- This is the first of a multi-part series on Russian pronunciation. The goal is to get familiar with the sounds of Russian and the IPA symbols. You'll then be able to learn them faster, either through your own studies or through my pronunciation trainers. More links below:

Here are the “problem words” in Russian, where the way it is spelt is *not* the way it is pronounced. Because I couldn’t find this list anywhere else, I decided to put it together myself. I hope it’s helpful.
*Silent consonants:*
здра́в̷ствуйте ~ hello
чу́в̷ство ~ feeling
звёзд̷ный ~ starry
ланд̷ша́фт ~ landscape
по́зд̷но ~ late
пра́зд̷ник ~ festival
се́рд̷це ~ heart
со́л̷нце ~ sun
гру́ст̷ный ~ sad
изве́ст̷ный ~ well known
ле́ст̷ный ~ flattering
ме́ст̷ный ~ local
окре́ст̷ность ~ vicinity
ча́ст̷ный ~ private
счаст̷ли́вый ~ happy
*Where ч sounds like ш :*
чⷲто ~ what?, that
чⷲто́бы ~ in order to
коне́чⷲно ~ of course
наро́чⷲно ~ on purpose
оче́чⷲник ~ spectacle case
пра́чечⷲная ~ laundry
ску́чⷲно ~ boring
яи́чⷲница ~ fried eggs
Ильи́ничⷲна ~ Ilinichna
Са́ввичⷲна ~ Savvichna
Ники́тичⷲна ~ Nikitichna
** бу́лочⷲная ~ bakery
** моло́чⷲная ~ dairy
** (The pronunciation of these words may vary depending on region.)
*Where г sounds like х :*
лёгⷯкий ~ light, easy
ле́гⷯче ~ easier
мя́гⷯкий ~ soft
мя́гⷯче ~ softer
бухгⷯа́лтер ~ book keeper
Богⷯ ~ God (only in the nominative)
*Where г sounds like в :*
сегⷡо́дня ~ today
егⷡо́ ~ accusative / genitive of он / оно́
Word final ~егⷡо / ~огⷡо
but *NOT* with мно́го and its derivatives
(немно́го, etc...)
And that’s it!
If there are any other irregular words where spelling and pronunciation don’t match, I haven’t seen them anywhere. If they exist, they are probably very obscure and specialized vocabulary you will never see in your life.
Russell Curtis amazing comment
Thanks, it is really underrated comment
За всю жизнь ни разу не слышала вот это: оче́чⷲник.
Обычно говорят "Футляр для очков"
Может будет интересно, но на Дальнем Востоке РФ из всех моих знакомых эти слова с буквой Ш не говорит вообще никто:
пра́чечⷲная ~ laundry
ску́чⷲно ~ boring
Ильи́ничⷲна ~ Ilinichna
Са́ввичⷲна ~ Savvichna
Ники́тичⷲна ~ Nikitichna
бу́лочⷲная ~ bakery
моло́чⷲная ~ dairy
Может, в Москве говорят, у нас нет)
Fray dedel Yes, I doubt anyone in modern times will use the word - очечник - unless they are interested in historical cosplay.
I should have added that extra information about булочная and молочная. The pronunciation can vary depending on which region you visit and who you are speaking with. Thank you.
@@Barsik-M в литературном языке л в солнце никогда не произносится. Иногда говорящему может казаться, что он что-то произносит, помня форму написания, но это самообман.
I find it strange that I was like hypnotized to view most of this video, considering I'm native Russian speaker myself :) Good video, nice sir!
It's so easy when your language uses the Cyrillic alphabet. 😁
I wish you luck! ✨
I've never understood retroflex articulation till this video, so thank you, all the languages will be mine!!
Happy to help! 😀
Great video! I wanted to point out that the russian "r" is actually articulated behind the alveolar ridge (postalveolar trill). You described the alveolar trill that is found in languages like Spanish, Italian and Portuguese. You can check out the Wikipedia article "Voiced dental, alveolar and postalveolar trills".
Yes, Estela I noticed it. You're correct
Thank you very much for making this video, though, as a matter of fact I am a native German speaker and I have learned Russian since a bit over a year now, it gave me some great and interesting facts.
