    Quick question, with мягкий знак, what exactly does it make softer? The entire word? Because it sounded like it only affected the о in конь

    I had a lot of trouble with the Russian letter “bl”, as you point out there is no English equivalent.

    The nearest sound myself and my Russian girlfriend could come up with was a French word (so a lot of western European English speakers should recognise it!).

    The french word is “soeur” (sister) which sounds almost exactly the same as the Russian word Cblp (cheese).

    Having experimented it wasn’t hard to drop the s and r front and back and keep the sound in the middle. It might help with people struggling.

    Thanks for the lessons so far, they’ve been a great help.

    Thank you very much for posting these videos. I have just started Russian classes at university, and my teacher goes very fast. Having watched your videos, I can now help my fellow students who seem to be very confused. These have helped me so, so much. You have done a great job!
