Learn How to Read in Russian (Beginner Russian Pronunciation Practice)
Do you have troubles with reading in Russian?
This exercise will help you a lot and will take only 10 minutes of your time. I encourage you to practice it on your own whenever you have some free time.
👆 First, follow the video and repeat the syllables after me. After you're done, go back, mute the sound, and try to read the syllables on your own.
In Russian, consonants can be plain ("Hard") and palatalized ("Soft"). This concept doesn't really exist in other popular languages, such as English or Spanish. And the best way to adopt it, is to listen and repeat different types of syllables several times.

Today you’ll learn how to read simple Russian syllables. If you’re still not sure about how well you’re pronouncing some of the letters, it’s absolutely not a deal breaker, there’s no need to get stuck on the alphabet! With this exercise, you’ll actually learn Russian letters and sounds even better.

In this video, I’m reading Russian syllables in pairs, with hard and soft consonants, and you can repeat after me. If you are not sure, what hard and soft consonants mean, and why it’s better to learn Russian vowels in pairs, I strongly recommend you watch my two previous videos (links below).

Soft Дь, Ть, Ль, Рь are probably the hardest consonants for a foreigner to pronounce, but again, you’ll learn them! Sooner or a little later, when you start reading texts, so there’s no need to spend too much time trying to perfect them, or even more, getting upset if you can’t make them sound right just yet. You’ll get there, you just need some time for that. And practice!

When reading the syllables, remember that Russian vowels sound pretty defined, so don’t forget to open your mouth a little wider than you may be used to in your native language.

If it’s hard for you to pronounce these syllables now, just keep trying, and I promise, you will get to the point where it seems easy, sooner than you think!

0:00 - Intro
1:02 - Reading Exercise
7:06 - Ж, Ш, Ц - the consonants that are always hard
7:53 - Ч, Щ - the consonants that are always soft
8:33 - Syllables with several consonants in a row

You also want to practice reading syllables with several consonants in a row, like these:
вра - пра - дра - кра - нра - стра - здра

👆 If you can barely hear the difference between hard and soft consonants in Russian, don’t be too hard on yourself, keep in mind that it’s a new idea for a foreigner, and one has to get used to it. Through time and practice, you’ll get the idea better, just keep trying!
