Lesson 11. Soft consonant letters and sounds

We continue the series of lessons in the series “Learning to Read Russian. Today you will learn about soft consonant letters and sounds. Remember the rule: when a consonant sound б, в, г, д, з, к, л, м, н, п, р, с, т, ф, х and a soft vowel sound (я, ё, ю, е, и) are combined, the consonant sounds soft too. In addition, you will repeat the words you have already learned, as well as learn new words in which the consonants and vowels sound hard.

The vocabulary for this lesson:

  • офис / office;
  • вино / wine;
  • агент / agent;
  • фильм / movie;
  • кино / cinema;
  • дизайнер / designer;
  • театр / theatre.

 

Softness in the transcription is indicated by an apostrophe after the corresponding letter: [ф’ил’м].
