Indeed, and Spanish people have the same problem as Russians with the [h] sound. I know many Spaniards who, when speaking English, will either drop the [h] altogether, so "air" and "hair" sounds the same, or they pronounce it close to the Spanish "jota". 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Я польского языка не знаю, но, насколько я понимаю, большинство пар по твердости- мягкости в русском понимании там исчезло. То есть не с-сь, а с-щ, что уже, в общем-то, французу должно быть понятно. н-нь во французском уже есть. Губные согласные, если верить Википедии, фактически произносятся как сочетания согласных с иотом (кроме как перед и), а на конце слов не встречаются. Даже если Википедии не верить, мы знаем, что всякие русские "бя", где йота никакого нет, воспринимаются иностранцами как бья и с "ба" не путаются. То есть трудно воспринимать разницу между ś и sz, а не между s ś. In short: it's hard to perceive the difference between ś and sz, not s and ś.

You are allowed to trill the r like that in Dutch. It is not perfectly standard, but it is the only form that is considered correct in Belgium (unless you speak Brussels or Ghent dialect) and plenty of dialects in Dutch have it (Amsterdam, low Saxon dialects, etc). 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I won't go quite as far as to say I can't pronounce it, but I have a difficult time with
the "z" sound in Mandarin. I'm getting a lot better with practice apparently but it's one of the few sounds I've had to work on actively that was just plain wrong at the beginning. When I first got here nearly a month ago it was wrong nine times out of ten, and when I managed it by fluke I was never able to produce it a second time. Once I began to learn words with said sound in them it got better a bit faster, but I'd say it still gives me trouble.

I don't want to nitpick, but the ш and the р in маршрут belong to two different sillables, so you have to pronounce them seperately anyway. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Do you pronounce all the syllables separately? Anyway there are words like шрам. Edited by Марк on 16 November 2012 at 8:57am 1 person has voted this message useful |
