GRAMMAR
The Focus of this Lesson are the Russian Characters Я (Ya) and Ч (Che)
RUS S I ANPOD101.COM RUS S I AN ALPHABET MADE EAS Y #11 - S T RANGERS : CHE AND YA 3
Our first Stranger is Я. It looks like a backwards "R" but unfortunately, it doesn't sound similar
at all. It's almost always pronounced Ya, like "Why"-"A" in English. In addition to being a letter,
on its own it is one of the most important words in Russian: the first person pronoun, "I." In
printed form, size is the only difference between the upper and lowercase versions.
The second letter we'll learn in this lesson looks like the number 4. While it may look strange,
Ч has a pretty familiar sound. Ч usually makes a "ch" sound, but sometimes it can sound like
"sh" when used before a hard sound or at the beginning of the word. We'll go over this in
more detail later.
