Hard and Soft Consonants in Russian

A couple helpful pronunciation videos on the Russian Grammar YouTube channel created by Dr. Curtis Ford via the University of South Carolina. The first of these videos focuses on hard and soft consonants in Russian, and the second continues with using the hard and soft signs. If you'd like some more practice with pronunciation check out the Phonetics pages at Learn Russian by RT.



"A brief introduction to hard and soft consonants in Russian: how to pronounce them, and how they're spelled."



"This tutorial gives more detail on use of the letters ь and ъ - the soft and hard signs - in Russian. To get the most of this video, be sure to watch our tutorial on the basics of hard and soft consonants."

Dr. Ford has a handful of useful grammar videos on that channel. Definitely worth subscribing to for a new learner.

I talked my mother into letting me take ballet lessons for a little while. But I wasn’t graceful and my ballet teacher didn’t have very liberal thoughts on teaching children. If you sucked, she let you know. But, she couldn’t ever accuse me of not enjoying dancing. All my favorite songs are either on soundtracks, or are great story like “Desperado” by the Eagles. Listing thirteen favorites might be the subject of another Thursday Thirteen. Some of the movie songs I’ve listened to while typing today: Da Funk by Daft Punk on The Saint soundtrack and #1 Crush by Mundy on the Romeo & Juliet soundtrack. Writing. I can get lost in writing. I love creating stories and characters. Apparently e
