Most English speakers are familiar with the Russian word vodka. This..is how the correct.. pronunciation is.represented.in the EPLS Vowel Symbol System.

All Russian vowel sounds are assigned a specific non-changing symbol. When these symbols are used in conjunction with consonants and read normally, pronunciation of even the most difficult foreign word becomes incredibly EASY!

On the following page are all the EPLS vowel Symbols used in this book. They are EASY to LEARN since their sounds are familiar. Beneath each symbol are three English words which contain the sound of the symbol.

Practice pronouncing the words under each symbol until you mentally associate the correct vowel sound with the correct symbol. Most symbols are pronounced the way they look!

THE SAME BASIC SYMBOLS ARE USED IN ALL SAY IT RIGHT PHRASE BOOKS!

N This EPLS vowel symbol has been narrowed to indi-cate visually that this sound is barely pronounced. On the next page we will explain its importance.


viii

When a narrow symbol appears before any other symbol (example below) it reminds you to barely pronounce this vowel sound like the ie in fiesta.

On the previous page are all the EPLS Vowel Symbols used in this book. They are EASY to LEARN since their sounds are familiar.

On page x you will find the Cyrillic alphabet listed along with the EPLS Vowel Symbol or Consonant that represents the Cyrillic letter or letters.

EPLS has enhanced the following symbol below to visually help you recognize that this sound is shortened.

ePLs Consonants

Consonants are letters like T, D, and K. They are easy to recognize and their pronunciation seldom changes. The following pronunciation guide letters represent some Cyrillic consonants and their EPLS equivalents.

R Pronounce this EPLS letter like the rolled Spanish r.

ZH Pronounce these EPLS letters like s in measure.

LD Pronounce this EPLS letter like the ld in cold.

ZD Pronounce these EPLS letters like the letters sed in pleased.

H Pronounce this EPLS letter like the h in ha preceded by a puff of air making an aspirated H sound.

Y Pronounce this EPLS letter like the ye in yes or the ya in yacht.

MN Pronounce these EPLS letters like the mn in omni.

SHCH You have to run these four consonants together. No way around it! Try to isolate the letters in the words fishchips.

The Cyrillic alphabet has 33 letters. Below is the entire alphabet, which is easily represented by an EPLS letter or symbol. As you read through the book you will start to assimilate this alphabet. Although the Cyrillic letters are fairly consistent, pronunciation will change depending on position and various grammatical rules.


PRonUnCIatIon tIPs

• Each pronunciation guide word is broken into syllables. Read each word slowly, one syllable at a time, increasing speed as you become more familiar with the system.

• In Russian it is extremely important to emphasize certain syllables. This mark (´) over the syllable reminds you to STRESS that syllable.

• If you do not pay attention to the stressed symbol you can easily change the meaning of the word.

• In Russian the syllables following the stressed symbol tend to be spoken lightly in a faded-out manner.

• In the spoken language, the pronunciation of a particular letter will be affected by the letters in front of it or directly following.

• Take a little time to familiarize yourself with the Cyrillic letters on the previous page. Note that there are no articles such as a, an, and the in Russian.

• To perfect your Russian accent you must listen closely to Russian speakers and adjust your speech accordingly.

• The pronunciation choices in this book were chosen for their simplicity and effectiveness.
