Alright,
this is episode 18 of Learn Russian Pronunciation. Today we’re going
to expand on what we did in the last episode by including people’s
names into the mix. Let’s start with the name Igor. Listen to it in
Russian:
Игорь
There’s
a soft-sign at the end. For comparison, here’s how it would sound
without that.
Игор
But
again, properly, it’s: Игорь. Try to
say: Igor was in the theater.
Игорь
был в театре.
Now
listen as the speaker says: Igor lives in Brooklyn.
Игорь
живёт в Бруклине.
That’s
our official phrase for today, and we’ll be using it a lot, as we
practice new names and places.
So,
the speaker will same a name and a city. Repeat each one, and then
say that that person lives in that city. For ex:
Тарас
/ Мельбурн
Тарас
живёт в Мельбурне.
Careful
with the soft-sign in there, after the letter Л.
And did you add the ‘yeh’ sound at the end? Listen again…
Тарас
живёт в Мельбурне.
Again,
the reasoning for why we have to add the ‘yeh’ sound…that is beyond
the scope of these lessons. But I cover it in great detail in all my
other courses. I hope you advance to one of them after this
pronunciation course. Anyway, next…
Анастасия
/ Дубай
Анастасия
живёт в Дубае.
Next:
Борис / Иерусалим
Борис
живёт в Иерусалиме.
Out
of curiosity, can you guess which place this is?
Квебек
In
English, we call it: Quebec. Anyway…
Татьяна
/ Квебек
Татьяна
живёт в Квебеке.
Next:
Олег
/ Амстердам
Олег
живёт в Амстердаме.
Doing
a little review: How would you say: I’m going to the park.
Я
иду в парк.
That
was from episode #16. иду is the ‘on
foot’ version of “going”. Now try to say:
I’m
traveling to Quebec.
Я
еду в Квебек.
еду
is the “by vehicle” form of going.
Listen as the speaker says: Igor is traveling to Minsk.
Игорь
едет в Минск.
Say:
I’m traveling. Taras is traveling.
Я
еду. Тарас едет.
New
name, new city. Listen?
Сергей
/ Мюнхен
So
try to say: Sergei is traveling to Munich.
Сергей
едет в Мюнхен.
Now
say: Sergei lives in Munich.
Сергей
живёт в Мюнхене.
Next:
Екатерина / Сидней
Try
to say: Ekaterina is traveling to Sydney.
Екатерина
едет в Сидней.
Next…
Вероника
/ Севастополь
So
try to say: Veronika lives in Sevastopol.
Вероника
живёт в Севастополе.
What
country do you think this is?
Китай
China.
And here’s a new name for you: Артём
So
try to say: Artyom is traveling to China.
Артём
едет в Китай.
Next:
Дарья / Цюрих
Daria
lives in Zurich.
Дарья
живёт в Цюрихе.
Say:
I’m traveling to Zurich.
Я
еду в Цюрих.
Mixing
in some locations from the previous lesson, try to say:
Sasha
lives in Paris.
Саша
живёт в Париже.
Roger
is traveling to Madrid.
Роджер
едет в Мадрид.
My
wife was in St. Petersburg.
Моя
жена была в Санкт-Петербурге.
Vova
is traveling to Kiev.
Вова
едет в Киев.
I
really like Chicago. What’s the super literal translation for that?
To
me very pleasing Chicago.
Мне
очень нравится Чикаго.
Try
that again. I really like Amsterdam.
Мне
очень нравится Амстердам.
That’s a lot to absorb, so be sure to head over to the site, russianpronunciation.com to read the transcript and practice with all these names. And in the meantime, I’ll see you in Ep 19.
