New post is up → How To Fix Your Russian Pronunciation – Part Three This time I wrote about vowel reduction and stress patterns. If you don't reduce unstressed vowels (А/О → schwa, Е/Я → И-like), Russians will struggle to understand you. Bad Rs are okay, but missing reduction can be a real problem. Practical fixes inside: active listening, rhythm tapping, self-recording, and why "rules" alone won't save you - practice is what actually rewires your ear and mouth. Final part of the series. Read + fix your speech.
