We have no doubts you have experienced this problem before (formulated one way or another):
“I have been learning Russian for so long but I still have a hard time understanding native speakers, or being understood by them”.
Well, we can assure you, it is NOT your fault! The problem lies in the bad habit to study languages almost solely from texts. Does it make sense to start speaking a language if you cannot hear it properly yet? If you do not know which sounds make up the language? If you do not know how to pronounce them? We believe it does not.
Instead, we offer you to learn good pronunciation from the start, with :
