Russian for Serious Beginners | Lesson 1 - The Alphabet & Pronunciation

via Skillshare

Overview

In this class, you will learn the Russian alphabet, and most importantly, will do lots of practice, pronouncing the sounds like a real Russian!

We will take a look at all the letters of the Russian alphabet and what sounds they make and when. You will learn why words in Russian sound different than how they are written and how to avoid the most common mistakes that beginners make.

We will discuss what is that thing that makes the Russian accent so recognizable and how you can use it to your advantage to sound like a true Russian speaker.

This is Lesson 1 from my new Russian for Serious Beginners course. Stay tuned every week for a new lesson & learn Russian with me!

All the best,

Kate
