- Learn Russian letters that look strange but have familiar sounds. Russian lessons with fun and easy exercises that will hack your brain to read in Russian instantly. There are many of you who asked me to create a more detailed video on Russian alphabet. Even though there are already lots of videos that teach Russian alphabet, I noticed that they are not really teaching you to read in Russian - not only to learn how each Russian letter is pronounced separately but to understand how they can be pronounced in words taking into account that they can have different sounds depending on their position in a word. In these lessons, you will also discover Russian-English similar words and cognates that will help you get used to Cyrillic letters. The next lesson will be published in one day - 'Russian letters and sounds that don't exist in English'.
If you haven't watched the first video on Russian alphabet with Russian letters that are almost the same as in English, you can find it here - • Learn Russian Letters ...
Here is my very first video on Russian alphabet if you want to learn about about these word associations that I give for each Russian letter - • Video

8.
Ф ф[ “F” in “Father”/Film]
Letter name: Ef
Equivalent to English letter “F”.
Pronounced like “F” in “Father”.
This is another very interesting Russian letter. Sometimes it's quite difficult for foreigners to write it and to remember as well because it can be really challenging to remember it, due to his form.
Originated from the Greek Alphabet:
Letter : Phi Ф[uppercase] φ[Lowercase]
Sound can by modified. It's also important to know that this letter sounds like [f ]but in some situations it can sound as [VA].
And a good word association with this letter is :
★
Фиг вaм [Fig vam]=A colloquial Russian phrase, euphemism of a strong Russian swear word, meaning: “You won’t get anything from me”.
A hand gesture made by making a fist and sticking the thumb between the pointer and middle finger, usually carries a vulgar meaning (known as the "fig sign")
"Фиг вам!" ― "Fig vam!" ― "Screw you!" (roughly, you will get nothing at all)
en.wiktionary.org/wiki
This is literally the way to tell somebody that you don't want to do something.
And like you don't care about these people just like saying: “Leave me alone. I don't want to do what you ask me to do “
Let's have some practice with Russian - English similar words :
-Effect
ЭФФЕКТ
Efékt
I don't pronounce it twice. I don't say “ ef +fect. Well , no, we
don't speak like this. It mostly sounds like a one letter [f] {EFECT}, but I pronounced it really long.
-Fact
ФАКТ
Fakt
-Philosophy
ФИЛОСОФИЯ
Filasófiya
-Myth
МИФ
Mif
Film
ФИЛЬМ
Fil’m
Just in this Russian word you need to pronounce this soft sign [ь].
9.
Э э [“E” in “Ted”]
In some cases can be pronounced as [ee].
A good word association for this letter is:
Эльбруc[Elbrus]=Mount Elbrus is a dormant volcano in the Caucasus mountains in Southern Russia. I tis the highest mountain in Europe. You can read the description and you can see the photo. If you want to learn more of course you can also find some more information on the Internet.
Let's have some practice with Russian - English similar words :
-Exam
ЭКЗАМЕН
Ekzámen
-Evolution
ЭВОЛЮЦИЯ
Evalyútsiya
Economics*
ЭКОНОМИКА
Ekanómika
*
Also a brand name of cleaning detergent.
-Egoist*
ЭГОИСТ
Egaíst
The ending 'IST' of Greek origin means "one who does or makes" is equivalent
to a suffix 'ИСТ' in words like "optimist" (оптимист), egoist (эгоист),
journalist (журналист), etc.
-Emotion
ЭМОЦИЯ
Emótsiya
Good news: this is the end of this lesson. No more weird-looking Russian letters
that have similar sounds. In the next lesson- part 4, we'll have Russian
letters and Russian sounds that don't exist at all in English .
Excellent video. Very helpful.

7.
П п[“P” in “Parrot]
Letter name: Peh
Equivalent to English letter [P]
But is really confusing for Russian language learners .
Also originates from the Greek Alphabet letter:
Pi=Π[uppercase] π [lowercase]. Also used as a number [3.14] in Mathematics.
Sound can be modified. In some situation though it can sound as [Ba] depending on the position of this letter in a word . That is, if it is followed by a voiced consonant
[Б=B].
A very good association with this letter is the word :
Пeльмeни [ Pelmeni ]= Dumplings filled with meat.{ like Italian Ravioli}
Traditional Russian dish. You can eat it with some kind of sour cream or with
ketchup ,or as mayonnaise as you want.
Now let's have some practice with Russian - English cognates and similar words :

3.
Д д [“D” in “Day”]
Letter’s name: Deh
Here is a strange looking Russian letter.
Letter “Deh” and it sounds like [d]. In some situations it will sound like
[T ] - for example a the end of a word. For example:
Город =city[Gorat]
And as you understand it's equivalent to an English letter [d] just like in a word
“ Day “, “Darling”, etc.
And this interesting form of this letter comes from the Greek alphabet :
Delta =Δ[uppercase] δ[lowercase].
And the word association with this letter is :
Let’s , come on*
Давай=
Davai
You definitely need to know this word from the beginning because it's a very
multifunctional and useful word. Russian people use it a lot in many different situations. It can mean: Bye, Let’s, Go ahead! Give me, Hurry up! , and so on.
I have a video about this word : Tricky Russian word ДАВАЙ | 10 ways to use ДАВАЙ in Russian

Let's look at some Russian - English similar words:
-Doctor
ДОКТОР
Doctor
-Designer
ДИЗАЙНЕР

