Hi Zeke!

It can be hard to know the correct pronunciation of a certain form of Russian word, without simply hearing it said once or twice. For this, the website forvo (dot) com is really great - not all, but about 95% of the russian words I search for there have been recorded, spoken by a native... and let me say, Google-perevodchik makes us look like fools =) forvo is at least somewhat accurate =) Good luck in this and ask if ever any of us can help. Удачи-
