Imagine clicking on this video as your first Russian lesson and seeing how to say hello and giving up instantly

pronunciation got sooo much easier after i took a phonetics class. the way words are pronounced is actually pretty formulaic! once you know where the stress in the word is, you can pretty much always know how to pronounce it. highly recommend looking into russian phonetics if you're struggling with or want to improve your pronunciation!

Thanks! I love zdraastvoetje (Dutch way of phonetic writing) as word, it was my first Russian word. The other ones: thank you so much for showing. It is how I do it: breaking down the words first. For Dutch people not so hard to pronounce btw. We have words with 4 consonants in a row as well

I recently got a degree in English, and now I'm learning Russian so watching your videos for me is like having a double lesson

Chechen: Allow me to introduce myself

Зачем я это смотрю, я ж русская 😂😂😂😅

In some south Slavic and west Slavic languages, there are words that are written without any vowel at all, but normally the R sound is pronounced as if it were the vowel.

Для изучения языка важна хорошая коммуникабельность (communication skills). Если коммуникабельность трудно произнести - меняем это слово на синоним "навыки общения". Для изучения языка важны хорошие навыки общения.

Жизнеспособность this is my fav russian word

In Russian, the consonants and vowels have a hard or soft sound. In English, they have many sounds depending on the letter they precede or follow, and of course with exceptions.

I'm Brazilian so, apart of the ы sound, almost every russian letter has a corresponding in brazilian portuguese :)

The thing that screwed with my mind was the “O” at the end of certain words makes the “Ah” sound even though it”s at the end of a word like ctydentko “Student” (female gender) masculine would just be ctydent.or “Milk” malako. Sorry no Cyrillic keyboard on my IPod.

I already knew Здраствуйте, к сожалению and Днём but for some reason I actually find Достопримечательность pretty easy to pronounce!

I appreciate you putting yourself in our shoes to see how we may get tripped up with certain pronunciations! 🙌🏾 ⚡️

Как насчёт слова с 4 согласными подряд? КоНСТРуктор. ГаНГСТер. Тут нужно немного практики 😃

Nobody: Honda Civic drivers at 3am: ДНЁМ

For me, it seems like an easy way to pronounce "всплыть" is to just combine the "v" sound with the English word "split." What do you guys think? Helpful, or no? 🤔🤔🤔🤔

One of the first hard to pronounce words i encountered in my Russian course was the word Парикмахерская - Barbershop haha

Makes it more difficult but also more poetic imo, I love this language

Спасибо большое Фёдор! I was struggling with sound of днём, but I didn't realize it was so easy.

That was a hard word for me! The formal hello. I can say it with ease now. Another one was Dabropa zalvit welcome.

Sounds like the cases like днём and дня do what's called glottalisation. British English (at least Cockney) does T-glottalisation with "butter" being pronounced "bu'er", the t sound being replaced with that throat sound. We also tend to do it before syllable final p, t or k, so "sit" might be "si't"

In my russian class we learned путешествовать, and возвращение, which were two of the hardest

когда ты польский эти слова просты

No the one I am having Problems with is "Where is the Train Station?" OMG!! 😁

2:07 Haha the word is so long you accidentally called it a "sentence" 🤣

Dla Polaka to bardzo łatwe. Współczuję nie będącym Słowianami. Pozdrawiam Cię Fiodor.

Счастье was my first word I understood in Russian.

акустический acoustic, acoustical, *sonic* aural, phonic

Достопримечательности!!

I had already watched the video you made with your wife with some of the hardest words to pronounce so now im prepared 😂

Russian is it easy? Yessssss!! How do you say hi? R- Здравствуйте

Ты забыл "превысокомногорассмотрительствующий". Ору

My native language isn't english and i dont have a western tongue so some russian words are not to hard to pronounce

Будет видео по «бы»? Бывает сложно формировать предложения без частого использования этой частицы, хотелось БЫ узнать как такое избежать.

For здравствуйте (formal 'hello'), it can be helpful to say "is draw" in english, and focus on the middle part. Of course when we say "is" in english, it's pronounced 'iz' so 'is draw' becomes 'iz draw', so "iZDRAw". Then give the "R" a trill, and you've got it. For Ы, well, sort of similar to a combination of "ee (long E)" and "ooo" in english, or "И" and "У" in russian, but voiced at the same time. Watch "Операция Ы" (Operation Y) on KZfaq for lots of examples of "Ы" in isolation. Interestingly, some of the actors seem to emphasize the "И" more than the "У" sound, and vice versa. Hope some of that helped.

Literally search for this after trying and failing to pronojnce здравствуйте

Here while it still says “no views“ ayyyeee

one hard phrase to say is On break "на перерыве" the double rolled R

Ahaha, I'm disappointed you didn't mention "трудновыговариваемые" - "difficult to pronounce"

Please make a vídeo “the easiest Russian words to pronounce” :-)

звуковой - sonic.

Здравствуйте was my 1st Russian word and I never knew that в was silent. Спасибо большое. Regards from Louisiana.