Good video. It's just frustrating that the images and words go too quickly, you can't even read the word at the same time as she speaks so you could get a little more sense of how are the sounds while reading. You have to read the word before and then listen to her as the next word is already appearing.
Other than that, it's a really good video. Thank you.
agreed, but that's where .75 or even .5 speed comes in handy
RUclips consumers see it this way: if the video is too long, they won't click it. Everybody wants something to be fast and accurate, but mainly fast. That's why he split the videos in 3 parts also.
I just play pause if I need.
What are you talking about? Don’t you have a pause function?
受益匪浅. I love you guys!!!!!!!
As I heard Russian people pronounce all plosive consonant ( p t k ), they always pronounce unaspirated like word stop, spin, scar ,just only sometime when they palatalize those plosive consonant will sometime become less aspirated like when you heard French and Italian people pronounce P T K , best way to get use to with unaspirated plosive sound you have to listen Indian people talking because they're good at all plosive sound especially P T C(Palatal C) K they can pronounce Unaspirated ,Aspirated ,Voiced Unaspirated and Voiced Aspirated sound apply to 5 position Velar, Palate, Retroflex, Dental , Labial correctly and clearly
Letter C in Cyrillic is Actually Greek hand writing for Sigma letter in some Greek Era Because Coptic language Also use same form of this Sigma like Cyrillic which actually is Sigma letter in handwriting form and it's write in small O letter but many time it's not become circular and the line are not join together so finally it become look like C letter in Latin but both Latin C and Cyrillic C has no connection with Each other
but I just know Russian language also have a velar fricative sound too because I never heard Russian people pronounce that sound before
BTW Thanks for your video :)
The "ш" in Russian sounded exactly like the "s" in Southern Vietnamese
револьвЕр, not ревОльвер.
she probably *was* a native speaker, but then moved to another country and lived there for a significant period of time. The native speaker will never make this kind of mistake
ревОльвер звучит конечно интересно, но на транскрипции у вас револьвЕр
(Liliya messed up the pronunciation of revolver for some reason)
This is such a great and clear video. Thank you so much!!
Extremely helpful, thanks so much!
palatals and fricatives and palatalized fricatives, oh my!
thanks a lot for this material
We're glad you find it useful!
It would be very useful if it were much slower!!
This is amazing :)
Не "рево́львер" а "револьве́р"
Thank you for the Video sir !! 🥰
We're glad you liked the video!
when I practice consents and vovel, i can feel where tongue's tip is it.
but i cant feel where back part of tongue(near throat) is it.
How to do practice?
Watch videos or movies in the target language. Or listen to the songs and sing along. If it sounds like a native says it, does it really matter where the back of your tongue is? )
@@stanjohnson5868 YES
hey, pay attention to the duration of the words on screen. nonetheless, it was a great video! :)
From the video I can't tell the difference between english L as in "el" and russian hard L. They sound just the same.
Ошибка. на 9минуте - не щи, а ши
Are all consonants in a cluster palatalised by a following soft vowel? For example are both b sounds in biblyia soft?
hermoso
!
🙌
Where can I find the IPA of any word?
Wiktionary
Way too fast with the pictures and examples
აბა რუსულის ტესტი ვის აქო💪💪💪
I'm only here so I can sing soviet memes.
We are on the same team
way too fast. i'm gonna have to watch this eight times.
4:00 out of sync
Too much Too fast But my fault. Not yours! I need to get a bit more fluent in Russian before practising this I think.
We dont have this sound on 11:21, this is sound from Ukrainian language and it is not Russian. Господин is pronounced like Gospodin and Бог like Boh. The woman hasnt got perfect pronounciation, she has English accent.
I don't quite agree. This sound is valid for the words ага and ого. It also appears when you say о, Господи, especially in a quite irritated manner. This sound is a legitimate part of russian phonology as it appears in speech. Also, there is an important remark--the sound ɣ is more typical for the south of Russia.
We've a sound [γ] in russian language too. Except the words "ага" and maybe "бог" it's a positional variant of [x]: "мох зелёный" - [moγ z'il'ony] , "их бы" - [iγ by], "сдох, гад" - [zdoγ gat]
Compare мох и мог. Its meaning sensetive. No one could blame you for both Бо[г] и Бо[х].
Just Southern dialects of Russian
