Well, this is a pronunciation part, but the sentence is wrong. "Я говорю по-русски (adverb)" or "Я говорю на русском (adjective) [языке]". You are using an adjective and this way is not correct. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||||||||

I realize you probably aren't talking to me, but I think Pimsleur is the best choice. I recommend you 1) check your pronunciation against the recording, and don't consider you answer correct unless you match it very closely; that includes stress, softness, prosody and intonation, not just vowel and consonant sounds 2) read the transcript (it doesn't exist, so if you don't pm me I won't send it to you) after you do the lesson to map the orthography to the pronunciation. Your goal should be to read the sentences in the transcript out loud with the same pronunciation that you used during the lesson. edit: Should have recommended that you also read all the pronunciation rules to further cement it into your brain. A pretty good free source is the first few lessons of the Princeton course. Edited by leosmith on 29 September 2013 at 5:58am 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||||||||

I guess that's exactly where you should add Penguin to the mix. =) 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||||||||

leosmith, 22.2 is not that meaningless. Numeral declension is a complex topic even for
native Russian speakers. While simple numbers are declined in the same manner, compound numerals have many variants in speech. One has to admit that the explanation in 22 is rather complete, accurate and comprehensible. And there is only one suggestion to skip the material, while explaining pronunciation Brown wrote four or five times in different words and even using CAPITAL LETTERS how negligible softness, vowel reduction and voicing/devoicing are. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

Today's report
Got Penguin lesson 6 and Pimsleur 6 done. Didn't learn how to pronounce correctly the sentence не сейчас and some other complicated ones. Trying harder though Vocab continues to defy me. There are a lot of new words to learn. Any tips? Anki? I like Anki very much, but I dont know (yet) how to build my own decks. I always get a built one from another person. Maybe the time to learn it has come. I like when Pimsleur audio presents sentences with sounds that doesn't exist in my language. I really like to pronounciate then. They are so different :) Edited by Cristianoo on 28 September 2013 at 4:24am 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||||||||

What's complex in не сейчас? It is pronounced as a single word, the first two syllables are reduced (the first is reduced more, so it's more like a schwa there, but the н remains soft as well as the first с and ч). So, нисичас. Сейчас is often pronounced щас. About vocabulary. Try to read texts which you've read in Portuguese on a interesting topic. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||||||||
