Pronunciation both verbal and written.
I am beginning to learn Russian, and I have a very small vocabulary already due to a Russian grandmother. I find the websites where you can click and hear the words and letters helpful, however, I am still getting very confused. Some of the sounds are so new to me that I don't even know how to begin with pronunciation. Does anyone know where I can find a site that lets you listen to the words and shows you phonetically how to say them?

Pronunciation both verbal and written
Ramyfishler says never pronounce Russian words in an English accent. But isn't it important to pronounce the words clearly - no matter what nationality & accent you have - so that Russian people get the words you are saying. If you can get the accent of course it is great & when people get it right it sounds cool (I wish I could) but I pronounce Russian with my native accent and the Russians I spoke to - to my surprise - understood me fine.
