As a Russian that does not have a Russian accent in English. You forgot that we say Rs as soft and roll them and you forgot that much of the hard sounds are back of mouth with dropped jaw and much Russian is actually very soft or soft to hard and hard to soft changes.

[@angeltensey]

thats not really accurate. russians doesnt alter sounds they somewhat already have in russian vocabulary. E sounds like YE only by itself, but in sentence its close to english E in many cases. TH is a problem since russian alphabet doesnt have a functional equivalent. those russian who doesnt bother, instead use soft D/hard T. TH as Z is a ancient soviet academic anachronism. H has exactly the same sounding letter X (not eX).

[@workwithai]

@@angeltensey not true. Because my main language is Russian it is much easier for me to speak the 5 other languages I speak with very little accent. Russian teaches you to bend your tongue like English doesn't. Grammar and reading aside (English is a collection of French and German words that have pronunciation quarks when in English). There are many phrases that you can say that will make people not distinguish a Russian from a native English speaker. I know I typically roll my Rs even in US English which gives me an accent with those words and multiple consonants in a row and W give me issues like "dnes" in Wednesday gives me trouble still, the words like "word" and "world. It also may be that my English is a Philly accent and they have issues with Ws anyway.

[@arthurofdelirian]

2:54 nope, never :) I think you've confused Russian accent in English with English accent in Russian :)) English speakers find it hard to pronounce the link like "не" (like in the word "нет", so it sounds like "nyet"). Also it's good to know that we have incorporated the english word "respect" into our slang language and use it from time to time, we don't pronounce it as "respyekt". Other than that, респект автору 😀

He is trying to simply it. He is aware there are more aspects I'm sure. I am learning how to speak Russian language, and He sounds similar to most Russians I have spoken to. I have heard others speak English with more of a British accent. I agree this video does not very accurately sound like a Russian speaking English, but it is close. I have found practicing speaking English like my Russian friends copying their accents and word choice has helped me understand Russian language better. I also believe it helps me speak better Russian, I try to forget my English all together. So far it is working OK. I will not stop until fluency is achieved.

[@Brandoimar]

​@@dizzyDElKnobberChokker man.... it's just so wrong

[@vintovkin]

Well, it is a Hollywood Russian accent, not the real one. In reality, Russian accent is quite soft, lips and tongue are mostly relaxed, pharynx is not so constricted as it is in English. That's why the first thing you need to actually learn to do is to relax your tongue, lips, pharynx and rely on vowels more than on consonants while speaking. Consonants should sound very soft most of the time. Russian articulation is quite similar to the Portugese one . and, btw, /r/ sound is much softer, we don't speak with a trill, /r/ sound in Russian is soft and muffled in most cases. what you did by adding 'y' sound in every other place is also completely unnecessary. We do have 'y' sound but we use it only at the end of some Russian words and almost never when we speak English simply because there's no need to put additional sounds where there are none. for /h/ sound you do not need to add /k/. just remove excessive airstream and make it sound softer. All in all, it was a good attempt anyway, thanks for your great work:)

[@igry_s_drevnego_kompa]

Thank you for this masterclass, it was interesting! I am surprised somebody wants to learn it)) I would like to contribule a little. In Russian language we usually make the last consonant sound unvoiced, it is very important. We also do this while speaking English. For example, the word 'dead' should be pronounced as [det], 'bread' is [bret]. It can make you sound much more Russian. Also, sound [w] is often just [v], it's much easier) And the [kh] sound is not so literal [kh]. It's more like [h] but pronounced much stronger. Like, you need to raise the middle of your tongue up, strain it and blow the air out of your mouth with some force. I don't mean to be a party pooper, just want to help a little)

The friactive 'h' exists in English, especially in some Scottish names and words, so most English speakers will recognise that and be able to imitate it.

[@anamerkury8881]

I am russian and I'm not sure about the vw sound. We either mix v and w ("viggle" instead of "wiggle", "wital" instead of "vital) or pronounce w as "ou". If you go for a light russian accent, keep the v-w mixup and add some artificial british accent (it was taught in school) with a rich american "r"

[@Ivan-qk2rn]

this video is a mixed bag. On the vw sound, he is actually talking about this slight difference between russian bilibial v (two lips are touching to make a sound) vs english dento-libial v (upper lip and edge of lower teeth). but it's kinda not a big deal for russian speakers: not mixing those up are a problem, you're absolutely right. and i agree, i've never heard someome palatalizing english consonants (making "ye").

