   Very good lesson.
   I have just one question. Does “t” sounds like “t” when it comes before “r”? Doesn’t the sound change into something like “ch” in change? I’ve thought we should pronounce the t when it occurs with r like this “ch”.

   Hi WOWskarphace,

   No, I’m an American from NJ. Just trying to pick up Russian as a second language. The Slavic languages, such as Russian and Ukranian, are BRUTAL for an English speaker. I’m using both the Rosetta Stone and Pimsleur systems. -Brian

   Oh my God, the video worked! I can roll my Rs!!! Thank you Jennifer!

   Saying “President Ronald Reagan” was the big help. I also been repeating ‘group’ as ‘gl-loup’, and ‘crazy’ as ‘cr-lazy’. Practicing these words seem to work the best. (I’m ‘trying’ to learn Russian.)

    Jennifer, have you ever tried to say the italian word “ramarro” (with the R as you have pronounced in the incorrect version of “President Ronald Reagan”)? You would say correctly, I suppose (and I think is very difficult for americans or english speaker in general)!
    Thank you for your video, they are very useful and you are a very good teacher!

    Sorry for the confusion. There is no 5c, only 5b in three parts. Just go to my playlist for English pronunciation and you’ll see all the lessons posted in order.
