How to pronounce Russian Words?

Hey russians, do you find it difficult to pronounce the R's in some russian words?

  • I notice the russian language has a lot of awkward sounds in it, do any russian speakers sometimes find it hard to roll your R's or Р's in certain words?

  • Answer:

    No, nothing difficult. But as in some American films try to portray the Russian language, highlighting the "R" where necessary and where not necessary, it is not true. Generally, I think that a solid "R" attached to masculinity and expression language. Look like Pushkin's poem "A Winter evening" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gb21rxNS-dQ From 00:16 recites original Russian, from 00:40 English translation (unfortunately I can not evaluate the merits of the translation). And then in Russian, in the performance of Hvorostovsky. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZptQweV0hs Unfortunately I have not found a successful declamation of the poem:( Note the use of alliteration [r]–[r’] Pushkin reception, which gives the Russian original of a particular sound more expressive. Thereby literally visualized storm, gusts and howling winds, blizzards

The sounds are not awkward to Russians. They're only awkward to you, because it's not your native language.

No it's not hard, it's just our language after all... p.s. how easy do you pronounce the word 'visualization'? I nearly broke my tongue )))

I don't notice a difference. Sometimes the Rs are a bit harsh sounding e.g. tigr (тигр) but I wouldn't say it's difficult to pronounce.

I Don't Eat Vodka

I'd break my tongue when I saying the English words ..:) And sounds the English language is not harmonious .. You speak sounds like with water in mouthful ..

Noa

They wouldn't find it difficult to speak their own language. I'm an Englishman and I have no idea how people in Russia and Spain roll their 'Rs' so much.
