Pronunciation Tips<\/h4>\n
    \n
  1. Compare the soft \u201c\u043b\u201d in the first line with the hard \u201c\u043b\u201d in the second line.<\/li>\n
  2. The letter \u201c\u0447\u201d is pronounced like \u201c\u0448\u201d in the words \u201c\u0447\u0442\u043e\u201d (what) and
    \n\u201c\u043a\u043e\u043d\u0435\u0301\u0447\u043d\u043e\u201d (of course).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    Reminder: Listen to the words above and then read them. Repeat as many times as you need to feel comfortable with your pronunciation.<\/h5>\n