[@cskyla1844]

Informative!

[@xJayAddams]

The kh just sounds like a K which I think it’s wrong 😅

[@igry_s_drevnego_kompa]

@@Ivan-qk2rn I think some of the points in the video are based on Rusiian transcription. The [kh] sound is transcribed like this, but is pronounced differently. And the [ye] is the same, we can write it that way, because the consonant sound before this one is probably soft, and in English they don't have soft sounds. So they probably understand how to write this one down, but they don't understand how to pronounce it properly.

[@nansyraccoon7095]

Hi, I'm russian. I don't struggle with w and th sounds at all. They're the easiest to learn. I find it more difficult with the vowels. I do pronounce them longer than necessary even after years of learning english. I botch my r's sometimes but I can get them right when I concentrate. Soft russian vowels are overkill. We don't do that to this extent and we don't soften them in all the occasions. It sounds more like movie russian.

Очень похоже на мои потуги в английский, когда он делает акцент. Весьма наглядно :)

[@Honeybadger0010]

It all depends on how well a native Russian speaker was studying English. Those whose English is limited by their high school English will speak with strong east European accent like the author is presenting here with strong British like pronunciation. Those who have lived many years in North America and actually tried to improve their accent will quickly learn how to properly pronounce th, w, h and oo. But even those who can speak absolutely fluently and even think in English will still struggle once in a while with American spelling of words that have o or u in them. Such as hot and hut. There's a slight difference but most Russian natives will just say "хат". Another big problem for all Russian language speakers is when to use articles "a" and "the" or no article. Even advanced speakers sometimes confuse their use as there are no articles in Russian language at all.

[@Pidalin]

What about words like ship vs sheep? I noticed that some slavic speakers struggle with that, as a Czech, I have an advantage that we have long vowels, so I clearly hear the difference.

[@Olga-ql3lx]

​@@Pidalinthat is really a problem. We just can't hear the difference. That's why it's almost impossible for us Russians to pronounce these words correctly

[@Pidalin]

@@Olga-ql3lx We simplify it to "šip" and "šíp" like if it was written in Czech, which is not always 100% correct pronunciation, but better than nothing. 🙂 Worse are vowels which sound like some schwa or combination of more vowels, that's very hard for us to pronounce. I can do it for separate words, but in whole sentence, I have to simplify it, so words like had or that will be "het" and "det" because even TH is hard to pronounce in whole sentence, especially when there is more words like that. We mostly pronounce D at the end of words like T, but I noticed that some English speakers make that efford to really say D there.

Pretty funny, thanks. I have to agree with most (since I'm a Russian, so I have the kind of accent too). The only one I don't agree with is the "YE" in "RespYEct". Doesn't sound like Russian, I'm afraid. To do it more Russian try to imagine there's no "Y" there (which used to make you separate the "E" from the "p"). You should pronounce the "p" softer instead. "Resp'Ect" - soft "p" + "e" like in the word "yes" (but without "y" - remember?). I believe you know there are two Russian letters for "e": "Э" (sounds like "e" in "empty", "enter" etc) and "Е" (can sound like "YE" in "yes" - often at the beginning of a word - or like ['e] (didn't find another English word for that) "yEs", "ViEtnam" (BUT WITHOUT "Y") - inside a word). Sometimes in Russian you need to put the "YE" inside a word, so you need to separate the previous consonant from the "YE". Russians use the "separating soft sign" to write that: "Вьетнам" (Vietnam - sounds pretty much like in English - with Y: "VYETNAM"). But without this soft sign (Ь) Russians are not going to pronounce an "E" after a consonant like "YE".

Yeah for a Russian it sure sounds like middle African or Polish guy stuttering. We don’t use Y between consonants and vowels, instead we just soften the previous consonant being something more of a Spanish n/ñ situation. So it would be rather irresp̃ectable than irresp-Y-ectable which really sounds like stuttering. Additionally we don’t use a K instead of the H we just have the same H with actually the same tongue posture but the only difference is that you actually pronounce the letter and your tongue actually touches the soft palate rather than just “breathing” instead like in English. Again, similar to Spanish, namely to “J”. Also it would be nice if you had mentioned the difference between our T sounds, the difference is caused by actually different tongue posture, in English T is pronounced with a tongue being on the incisive papilla making it sometimes TS instead, whereas in Russian it’s pronounced after the incisive papilla being much closer to the roots of teeth which makes it just a basic solid T never sounding like TS. D is pronounced in the same position, so that’s why Russian D never transforms into a flap T (or just a Russian R based on the way flap T actually sounds)

I was born and raised in the usa but i have lots of russian friends and i am ethnically russian and just hanging out with my friends changes my accent into a russian one. Whenever i go home it turns to a german/American accent since im also german.

