MORE ABOUT THE COURSE
I believe that learning Russian phonetics from an early stage will save you lots of time, as you won’t learn wrong pronunciation and won’t have to relearn words later.
Phonetics is extremely important and necessary for listening comprehension and speaking skills:
✅ бить (beat) - быть (to be) - completely different words.
✅ мат (mat) - мать (mother) - мять (crumple)
✅ идёт (he/she goes) - идиот (idiot)
Additionally, phonetics is directly related to grammar, e.g. you need its help when forming plurals of nouns, decline nouns, conjugate verbs, and so on.
Speak and sound like a Russian! It's time!
