Task № 1.

This is very important to record yourself as you will be able to compare your initial result with your progress.
Some important notes about this course
Please, note that this is not a traditional course of Russian pronunciation. In this course, I am using unconventional but extremely effective techniques to improve your Russian pronunciation.

See you in the course!
Please, remember that when the letter Е stands in the end of the word, it will be pronounced more like Й'Э or 'Э, but not like И (even if it is not stressed). This mostly concerns nouns that indicate a place.
Eх.: В Ира́не [вырАн'э], в ба́нке [вбАнк'э], в до́ме [вдОм'э].
Dear friends,
Welcome to Hack Your Russian Pronunciation — a unique and practical Russian pronunciation course designed to help you sound natural, understand spoken Russian better, and finally feel confident speaking with native speakers.
This is not another dry phonetics course filled with complicated linguistic theory. Instead, this course combines modern pronunciation training techniques, real spoken Russian, listening practice, intonation work, and engaging exercises that actually help you hear and produce Russian sounds correctly.
Throughout the course, you will improve your Russian pronunciation step by step while also expanding your vocabulary, improving your listening skills, and discovering fascinating insights about how the Russian language really works.
What makes this course different is the practical approach. You will not simply repeat isolated sounds — you will actively train your ear and your mouth through:
real spoken Russian,
carefully selected pronunciation exercises,
Russian tongue twisters,
song analysis and singing practice,
listening drills,
intonation training,
and pronunciation “hacks” that make difficult sounds much easier to master.
Many traditional pronunciation methods found in textbooks work well in theory but fail to help learners sound natural in real conversation. Over the years, I have collected and tested the most effective techniques that help students improve their Russian pronunciation faster, more easily, and with much more enjoyment.