-Document
ДОКУМЕНТ

Again as you can notice I don't pronounced [o] as it's written
I pronounce it as [a ]because it's not stressed.
-Discussion
ДИСКУССИЯ
Disku ́siya
-Diet
ДИЕТА
Diyéta
-Depression
ДЕПРЕССИЯ
Deprésiya
4.
З з [“Z” in “Zap” / “Zoo]
Letter’s name: Zeh
Here is another weird looking Russian letter-the letter [Zeh] As you can see it really looks like a number three [3]. And it sounds like [z]. In some situations it will
sound like [S- in “Soul”]. It is an equivalent to the English letter [Zed].
A word association for this letter is:
Зaкуcкa[Zakuska]= Russian appetizer or snacks. Russian people eat it when they drink Vodka and it includes: pickled cucambars, tomatoes, dry salted fish and bread.
And of course let's have some practice with Russian -English similar words :

-Mayonnaise
МАЙОНЕЗ

5.
И и [I in “Mix]
Letter name: Ee
Here we have another strange looking Russian letter :
The letter [Ee] . So it sounds almost the same as an English
[I ] in the word “Mix “, though a Russian [ e ]is more open .
A good association with this letter is a word:
Caviar=Икрa [Ikra ]. Russia is famous for it’s Caviar.
Although it can be expensive; so not all Russians eat it.
And let's have some practice with Russian - English similar words :
-Intonation

6.
Л л [“L” in “letter”]
Letter’s name: Ehl
Equivalent to English [L].
Pronounces just like in the words “lake”, Love, and so on.
And an interesting association that you can learn, especially if you're
interested in Russian history is the name “Lenin “. [Ле́нин (Lénin)]
He was a communist and the leader of the Bolshevik party.
And nowadays you can still see him, well not see him in real life. But you can actually
visit his tomb which is located in the mausoleum in Moscow.
Let's have some practice now :
-Literature
ЛИТЕРАТУРА
Literatúra
Lottery

😃 Все любят русскую грамматику? 😳 Это что-то новое для меня 😁 Но я рада знать, что ты любишь русскую грамматику, Лоренцо 😊 Поэтому у тебя такой прекрасный уровень 👍 спасибо за комментарий, Лоренцо 🤗
@@hackyourrussian4091 Большое спасибо, Мила🙏Серьезно, это была небольшая шутка, потому что не все любят русскую грамматику😂 Но лично я не ненавижу это, потому что это может быть полезно… Но очевидно, что это не самое главное… Грамматика без словарного запаса - как машина без бензина: ты не можешь никуда идти😊 Желаю прекрасного вечера😊
Learn Russian letters that look strange but have familiar sounds. Russian lessons with fun and easy exercises that will hack your brain to read in Russian instantly. There are many of you who asked me to create a more detailed video on Russian alphabet. Even though there are already lots of videos that teach Russian alphabet, I noticed that they are not really teaching you to read in Russian - not only to learn how each Russian letter is pronounced separately but to understand how they can be pronounced in words taking into account that they can have different sounds depending on their position in a word. In these lessons, you will also discover Russian-English similar words and cognates that will help you get used to Cyrillic letters. The next lesson will be published in one day - 'Russian letters and sounds that don't exist in English'.
★
English words which end in ‘TION‘, ‘CION’, ‘SION‘ are equivalent to Russian words ending with ‘ЦИЯ‘ or ‘СИЯ‘.
English words ending on ‘LOGY‘ and ‘TICS‘/’MICS’ are of Greek origin and havetheir equivalents in Russian language as ‘ЛОГИЯ‘ И ‘ТИКА‘/’МИКА’ accordingly.
1.
Б б [B as in “Bar”]
Letter name: Beh
Sound can be modified.
So here is the first Russian strange looking letter that has a familiar sound.
This is a letter [Beh]. And it sounds like [Ba ] ; well in some situations.
Again it depends on the position of this letter. It may also sound as [Pa]
When it comes at the end of a word.
And as you understand is it's an equivalent to an English [b] . So it really sounds almost the same as an English [b ]in words like “Bar”, “Book” etc.
And the word association that we have with this letter is
Grandmother
Бaбушкa
Babushka
I know that many foreigners believe that we need to put stress actually on a
letter [y=U/oo], but it's not correct. It's correct to say [babushka]
Would you like some practice with Russian - English cognates ?
Well here they are . Let's try to guess :
-Biology
Биология
[Bialógiya]
-Balcony
Балкон
[Balkón]
-Banana
Банан
Banan
-Barbeque
Барбекю
Barbekyu
It's not Russian word. So it's quite easy to guess it .
-Bottle
Бутылка
Butylka
-Brother
Брат
Brat
Well it doesn't sound completely the same as as its English equivalent {brother}but anyway there are some similarities in sounds.
-Bank
Банк
[Bank]
2.
Г г [“G” in “Get”/ “K” *]
Letter name: Geh
This strange looking Russian letter is a letter “Geh” and its sound is [Ga].
In some situations depending on its position it may sound like [K].
★
If letter is positioned at the end of a word it sounds like [K in “key”] For example Друг[Druk]= friend.
And if you think that this letter looks really strange, we just need to remember that it comes from a Greek Alphabet : Г γ.[Gamma].
A word association that we have with this letter, probably not the best one, but anyway you should know. This is also somewhat a part of our culture and this is a word:
Person of lower-class
Гoпник
Gopnik
A young man or a woman of lower-class background that usually lives in Russian suburb areas and can be part of a gang. So you can read the description and you can read more about this type of people on the Internet but the most important thing that I want to tell you is that you should beware of these people if you are in
Russia. Well there are not so many nowadays, but anyway you can meet them in some small cities and this is not a good acquaintance .
