prostrel, I understand what U mean when say U don't want to pronaunce 'е' like 'и' in 'кажется'. Sometimes I myself look at the word and it seems to me that I want to pronaunce it like it's written. I do. Then again. And one more time. And as a result I always get what it should be like. It's 'и' there, I'm afraid Try to understand, U don't need to make it clear 'и'. But u can't leave it clear 'е' also. It's something between. And if U pronaunce it fast enough and with the right stress it turnes to 'и' no matter if U want it or not I tried to say 'e' but it just doesn't work. It seems I say 'e' but I hear 'и' clear enough. It works only if I pronaunce it very slow. But no russian would.
agan'k'i - that's the way to pronaunce this word. and Lena does it right. may be just not clear enough but it's always so with singing. sasha, soft sign can't be in transcription as it doesn't symbolize any sound. I didn't comment on the material U should know from our lessons, only things U weren't supposed to know. But check the whole thing again. U have enough time before the rest of the students posts theirs. I don't say U made many mistakes. U didn't. But even for ones who was right, it won't harm, right? Watch out ur soft signs ( ' ) and all this a/o and e/и thing. It would be also good to mark the stresses as u'll need the when do a record. And wait with making records of the 2nd exercise, U'll better do when have the 100% correct text in front of ur eyes. U'll have it in some days, I promise. |

Oh, yeah. I'm gonna add some information to give the work to ur brains again. First of all the stressed vocal is the clearest in the word. U can also make it a bit longer then any other vocal (as we don't have this long/short thing in russian, it won't change the sense but will point the stressed vocal better). Russians often do. All other vocals loose their cleareness with the destance from the stressed one.
One more thing. In combinations 'ого' and 'его', if they are the last letters of the word, 'г' becomes unvoiced. Don't ask me why. It's just so. :P It happens even with the word 'его' (his/him). Although these three letters are the first and actually only letters of this word, they are the last ones as well. So, 'г' turnes to 'в'. Now a question fo ya: what do U think this words sounds like? It's the material of previous lessons but I didn't explain the concrete situation with the way this first vocal should sound. Try to think. Assistents and slavics who has the same thing in ur native language plz stay silent. russkayatatu, heh... cool was right. Godd russian U have. With just a slight accent but even it disappears often And, join us at PD thread, plz! We still have some free lines left, don't we? Nice writing coolie, I understand what U mean in Bulgarian... hehe... But I can't say that having russian variant didn't help any bit P.S. LOL! Denial, I see something familar in ur signature... |

Кажицца акажицца прощи н’и знаком’ицца
Кто ис нас аткажицца вз’ат’ и успакоицца Д’эвaчк'и каг д’эвaчк'и, а патом лунат’ик’и Нaм’ира и стр'элaчк'и, шaкaлатк’и, фант’ик’и Gak! emboldening is a lot of work! I would guess that ‘him’ is pronounced Ivo? Yevo? or maybe yivo? it’s a question of which rules override which other ones, I suppose. also re: и and b1 my mistake. I thought they formed a yi & i pair…. Should have read the first lesson again.So there is no letter, strictly speaking, for yi (?) Edit: the same mistake |

ahhh - I have to admit, I must be a bad student 'cause I didnt understand where we are supposed to be putting the ' within the words.... so I just listened to the song, and put them where I thought they should be... hope I didnt get it too wrong...
Russian is waaaaaaaay harder than Bulgarian ours is like a simplified version well, here is mine: Каж*иц'ца акаж*иц'ца прош'е н'и знаком*иц'ца кто ис наc аткаж*иц'ца взиат' и успакоиц'ца девач'ки каг девач'ки, а патом лунат'ик'и намира и стрелач'ки, шакалат'ки, фан'ти'ки * where I put this * - I wasnt sure if the ' should be there - once I think it should once I think it shouldnt .....ahhhhh, I cant make up my mind |

The word "кто" is almost always pronounced as "xто", don't ask me why Also, the word "шoкoладки" is never pronounced with an "a" in the begining. the sound is somewhere in-betweeen ы and э so you can pronounce it as or шэкaлатки шыкaлатки - I guess it's an exception. Great job though |

Huh... coolie, PMed U with corrections.
Elf, хто is the Ukrainian Russian Any tv and radio dictor would say кто as this is the way this word should sound. Tho some russians ecpecially coming from province often say exactly how U did The word шоколатки... well... as this first 'o' is really far from the stressed 'a', it's not clear at all. So it's between 'a' and 'o' (may remind 'e' or 'и' as well... may be 'ы' but not very...) |

thanks for comments so, the ' is indeed for sign - so that's why I was getting confused - I usually only use it as ь so really if I had to write it like I think - it would be: Кажицца акажицца проше ни знакомицца кто ис наc аткажицца взиат' и успакоицца девачки каг девачки, а патом лунатики намира и стрелачки, шакалатки, фантики the цц I used because of the link sunnich provided of тся = цц and in a way it does sound like sound like кажецца or кажетца when I listen to it - but I dont know Quote:

I have to admit - writing like that was very hard for me - since I am really not used to using cyrillic letters like that - very unnatural to me |

oh, yeah... and those soft signs ( ' )... Elf, it's for U т sounds soft by default if it's followed by и. It just looks natural, yeah? But don't forget our students aren't native speakers, so they'll need these signs to help them with reading. So, they won't be thinking if something should sound soft or firm and just look at the sign and know: "yes, this consonant is soft" or "not. it should stay firm in this case". Get what I mean? What is useless for us (be frank, all this transcription thing can only confuse native speaker) is very important and helpful for those who's just learning. Agree?

This transcription is confusing for me too And I am not a native speaker, but we never did this because we had teachers who talked to us so we didn't have to read and figure out pronunciation on our own...and when you know the language, like you said, it is totally useless (+ confusing cause no one uses it so you have to translate from what you know to something no one uses...)
Maybe we can do just recordings (of all words, etc.) from now on? SP, I think it was a good idea and now it seems like everyone knows when consonants are soft and when vowels change from "и" to "ы", say...so we can all read approximately well...but now - recordings might be a better idea - do you think? Like, practice in reading out loud...because you don't ever have to do exercises like this to be able to speak/learn Russian Of course, people learn differently - if you can read and write correctly, that's all that's really important. |
