Yes, thanks again for opening this thread, Sunny Poison. I see myself using it on a casual basis - as I basically intend to teach myself how to speak Russian, because that's how I learn best, and trying to make contacts with native Russian speakers (we have a very good Russian dept at the local university).
Sorry to be a pest, but today I would like to know whether there's any way for a foreigner like me to know where the stress falls in a word ie are there concrete rules or do you just have to learn by experience? Because the problem is for me that I know how to pronounce Russian if the stress marks are included over words, but if they aren't then I'm totally thrown. For example, I don't even know how to pronounce Yulia's and Lena's surnames - because I've never seen them written in Cyrillic with the stress marks.
So there you go. A simple question for you - How do I pronounce the Tatushkis' surnames?
