    impossible sounds

    Привет!

    Can you please listen to the following clip. I'm not sure if I'm pronouncing the following words properly. I'm especially unsure about the -ии and -ий endings, aswell as the -иям, -ием endings (are they meant to sound basically the same? )...

    здание, желание
    здания, аудитория, желания
    зданию, желанию, аудиторию
    зданием, желанием, аудиторией
    зданиям, желаниям, аудиториям
    зданиями, желаниями, аудиториями
    зданиях, желаниях, аудиториях
    здании, желании, аудитории
    зданий, желаний, аудиторий


    Оh yeh, am I pronouncing the же correctly?

    Argh..... almost a year and a half and I still don't know how to say basic stuff like this....

    THanks

    Good! I'd say VERY GOOD.
    But you pronounce "же" too softly. You should pronounce it like "жэ"

    Да, буква "ж" опять смахивает на "з"
    И "д" звучит слишком по-английски. Мы произносим чётче.
    In Russian, all nationalities and their corresponding languages start with a lower-case letter.

    My example for basurero's words. Bad mic spoiled my "ж" a bit (air noise) but that's ok! Anyway I pronounce it as "ш".

    -- Нет, Я кот Васька :-/

    Thanks everyone.

    Here's another try. I've tried to pronounce the "d" stronger, and the "zhe" less soft.... is it any better?

    basurero, "ж" НАМНОГО лучше! Молодец!!
    И слово "желание", и "здание" - супер.

    Только в слове "аудитория" ты произносишь "ауди" чисто по-английски. Видимо, потому что в английском есть слова с этим же корнем, и тебе трудно перестроиться на другое произношение.

    Круто! Если бы я не знал, я бы никогда не подумал, что слова "рот, рте и так далее" произносил не русский.
    Звучит чисто по-русски, только может быть слегка мягко. Но и русские есть, которые говорят очень мягко.

    "Аудитория" стала получше, но мне все равно не нравится. :P

    Остальное и правда ОЧЕНЬ здорово, кроме, пожалуй, последнего слова - "ртами".
    Тебя выдаёт то, как ты произносишь окончание "-ми". Звук "м" недостаточно мягкий, и получается что-то среднее между "ми" и "мы", то есть английское "-my"

    В слове "Аудитория" тебе нужно четче произносить гласную "у" . Ты ее почти не произносишь. У тебя получается "Адитория".
    Слово Рот произносишь замечательно

    Open this forum page, wait until all the sound files have loaded. Then go to your Temporary Internet Files folder and find these files (endings.mp3, fbas1.wav).
    Please correct my mistakes if you can, especially article usage.
