RUSSIAN PRONUNCIATION AND SPELLING
The Russian alphabet comprises 33 letters. But there are more sounds than letters in Russian.
▐Part I. RUSSIAN SOUNDS
As in any other language, sounds in Russian fall into vowels and consonants. The difference between those lies in that while in the pronunciation of vowels the outgoing air passes freely through the mouth cavity, in the pronunciation of consonants the outgoing air meets with various obstructions formed in the mouth cavity. All Russian vowels are voiced, whereas the consonants may be either voiced or voiceless. All Russian vowels are generally syllabic, whereas the consonants are not. Speech consists of syllables. A syllable is a sound or a number of sounds pronounced at one breath. The syllabic sound is pronounced more vigorously than the other sounds of the syllable. There can be only one syllabic sound in a syllable. All other sounds in a syllable are non-syllabic. Thus, in the word "ходит" there are 2 syllables, two syllabic sounds (o, u). The first syllable contains one non-syllabic sound, the second - two (д , т).
RUSSIAN VOWEL SOUNDS
The character of a vowel sound depends primarily on the position of the tongue. Vowels are classified according to (1) what part of the tongue articulates them and (2) the height of the tongue in the mouth. According to the articulating part of the tongue the vowels are classified into back (у,о), central (ы, а) and front (и,э) vowels. In pronouncing the back vowels, the back part of the tongue is raised towards the back of the palate. In pronouncing the central vowels the central part of the tongue is raised towards the central part of the palate. In pronouncing the front vowels, the central part of the tongue is raised towards the front of the palate.
According to the height of the tongue in their pronunciation the vowels are divided into open (а), half-open (э, о) and close (и, ы, у). In pronouncing the open vowels, the tongue lies low and is spread flat in the mouth, in pronouncing the half-open vowels, it is not raised very high, while in pronouncing the close vowels, the tongue is raised very high in the mouth cavity. Depending on what part of the tongue is raised and to what height, the size and form of the mouth cavity (which acts as a resonator) are changed.
In pronouncing the vowels о , y not only the position of the tongue is important, but the work of the lips as well. In articulating o the lips are rounded, and in pronouncing y they are not only rounded but also slightly protruded.

RUSSIAN GRAMMAR
▐ Part I I. THE NOUN
The main grammatical categories of the Russian noun are gender, number and case.
The Gender of the Noun
Gender is one of the most characteristic features of the noun. All Russian nouns fall into three genders: masculine, feminine and neuter. The gender of noun denoting persons or certain animals is determined by the sex of the persons or animals they denote; the grammatical gender of other nouns is determined by their endings. The gender of the nouns denoting inanimate objects ending in a soft consonant should be memorized, e.g. полдень (m), боль (f), день (m), тень (f).
The gender of nouns is expressed in their agreement, i.e., in the adjectives, most of the pronouns (местоимения), the ordinal numerals (порядковые числительные) and past tense verbs changing their endings according to the gender of the noun they refer to.
The Number of the Noun
Nouns may be singular or plural. A number of nouns are used only in the singular: a) nouns denoting various materials and substances, b) nouns denoting vegetables, cereals, berries, crops; c) collective nouns; d) abstract nouns; e) nouns denoting the cardinal points (сторона света) and the months of the year. Certain nouns from this group are occasionally used in the plural, but the lexical meaning of the plural is somewhat different from that of the singular: литературные чтения - literary recitals; радости жизни - life's joys.
The following words are used only in the plural: a) nouns denoting objects consisting of two similar parts: ножницы, очки; b) a number of words in common use, such as деньги, духи, каникулы, сливки, т.д.
The word часы in the sense of a clock, a watch is used only in the plural; in the sense of hours it is used in both singular and plural.
The word очки in the sense of spectacles is used only in the plural; in the sense of points (in games) it is used both in singular and plural: Я потерял очко.

Синонимия (synonymy) краткой и полной форм прилагательных в атрибутивной функции невозможна. Синонимичное их употребление возможно только при использовании обеих форм в роли сказуемого. Однако и в этой функции полная и краткая формы далеко не всегда синонимичны.
1. Смысловое различие находит свое выражение в том, что некоторые краткие формы прилагательных резко отличаются от соответствующих полных своим значением: Совет хороший. – Девушка хороша собой.
2. Прилагательные, обозначающие постоянное свойство предметов или служащие терминологическими обозначениями признаков, не могут употребляться в краткой форме: Цветы в вазе живые. Эта стена глухая. Краткие формы обычно отражают временные признаки: Он глух к моим мольбам. Она больна. Однако, в некоторых случаях краткая форма может обозначать и постоянную характеристику объекта: Она очень привлекательна.
3. В других случаях различие между двумя формами прилагательного выражается в том, что полная форма обозначает абсолютный признак, не связанный с конкретной обстановкой, а краткая – относительный признак, проявляющийся в конкретной ситуации: ноша тяжелая (вообще). – Ноша тяжела (для ребенка, старика).
4. В ряде фразеологических сочетаний (set expressions) используются только краткие формы: взятки гладки, все живы-здоровы, у страха глаза велики.
5. Грамматическое различие между формами состоит в том, что краткая форма обладает способностью синтаксического управления, а полная – нет: Он был болен ангиной. Все было готово к отъезду.
6. Стилистическое различие между обеими формами качественных прилагательных проявляется, во-первых, в оттенке категоричности, присущем кратким формам, и оттенке смягченного выражения, присущем полным формам; во-вторых, в книжном характере первых и межстилевом, чаще разговорном характере вторых: Глупая ты, Оля. – Ты глупа, Оля.