[@Sasha_Bychenkov]

Even my schoolmates had never spoken like you in this video.

[@jakobi7160]

Please german accent next

[@TheActorsAcademy]

I’ll keep it in mind for the next one!

[@CosmicNameTaken]

As someone who speaks russian, I agree with most of this other than the k before the h, I find that the beginning of the h uses more breath and it's a barely noticable k, it comes more from the back of the throat, other than that though you earned a like and sub Note: Russian is not my first language, so I could definitly be wrong

[@nadjapek2001]

As a native Russian, I am very surprised that you hear our pronunciation from the back of the throat. We have all the sounds in the front! The main difficulty for Russians is to start pronouncing sounds with the back of the throat, as they do in English. As for K and H, I specifically tried to understand how we pronounce these sounds. And they are side by side in Russian, the tongue drops slightly after K and exhale hhh. We, Russians, are specially taught that English h is pronounced almost silently, just by exhaling x. This is difficult for us.

[@nadjapek2001]

But perhaps you are right, I thought. I talked about the Russian language, but there are Ukrainians and a southern Russian accent, so they have guttural sounds, and this can be reflected in their English.

[@kornvondorn5275]

As a russian person, I agree with everything except for the letter kh - we don't say that. There's no this k-sound in it but h should be strong.

[@ANZULAWSON]

This video has been incredibly helpful!!! thank you so. much!

[@OstaniorRent]

as a russian i can say its kinda accurate , except im not sure about ye(respyect) and kh (how) sounds, never saw someone talk like that, we just say straight E (russian e, and its without Y (Й)) sound , and k in h not so hard, but yes, our h in "how" is harder than it must be.

[@ДмитрийКузьменко-э1ц]

Очень сомневаюсь, что вы русские, кто пишут "very accurate". Какое "кхау? Кто их ваших знакомых так говорит, ирреспЙЕктебл, тоже никогда не слышал, чтобы меняли е на йе. Звук И довольно точно разницу подал, тиэйч похоже тоже.

[@mivmilos]

По поводу "кхау" в этом есть доля правды. Дело в том, что русское "х" звучит намного более интенсивно, чем английское "h". В английском звуке воздух практически не встречает никаких препятствий и звучит очень легко и мягко, почти беззвучно. Послушайте внимательно произношение носителей "home" или "how". В русском языке такого звука нет, как и в английском нет жёсткого "х" как в слове "хорошо". Русскоговорящие по привычке произносят "хow" и "хome"

[@jinxedwhis]

Как русскоговорящий, изучающий английский, могу сказать, что артикуляции в этих языках очень сильно отличаются. Чтобы выговорить слова на русском, можно почти не открывать рот, мимика мало задействована. В английском нужно растягивать губы или довольно широко раскрывать рот. Поэтому рекомендую максимально лениво шевелить губами. Возможно из-за этого русские стереотипно безымоциональны в американских фильмах 😂

This is pretty useful, I'm doing VA for my friend and the character has a Russian accent, so thank you!

It's actually great manual of what not to do while learning english (I am russian). And you might want to know that now less and less Russians speak this way, becausr there are so many great lesrning resources... So modern Russians speak really great english

Я всю жизнь думала, что KH и YE возникают из-за того, англоговорящим трудно произносить какие-то русские звуки, а оказывается их реально так учат 😂😂

[@vitya00kr4]

wow, this is pretty damn accurate. also im not sure about other russians but i pronounce ‘that, there’ as ‘dat, dere’ instead of ‘zat, zere’ XD

[@nick72486]

[@sigrunaverjanova]

okay I'm russian and now I know how to make a russian accent)) Nice work! Didn't think about all this stuff

[@nikitabiryukov2468]

You've made a couple mistakes: 1. There is no special rule for "how", just regular "h". 2. "E" should sound like in "yes", try to pronounce only "e" from the word. Not "ye"! If you pronounce "ye", you sound not like a russian, but like an actor who tries to speak russian:) Like in bad films in the 80s:) Also, all sounds should be more firm, and in russian we mostly pronounce all the sounds we read, so "brother" should be pronounced with sharp "r" at the end. In russian we don't have articles(a/an/the), and just a three tense, so if you want to represent not so smart russian, you can cast "The boy has been washing the car for 4 hours" to "boy washed car 4 hours" (prepositions could be confusing too).

