If you’re already familiar with the Russian alphabet, I believe these 2 Russian letters confuse you. We call them soft sign (ь) and hard sign (ъ). Do we really need them, if they don’t even have a sound? Unfortunately, yes. Let’s learn today how to pronounce Russian words with soft and hard signs!
Time codes:
00:00 - Introduction
01:03 - The 1st function of a soft sign
01:45 - How to pronounce Russian hard consonants

04:30 - Practice
05:50 - The 2nd function of a soft sign
08:05 - One function of a hard sign
09:31 - Practice

Wow
Thank you very much Lina !!! Very important lesson.
You are welcome!
Very good lesson. Not really sure about the pitch though. Is it really higher? When I speak it's the same pitch
Thank you very much Lina!
At 5:00, you say that we will never see ж, ш, ц with a soft sign but I see words ending in -шь all the time, such as the noun мышь, and all the ты forms of verbs (ты видишь, ты любишь, ...). Could you explain this please? Is it just some historical spelling?
Yes, you’re actually right, I forgot about this completely. My bad!
But what happens here and what I meant to say is that the pronunciation of the sound ш doesn’t change. Ь doesn’t make it softer because it’s impossible. Ш / шь will sound exactly the same.
@@LinasLessons Thank you Lina! So is -шь some historical spelling? I know that in 1917-18 there was a big spelling reform, notably the redundant -ъ was removed from all word endings.
@VerticalBlank yes, we have different rules for this spelling. For instance, we always write the soft sign at the end of verbs, but in similar situation for pronouns (наш, ваш) we don’t write it 😊
@@LinasLessons Thank you Lina! I am English and our spelling rules are much more irrational.
Anyway, my Latvian-Russian girlfriend says that omitting the soft sign at the end of ты forms of verbs is a sign of bad education.
@@VerticalBlank that’s true!
I guess I need practice, this seems a little difficult.
Sure, everything needs practice!
