  • The greatest part about getting soft and hard sounds right I noticed in your soft and hard "L" video is that the words are using the soft and hard consonants for a reason. So when you use the right one odds are good the word becomes a lot more comfortable to pronounce. The hard "L" before a ы was a great example for me here that made the realisation hit. It is at least for me so much easier to get to the ы from a soft "L" because the right tongue position kind of follows naturally from releasing the soft one, whereas with the hard L you gotta pull it so far back first it feels like you have to swallow your own tongue.
  • For me (native French), when you start both pronunciations at 4:56, it's like you're adding a second letter (é) to the first. And that helps me a lot because when Russian teachers talked to me about soft or hard, it didn't mean anything to me. But with your examples it will help me a lot.
  • I can manage to say the sounds properly while speaking single words, or concentrating on a word in a sentence. I think the hardest part is remembering to practice this with all the words in sentences, especially while trying to flow along. Someday,...it'll feel natural.

    Love listening to you teach. My wife is Russian and laughs at my enunciation. But I just go with it. I figure most will understand what I am saying despite my inability to enunciate properly, however, with this lesson - that may be dangerous!! I need to work harder on the hard v soft.
