so in today’s class we’re using as a
focus the recent video uploaded by
President Putin of Russia maybe you saw
the video ladies and gentlemen I am
delighted to greet members and guests of
the General Assembly of the
international exhibitions Bureau so
routines main problems were
pronunciation syllable stress and I also
think the script wasn’t written by a
native English speaker so firstly
Russian pronunciation is very specific
for example if you’re Russian and you’ve
been speaking English to an English
speaker and they’re like you’re Russian
how do they know that yeah that’s
because the Russian accent is very
specific and there are certain things
which you instantly recognize as Russian
so today we’re going to focus on that
first of all we need to go and get an
English dictionary look in the
dictionary all of the words have symbols
next to them that shows you how to
correctly pronounce English words and
all of our sounds in English are
represented by those symbols it’s
confusing I know so let’s begin here the
main problems with Russian English
pronunciation are these this symbol
which is basically a this one ah and
this one oh these are called phonemes
and basically it just means the sound
doesn’t change in the mouth so let’s
look at the pronunciation of this sound
the F sound represented again by this
symbol examples when he says welcome
and this members that’s very common in
Russian to pronounce this symbol and
others with two sounds this one should
be pronounced a but as you saw he
pronounced it like yeah welcome welcome
members and members yeah it’s not like
that
it’s
one simple sound a welcome members the
next one is app represented by this
symbol so in the video he says this word
Mesa again with the year sound try to
keep it lazy just one sound ah massive
massive no massive with English
pronunciation
to be honest you have to be lazy so the
next sound is this one and the sound is
a in the videos uses the example of this
word first Universal this one assertive
and this world again this sound with the
Russian English pronunciation sounds
like a world see how in the Russian
pronunciation it changes in the mouth
from oh oh oh but no in English is just
one sound ah so remember be lazy let the
jaw relax be lazy so let’s compare first
first world world dunya result universal
30 30 the next thing applies to both
Russians and speakers of Asian languages
the R sound with the R sound the tongue
is relaxing it doesn’t touch anything in
the mouth and it doesn’t make the sound
power let greed a fear of your own we
don’t have that sound in English we
don’t use it anyway the bottom lip is
close to the top set of teeth and again
the tongue lip doesn’t do anything it’s
relaxing it’s being lazy the easy way to
remember is if you do a kissy face ruh
rah rah rah rah
however he pronounces this word
promising Sidhu perfectly
next is syllable stress this word but
exhibitions has four syllables
exhibitions the stress is on the
exhibitions next one
Diana Omega the stressed syllable should
be not dynamic for few all that was
close
it’s the opposite fulfil the stressed
syllable is fill finally I don’t know
who wrote the script I imagine they
weren’t a native English speaker some of
the parts sounded a bit unnatural at
times the speech was given in a formal
yet direct way so for example when he
said this we shall welcome guests from
150 nations of the world with pride and
dignity it sounds better to say we will
welcome guests remember it’s an offer
will is used for offers and that sounds
better in this case however in the
general context of the speech it’s more
formal so maybe it might sound better in
the passive voice guests will be
welcomed so thanks a lot for watching
