How to Speak Russian Without an English Accent

Описание: One tiny sound.
A few millimeters of tongue movement.
And your Russian accent either survives… or doesn’t.

In this video, we’re fixing the Russian soft “т’” — the subtle consonant that quietly exposes an English accent in seconds.

You’ll learn:
• how to position your tongue correctly
• why English “t” doesn’t work here
• what makes the release sound slightly different
• and how to practice it step by step

If you want your Russian to sound more natural, more precise, and less translated — this sound matters.
