I suppose you have Ъ and Ь in mind. They have no sound so we just don't pronounce them. :)Quote:

I'm sure there is more detailed explanation in your textbook (you do have one, don't you?) :)
sure I do! :o *hides* :roll:
You had better get some CD's to help your pronounciation. I suggest these because they are an extremely good deal, they're free.

EDIT:
and this
im having lots of trouble downloading them :cry:
I just tried to download and they are still good to download. TRy again/ Did you click on "free" and then you have to wait for the countdown to get to '0"? Sh!t if I can do it and I am a retard when it comes to computers..........
it downloaded this time but my computer cant open the files I have to buy a program that can open them. :(
What kind of files are they? Just zip files right? Perhaps you can get a free or trial program at downloads.com
They are RAR files - WinZip can handle them (I think). If not, there is a free-to-try program called WinRar that will open them. Go to www.download.com and do a search for WinRar if you are having trouble.
