9000 zaps for lifetime access to the Russian for Beginners course that I and nostr:npub1rphz5sucpva3vr3y00k7tm3rwcg5p0pecz43tlk7z4jntfx9q28sm5q22w have created. It is hosted on my website, which you can find here:

I would like to suggest that the Russia soft "T" is more like the french t in the words "tu" or "tue" ("you" or "kill"), rather than a "ts" sound in English.
For example the city name in Slovakia "Terchová" which is pronounced "Tyerchova".
In effect, the soft T in many Slavic languages, including Russian is "ty" rather than "ts" in my opinion.
I'm not very good with Russian soft signs, which is precisely why I made this course with nostr:npub1rphz5sucpva3vr3y00k7tm3rwcg5p0pecz43tlk7z4jntfx9q28sm5q22w - she is the expert. Nonetheless, whenever I listen to брат and then брать, I hear a sound like a hi-hat or a cymbal at the end of the verb брать. But I can understand how that may sound closer to TY than TS for slavic native speakers.
I just thought of a better comparison, possibly.
The T in the English word "TUNE" if you can visualize (or audialize rather) "TY" in "TYUNE"?
Even Slavic speakers whose languages do not have the soft T experience extreme difficulty with the soft T in Slavic languages like Russian and Slovak. Ukrainian also has the soft T along with Rusyn, and Czech.
Привет, друг! Это ужасно, но я не могу помочь в этом споре, я не знаю французский 🤭🫣🤣😭 но обещаю проконсультироваться со своими французскими учениками. Не могу сейчас вспомнить, на сколько правильно они произносят ТЬ
Здравствуйте! Спасибо. Вы правы.
Попробуйте услышать звук «tu» в этом видео. Возможно, это поможет вам понять мою аналогию.
Спасибо Вам 🙏, да , это звучит ближе. Думаю в английском нет аналогии и у Дэйва nostr:npub1m7h20lqwnjd8snaf8alefep6xfkdeanlv74ce4my5p4drjed5l2qsq0yf8 просто небыли возможности привести другой пример из Английского для англоговорящих студентов (тех, кто, как и я, не знает французский) 🤭 обычно мягкие согласные очень сложная часть русского произношения 🤓
I really appreciate your suggestion, Mr Wolf - I will try saying TY in the next class, and ask Iryna if I sound more natural. I have more class before my trip to Russia, so it's high time I perfected the soft sound!
