1) Г Pronounced as v in endings -ого and -его. вечер
2) Е Always pronounced ye at the beginning of a word, but in vecher
the middle of a word sometimes less distinctly (more like e). вчера
3) Й This letter has no distinct sound of its own. It usually vchera
lengthens the preceeding vowel. сегодня
4) О When not stressed it is pronounced like a in across. sevodnya
5) ъ, ь The hard sign (ъ) is rare and indicates a very brief завтра
pause before the next letter. The soft sign (ь, marked in the zavtra
pronunciation guide as ’) softens the preceeding consonant здесь
and adds a slight y sound: for instance, n’ would sound like zdes
ny in ‘canyon’. там
tam
