Common Mistake for English Speakers Who Learn Russian: Soft and Hard Consonants

Hi, guys! My name is Pasha Kovalenko. I teach Russian for English speakers. In this video I'm talking about the difference between soft and hard consonants, or in other words palatalization. I found it to be quite tricky for native English speakers to pronounce soft consonants in Russian words. Here I'm explaining how to pronounce them. If there is a topic, grammar or an aspect of phonetics of the Russian language you want me to explore, feel free to leave a suggestion in the comments. See you in the future videos!
