You don't sound Russian at all as far as I can judge from the very short recording. Though it could also be because you tried to pronounce the words very clearly. I can't really tell what you sound like, only that your pronunciation of the vowels is typically Eastern European. I think you should make another recording and upload it so that we can effectively help you improve it.

I think you did really well (better than many Russian speakers after having spent years in Germany!). As others have said before, your R is a bit off, too guttural and in 'rasend' it sounds almost like a H. But maybe that's because you're forcing yourself a lot; I'm sure it'll get better with practice. The O in Ross is the only sound that sounds Russian to me, but the rest is fine.

The recording is rather short. Maybe you could upload a longer, more 'normal' text?

Anton,

You tried well.

I agree with the others. I just wanted to add, that the only really Russian sound that I hear is the platalised 'd' in the 'die' article. Try to read it as 'дъи' not 'ди'.

I don't know if this improvised cyrillic explanation will work, but I tried. drop me an im if you want. I could help with that over skype.

Thank you very much!

***

I've uploaded a sound file in German ("Der Winter ist kalt"). It had been uploaded already by other members, so I decided to record it too. Here is the link http://how-to-learn-any-language.com/sounds/index.asp?sound= 280

I'd like to see your comments.

Thanks.

Anton R.

I suppose there is an awful pronunciation, if nobody still haven't posted anything..

P.S. Anton R. is my old account, I just forgot my password :)