Learning Russian and I’m so glad hello was on here

oooooh, when pimsleur put к сожалению riiiight in the beginning -_____- but pronouncing it was soooo much easier later on! :D

I can't roll my "R's" x.x

удовлетворительно 🤣

So far, I’ve stumbled the hardest with «для» and «нравится». Для sounds like I have something unpleasantly sticky in my mouth and rolling my tongue following an N sound is mega difficult 🤯

Luckly germans are not arfaid of consonants :) But as a matter of fact, these words are really hard to say. But its interesting to try. Thank you thats a great video !!!!

he forgot to mention "человеконенавистничество" (misanthropy)

Until a hundred notice - достопримечательность.

How do I know if the word is perfective or imperfective?

You don't have to say Zdravstvuyte, you can say drasti instead ,the short form.

The third tricky thing about "серебряный" is that "я" is usually (but not always) refuced to [и] sound.

Нужно было добавить слово "защищающихся"

When you are a wee bit familiar with the Cyrillic alphabet and Russian words, a word like достопримечательность is not so hard to pronounce. At least not for a Dutch native, like me. The word looks scary in the beginning, because it is such a long word, but when you break it up into small pieces, you get it rather quickly. To me the combination of sounds in шьс, like eg занимаешься, is much much harder to grasp. It took me a lot of practise time. Since I know that I am not a very unique individual, I assume that many others will have issues pronouncing these sounds too. Занимаешься looks much less impressive than достопримечательность, but it is a lot harder!

although my native language is also slavic, for some reason I have trouble pronouncing the word деревянный.

And I thought достопримечательности was hard🙄

The 2nd and the 3rd word i actually find easier to pronounce than the 1st one

Рентгенаэлектрокардиографические is the easiest in my opinion

Полезно!

Longest word in Korean 청자양인각연당초상감모란문은구대접

These words are so easy for me to pronounce

So this is why I've been having such trouble with днём...turns out I'm making it harder than it needs to be. Hardest thing for me: ля combination. I can never seem to make it sound right.

2nd word be- 💀

For Russian sayng this wery easy, an automative

@2:07 might as well be a sentence lol

Fun video, you break them down really clearly but I wish you had define them all. Пока!

I wonder what is so hard about these words 🤔🙃Now I think you should have included this one= СУМАСШЕДШАЯ. btw I love your videos!

Hi greetings from Costa Rica, let me say I will love to speak russian.

Mate the letter “ы” is also exist in turkish language as the form on “ı” for your knowledge.

So the word Dnem... You're telling me don't fully pronounce the d and just half way and say the full word... That's not hard. Also, what do you suggest I do to build vocabulary... I know how to spell Russian and Bulgarian words in English now...I just need to learn the actual words...Do you suggest reading children books or something?

I'm a first time visitor, i noticed you dont translate the last couple of words, like 2nd half.. 😬 Nevertheless sounds interesting lol

weird, i didn't have any trouble prouncing the words oh yeah, i'm already fluent in russian i am just here to brush up as i am fluent with how much i know, i don't know the language 100% learning new words and fixing up my grammar

Did we get all the English translations for these words? Would you please write the word in Russian with the English meaning?

С удовольствием and двухтысячного are other really hard ones for me!

I really wanna join the russian camp but I am busy until the 25th of january...😢

Good that my first language is german so I have no problem rolling the r‘s :)

So far the hardest word for me is "unfortunately" К сожалению -- The K+S+ozh is a tongue twister :/

It does look like a sentece right? :v

Arabs usually can pronounce any short word, Even if it has hard sounds!

Give meanings of all words please.

Is the "дн" in Днём pronounced the same in the other declensions? (e.g. дня, дней, дни, и тд.)

всплыть emerge усовершенствовать improve распространяется distribute, spread out

К счастью, я уже учил чешский так для меня, эти слова - без проблем 🙃

i find it easy to pronounce!! but im suffering with learning Russian vocab and verbs even tho been in Russia for 2 yrs \so far what could u suggest ???????/

is it right to say that ы is similar to the u in salut (french)?

part 2

Для меня самым трудным словом произносить являлось «предпразднство» - 6 согласных подряд, боже мой 😂. К тому же, смешно что теперь молодёжь вместо «здравствуйте» говорит «здрасьте»

This is actually not a problem if your native language is another Slavic language

What about "солнце" I think its a bit hard for me in the middle

Is similar to Bulgarian

I was doing alright until 5:29. Blyat … tbl yazik eto ochen trudno. Mne nyet nvrastiva.

Now "brzęczyszczykiewicz" feels lame

Why russian alphabet doesn't had "Ha" or "H", And how can i translate "John" for russian letter?

Хмм, Ты че забыл а не объяснил что значит этих слов,?) 💔

Пожалуйста,напишите по английски потому что я не понимаю

Здоровье? You didn’t explain what the word means. I’m guessing it’s “your health”??

What about для? i hate that word haha
