The concept of hardness and softness is crucial in mastering your Russian pronunciation.

Here are the words I used today:

МАТЬ – МЯТЬ

УГОЛ – УГОЛЬ

МАТ – МАТЬ

Try to practice with English 'moot' and 'mute' or 'lip' and 'leap'.
Also, pay attention to he difference between И and Ы.

In today's episode, you will hear how to pronounce Russian sound Й (И краткое).

There can be three positions of the letter Й.

1. Before a vowel, it is pronounced as [y] in words like 'yogurt' and 'yet'.
2. After a vowel, it sounds like [y] in 'boy' or 'toy'.
3. Between two vowels, it is like [y] in the word 'coyote'.

Listen and repeat:

ТАЙ

ПОЙ

ЙОГА

ЙОТА

БОЙКОТ

КОЙОТ

И [ee] – Russian И is one of the so-called soft vowels (we will talk about them in the next lessons). It is shorter than the sound in the words 'people' and 'feet'. Try to make a short and long И sound. It is important to understand the position of your tongue. This will help you later when we speak about the soft consonants.

Ы [ih] – Russian Ы is unique. There is no such sound in English. I will teach how to pronounce it in several ways (watch the video).

Ы, ПЫ, БЫ, МЫ, ВЫ, ФЫ, ГЫ, ДЫ, НЫ, СЫ, ЗЫ, ТЫ, КЫ;

ЫП, ЫБ, ЫМ, ЫВ, ЫФ, ЫГ, ЫД, ЫН, ЫС, ЫЗ, ЫТ, ЫК.
