I like how the hardest words to pronounce are some of the most basic words in the language XD

[@DeadnWoon]

Some yes, while some other - not. Colloquially in an informal conversation people used to tell something like zdraste or draste. That is you may just pronounce the word drastic without ending c.

[@taylorrathbone5638]

I saw the word for "attraction" and i wanted to cry XD

[@jazz9319]

Try German words and cry harder

[@PanglossDr]

was ist?

[@paulm6529]

die Sehenswürdigkeit?

[@annakobulia3430]

ahaah

[@DeadnWoon]

Well, it means quite a tourist attraction. Attraction as the state of mind or physical force are translated to different words. I would rather translate it not attraction, but sight as in sightseeing. Attraction attributed to some sort of activity or force would be притяжение (prityazheniye) in Russian.

[@Qeisama]

When I first started, my Russian teacher was kinda surprised with my pronunciation. Maybe because I've learned Arabic, English, Japanese, and German before starting Russian so my tongue has been trained a lot lol. My native language is Indonesian so I have 5 totally different ways to pronounce things before starting Russian. I once said to my teacher that the way my tongue pronouncing Russian is a mixture of Arabic and German with a hint of made-up French lol. Among my first Russian words, I really love to say карандаш and журнал. Dunno why

[@jazz9319]

French has something from Russian and vice versa

[@RadenPrabowo1]

Qeisama Hebat banget mas ...

[@ColNedZveKras-100]

Maybe because the words карадаш and журнал are not Russian, but descended from Arabic and French?

I am 13 years old, and for my whole life so far I have known Russian, and while I know russian for as long as 13 years, I cannot pronounce the Russian "R" when I say r in Russian it sounds like I am a toddler, I say it with my throat if that makes any sense?? I beg please someone help me..

[@adriancahunochoa5573]

I had to repeat the video a lot of times. 10 times because of the pronunciation and 20 times because of the beauty of this girl haha

[@veteranJMacfan]

the first couple words were definitely hard. and it wasn't surprising to see the Russian "hello" listed. when I started, it was one of the first words I learned and it was a mouthful. Comparatively, pazhalsta (my focus on learning Russian is more about reading and understanding, not so much writing- not yet anyway) I always found really easy. It's interesting to me how in Russia, they use pazhalsta for "please" as well as "you're welcome". Katya's one of my favorite people to watch in videos for learning Russian. She's like having one of your friends as a teacher.

[@MaRsw1]

+veteranJMacfan The Germans use the word "Bitte" in the same way! In French, we differenciate "please" and "you're welcome", however some Belgians use the same word "s'il-vous-plaît" to say both.

top 10 hardest russian words to pronounce for *english speakers*, I guess? English is my 3rd language and I didn't have too much of a problem pronouncing these words. And my mother tongue isn't slavic either.

[@kittyem63]

I'm a native Spanish speaker and I could pronounce it well so she probably does mean the native English speakers.

[@owtena]

The question is HOW you pronounce them.. probably with a heavy accent and that's why they're The Hardest Russian Words to Pronounce. I heard foreigners speaking correctly (grammatically) in Russian, but with a really heavy accent while trying to pronounce some words. Pronunciation is hard for non-Slavic speakers :)

[@romankovalev7290]

"Достопримечательность" is pretty hard for foreigners ofc, but for instance german equivalent is not the easiest one as well. Fyi in german it's "eine Sehenswürdigkeit"

[@jellemaarten2145]

How do you say in Russian: where do you wane go? And, I wane go to Moscow. Can you typ it like you pronouns it please? Thanks!

[@russianpod101]

+guerilla guru Hello guerilla guru, you can say "Куда ты хочешь поехать" (Kuda ty knochesh` payekhat`) - "Where do you want to go" (informal) or "Куда вы хотите поехать" (Kuda vy khatite payekhat`) - "Where do you want to go" (formal) . "хочу поехать в Москву." (Ya khachu payekhat` f Maskvu) - "I want to go to Moscow" (for formal and informal situations). Team RussianPod101.com

try ВЫЛЫСЫПЫДЫСТЫЧКЫНЫ (шутошное слово, но попробуйте его произнести) :) ЦЕЦЕЦНИЦА (коробочка для содержания мух Цеце) длинношеее, вскользь, страстность and I really doubt that you pronounce CORRECTLY word "достопримечательность"

[@IgoArs]

The word "vsplyt'" doesn't actually have sound "V" in the beginning, but it's reduced to "F". It's pronounced Fsplyt', which is easier.

[@NFSl0]

I think that the word увлажняющий(moisturizing) is hard too.

[@user-oe2cc3tc5t]

If you have hard time pronouncing "clothes" just say "close". If you have hard time pronouncing "всплыть" just say it with a short "a" like "вaсплыть". If you have hard time remembering and/or pronouncing "достопримечательность" just say "интересное место".

[@melindapecseri5733]

Well, most of these words are basic for Russian studies, and I don't see any of them really hard. Maybe they are for English speakers, but not for Central Europeans :) My biggest challenge was to properly pronounce oкружающая среда

Those words are hard for English native speakers (and others), my native language is Portuguese and for me the word which is actually hard to pronounce it’s: разрыхлитель, I can say it, but I have to stop, breath and then pronounce slowly. Ры after аз it’s so hard

[@karinasowik2162]

Oh My Freaking Goodness, it's total nonsense but still sounds soooo sexy XDD And it's not just the word alone, it's fitting that word with other nonsense words together without tripping into anything lolol Can't wait for the day I'll be looking back at this present and think 'I can't believe I found Russian so hard to speak' XD

[@jazz9319]

In Russian you barely recognize a person's place of "born and bred" but there are a few accents you can momentarily get: 1. Southern/Ukrainian (almost same, 'cause Ukraine was always Russia, kind of provincial/countryside accent); 2. Northern accent (North to Moscow/not the North of Russia); 3. Caucasian accent (very funny accent); 4. Baltic/All foreigners(not Russian from Baltic) accent. That is all. Other than that you can recognize the people from low social level, not from the area. This girl sounds grew out of Russia or such low class accent. The nicest accents you can find in St. Peter-burg or a bit south of Moscow like Kaluga. That's it. I speak the perfect Russian.

[@RichieLarpa]

I hope I wasn't wrong, when I used "учитель" instead of "преподаватель"?

[@Alfy47]

There are 2 factors that make the russian words hard to pronounce, specially to latin languages and to english: a) very long words and b) certain combination of consonants which are very uncommon to us...usually a vowel is preceded or followed by one consonant and maximum by 2. This does not happens in slavic languages.

[@jazz9319]

Nope. Soft consonants and vowels also very hard ones. Bigger range of sounds. You cannot understand that unless you trained. MisteR AlfonSo
