Спасибо большое !This is always been a very difficult skill for me. Thank you for the diagrams of the mouth. That really helps, especially when your ear is not highly tuned to the different sounds.

Im really loving learning from your lessons. You are an awesome tutor. Thankyou

Nice presentation, thanks! It's ironical, though, that in order to pronounce "soft" consonants you have to move your tongue toward the "hard" palate (just joking).

If I just pronounced [mja] instaed of palatalize the [m] sound would it be wrong or uncomprehensible?

Natalia, this is all really useful (hard/soft, akanye, ikanye), but there is one thing i have been wondering about.   In normal speech, how do the unstressed adjective endings sound: ый, ая, ое.  Thanks

Hi, Natalia I have a question. The soft T is equal to the english T as in the word TAKE?
