ы guys, just be patient and you'll master eventually! Try to make the sound while imagining stabbing yourself in the guts in a seppuku ritual, and you'll get it:) Also, note that the first a and o sound is for when they're in the syllable right before the stressed syllable in a word! Otherwise they will have the second sound if they're not stressed. Молоко is a great example, where the last o is stressed. The first o is pronounced with [ə] and, because its directly in front of a stressed syllable, the second o is pronounced [ʌ]

Try my tip: pronounce the more familiar и, a sound that requires your tongue to be stretched to the sides so that the sides of the tongue touch the grinding teeth. Then, without releasing very much tension, narrow your tongue so that the sides of the tongue don't touch anything, but the tongue is still not very far back as in у.

I think you should try to pronounce the "oo" sound (as in foot) and then try to pronounce "g" (as in goat) but don't say it all the way.

ы is the most difficult, it's pretty hard to achieve this pronunciation for me

Maybe it's just me, but I think it's quite the i vowel from words like 'this'.

Would be VERY helpful if the Cyrillic letter was shown prominently, so we could associate the sound with the letter and not just the phonetic sign as we listen. GREAT explanation though!!😻

I would like to compliment you on how you would say the vowels so slowly and how you would say it multiple times so you could get no understand

I thought the unstressed O sounded exactly the same as A, and that A was always pronounced the same way but apparently not

What is the difference between all the 'a' sounds? Like the O looking A and the A looking A? Is there even a difference?

so, I can pronounce them all without struggles.. but when do I know when to use them?

"shch" is hard to differentiate from a simple "sh" for me

Around 7:00, I don't hear any difference in the "rustle" sound and the "about" sound.

The "Soft" vowel sounds are a blend of the English "y" sound and the "hard" Russian vowel sounds, except for the sounds of the "o" and the "jo" which are a little different. Am I close? The first two unstressed vowel sounds don't sound much different to the Russian hard stressed "a" sound. Close, but "no Cigar"? "No cigar" means "not exactly" in American.

Aspects of this video are good but it progressed way to quickly. Also the diagram of the mouth and the articulation points, its not even clearly explained. Is there some kind of explanation of what that diagram means?

For me ы was definitely the hardest.

Hanna Jenkins. Hello! I am an Indian. I happened to see your there-year old comment about the pronunciation of Russian hard " i ". It's true. I don't know whether you are continuing with Russian. Still, I wanted to suggest a way out for hard " i " problem. Please keep a pencil horizontally between your lips and try to pronounce any single syllable word with hard " i ". The pencil naturally obstructs the tounge and it's middle part is raised back producing the sound of hard " i ". After 4 or 5 times remove the pencil and try without it. Anyone can get the required sound. Wish you good health and success. Greetings from India!

+Homura Akemi soft vowels does not exist) there are vowels, which indicate the preceding consonant soft) so, soft cons. are followed by these vowels or the soft sign)) remaining cons. are hard)

A lot of the Russian-English vowels that you claimed to be "indentical" actually aren't identical, only similar.

Well no surprise if I say the ы sound is the most difficult. In my language, French, there is nothing similar, as the opposite as the other vowels :)

Where is the next video, "Russian Consonant Sounds Pt.1"?

Why in Lesson 3 is the vowel "e" pointed the wrong way like a "3" e.g. 3to, because that letter has a "ze" sound?

Hello Linda Alvarez-Thull, In accordance with Russian pronunciation rules, [o] in the unstressed position should be pronounced as [a], and in stressed position as [o]. Team RussianPod101.com

Вообще-то у нас около 20 гласных оО. А всего звуков около 60 (по некоторым подсчетам, даже 70 оО). А теперь приятная новость иностранцам: на слух русские распознают от силы 50 звуков, остальное - результат беглой устной речи. Но, пытливый слух при случае сможет услышать акцент)

This video is completely misleading and I don't advise anyone on following anything it states, most notoriously that the "soft indicating" vowels are different sounds - they aren't, they stand for the same sound and when following a consonant, they only define the sound of that consonant which in return may or may not change the vowel's sound slightly. The [j] is only there when no consonant is preceding them, as is evident from the video.

I think you have it wrong at having the same ii vowel in деребо and язык
