    I was very surprised to see that the Russian language is very similar to Swedish. Most words and letters we pronounce very alike, and hard and easy vowels are very similar too. I’m really happy that it’s not going be a very hard and difficult journey in learning Russian as a Swedish Person!

    "Hard" vowels: а, э, о, у, ы
    "Soft" vowels: я, е, ё, ю, и
    Voiced -> Voiceless consonants:
    Д -> Т
    В -> Ф
    Г -> К
    Б -> П
    Reduction rules:
    1) Voiced consonant at the end of a word becomes voiceless
    2) Voiced consonant followed by a voiceless consonants becomes voiceless
    3) О sounds like "o" only when it's stressed, otherwise it sounds like "a" or "ə"
    4) Е sounds like "ee" when it's unstressed

I think this video explained them, but I still have to watch it a couple of times more. 😅

      Привет Лоренцо! Thank you very much for your comment! You are not alone! Many people mix up э, з and 3! 🙈 Well, don’t worry, eventually this error will not happen. And thank you very much for your nice words. I really put a lot of energy into making this video and I'm so glad it can help! 💜💜💜
