Have you listened to sound recordings yet? If yes, and it didn't help you need a teacher/native speaker to help you. Note that having an accent doesn't mean, you won't be understood. Anything between English H and K is close enough, it's rather H with some friction. As I mentioned somewhere else Spanish J, German CH are the same. If you are in the US and can't get hold of a Russian get a Spanish/Latin American person tell you "Juan".Originally Posted by oatmealia