[@gonnaikeikun1089]

[@SuleymanAkhundov]

A mixed bag of correct and incorrect recommendations. For example, the rolling Rs, W > V, TH > Z or S substitutions were more or less correct. Still, other suggestions seemed like an attempt to reverse engineer the cliched Hollywood Russian accent, rather than analyzing the actual Russian English. For example, the H > KH substitution was almost the opposite of the correct suggestion. The Russian "X" sounds like a more aspirated English "H" - the Russian X is pronounced deep in your throat and can be extended as needed, unlike the explosive top-of-the-mouth "K" sounds. So, the Russians would not pronounce "H" sounds as "KH". The reverse is true though. For English speakers, it is difficult to pronounce the Russian "X", and it is them who convert that sound to "KH", like in KHarkiv (city in Ukraine) or KHleb (bread). The E > YE substitution was not correct. The Russians, unlike the Hollywood actors ))), would pronounce a short "e" sound instead of the "ye" diphthong. Similarly, the suggestion to prolong the "u" sound to something like "oooo" was weird and did not sound right. To sound more Russian, do not stretch out the vowels, shorten them instead. The Russian speakers would likely use a short "e" sound in "pEOple" or "drEAm". In words ending with P, T or K sounds try to avoid aspirating those consonants. Also, keep in mind that the Russian words always have only one stressed syllable, no matter how long a word is. For example, words like "intermission" or "revolution" when pronounced by a Russian speaker would have only one stressed syllable: interMIssion and revoLUtion (not 'inter'mission or 'revo'lution). That should take you closer to the way the Russians speak English.

[@i_need_a_dakimakura]

I'm Russian and this was more accurate than I expected

[@Eroshenkova]

В каком месте? Мы не говорим "ниет" , так скорее говорят американцы, которые учат русский. И что за "кх"? Бред сивой кобылы. Всё видео просто набор стереотипов из голливудских фильмов.

[@andviktor]

One of the most important points is that when you pronounce the sounds “T” and “D”, press your tongue against your front teeth. Unlike similar sounds in English, in Russian, when pronouncing these sounds, there is no air passage, the sounds are sharp.

[@igroded77]

It's not russian accent, it's american accent trying to pretend russian. Works only if you are a hollywood actor.))

[@АмальФарук-в6д]

I don’t know how to explain this but vowels in English sounds more complex than in Russian, like urs consists of multiple sounds, most Russian vowels consists of only 1. Other parameters of Russian accent r pretty accurate!

[@Frogga_UFO]

2:52 E sound. "Respect" especially - doesn't sound Russian accent at all. It sound like FAKE Russian accent and it's very cringe tbh. Everything else is great

[@TheRealLiszt]

i clicked on this video because it popped up on my fyp and something that you got wrong is the w. many russians can pronounce the W but a lot of them do a v sound. colossus from deadpool can pronounce the w pretty good and he’s russian

[@svetlanabogacheva-uu6yn]

I think "y" sound before "e" is something English speakers add when learning Russian, at least saying "nyet" and adding y in general is how we parody English speakers trying to speak Russian. It's probably because softening consonants and making it seemless is harder for them. A Russian would pronounce it more like"reh-sp'ehkt". I've never heard actual Russians add "y". The ' thing is ь (soft sign).

[@ИдаЧайная]

Thank you for pointing out where should I work more with my Russian accent) The video is fun, most of the sounds are really Russian-like. I'd say only "KHow" is not so good, but it's really tricky to pronounce Russian "х".

[@tun-o3m]

Он в общем прав но произносит по-американски. это правда что русские произносят w как в, i (bit) как и, и так далее, его "kh" было неправильным потому что оно произносится не как "k + h", а как "х", как в немецком или шотландском. Проблема в том, что он все равно говорит как американец, просто как будто он произносит другие слова, когда американец скажет "vibe" это не значит что он говорит "wipe" с русским акцентом. Если русский знает, как произносить "w", он все равно будет звучать по-русски, потому что есть много других вещей, которые нужно выучить, чтобы звучать как американец например.

[@rodee1671]

Shit. I learned Russian to do the accent.
