I wonder if someone might record some similar sounds for me between which I am having difficulty differentiating.
И/Ы
Ш/Щ
ЫЙ/Ы
ИЙ/И
I understand is difficult to say ы by itself, so perhaps it could be demonstrated in a word like жителы? Thanks.

Maybe someone can help also by recording it, but I have recently done one of the princeton lectures and they do quite a large audio file with different sounds.
It is the big audio which is 2.4M that you want:

Wonderful! Thanks :)
You're welcome %)
I am rather puzzled by ЫЙ and ИЙ, but I guess since they're never stressed, I can just fade them and not worry too much about how they sound?
Never stressed?Quote:

Why are you puzzled. The Й isn't very audible, so what. If you used logic, you'd realise that a "short И" after "И" is hardly gonna be the greatest of differences.
Wow, we have got wise men in here! Thank you for the infos and audio, that's a good hint to take.
Ok, so it's sometimes stressed. What do you mean it's not very audible? It's extremely audible.
A lot of books for learners even go as far as to say the й in ий and ый is not pronounced, but this isn't true. Dimitri is over emphasising it, since he is saying the sounds alone.Quote:

Just how to pronounce them, but I know ReDSanchous covered the bl/blQ thing awhile after I first posted this.