NUMERALS
In Russian there are cardinal numerals, ordinal numerals and collective ones.
Collective numerals are used with a) masculine and neuter nouns denoting persons (двое детей, пятеро рабочих); b) nouns used only in the plural (трое ножниц).
Russian numerals are declined. Ordinal numerals are declined as adjectives, but cardinal numerals have certain peculiarities in their declension.
Numerals agree with the noun they refer to in all the cases except for the nominative and the accusative.
Cardinal numerals do not change according to number or gender, with the exception of один, два, оба, полтора.
The following numerals may be used in the plural: тысяча, миллион, миллиард. These numerals are declined as nouns.
Ordinal numerals are used (a) to denote the denominator (знаменатель)
of a fraction: одна пятая; (b) to denote time: четверть пятого; (c) to denote dates: седьмого июля.

RUSSIAN PRONUNCIATION AND SPELLING
The Russian alphabet comprises 33 letters. But there are more sounds than letters in Russian.
▐Part I. RUSSIAN SOUNDS
As in any other language, sounds in Russian fall into vowels and consonants. The difference between those lies in that while in the pronunciation of vowels the outgoing air passes freely through the mouth cavity, in the pronunciation of consonants the outgoing air meets with various obstructions formed in the mouth cavity. All Russian vowels are voiced, whereas the consonants may be either voiced or voiceless. All Russian vowels are generally syllabic, whereas the consonants are not. Speech consists of syllables. A syllable is a sound or a number of sounds pronounced at one breath. The syllabic sound is pronounced more vigorously than the other sounds of the syllable. There can be only one syllabic sound in a syllable. All other sounds in a syllable are non-syllabic. Thus, in the word "ходит" there are 2 syllables, two syllabic sounds (o, u). The first syllable contains one non-syllabic sound, the second - two (д , т).
RUSSIAN VOWEL SOUNDS
The character of a vowel sound depends primarily on the position of the tongue. Vowels are classified according to (1) what part of the tongue articulates them and (2) the height of the tongue in the mouth. According to the articulating part of the tongue the vowels are classified into back (у,о), central (ы, а) and front (и,э) vowels. In pronouncing the back vowels, the back part of the tongue is raised towards the back of the palate. In pronouncing the central vowels the central part of the tongue is raised towards the central part of the palate. In pronouncing the front vowels, the central part of the tongue is raised towards the front of the palate.
According to the height of the tongue in their pronunciation the vowels are divided into open (а), half-open (э, о) and close (и, ы, у). In pronouncing the open vowels, the tongue lies low and is spread flat in the mouth, in pronouncing the half-open vowels, it is not raised very high, while in pronouncing the close vowels, the tongue is raised very high in the mouth cavity. Depending on what part of the tongue is raised and to what height, the size and form of the mouth cavity (which acts as a resonator) are changed.
In pronouncing the vowels о , y not only the position of the tongue is important, but the work of the lips as well. In articulating o the lips are rounded, and in pronouncing y they are not only rounded but also slightly protruded.

RUSSIAN GRAMMAR
▐ Part I I. THE NOUN
The main grammatical categories of the Russian noun are gender, number and case.
The Gender of the Noun
Gender is one of the most characteristic features of the noun. All Russian nouns fall into three genders: masculine, feminine and neuter. The gender of noun denoting persons or certain animals is determined by the sex of the persons or animals they denote; the grammatical gender of other nouns is determined by their endings. The gender of the nouns denoting inanimate objects ending in a soft consonant should be memorized, e.g. полдень (m), боль (f), день (m), тень (f).
The gender of nouns is expressed in their agreement, i.e., in the adjectives, most of the pronouns (местоимения), the ordinal numerals (порядковые числительные) and past tense verbs changing their endings according to the gender of the noun they refer to.
The Number of the Noun
Nouns may be singular or plural. A number of nouns are used only in the singular: a) nouns denoting various materials and substances, b) nouns denoting vegetables, cereals, berries, crops; c) collective nouns; d) abstract nouns; e) nouns denoting the cardinal points (сторона света) and the months of the year. Certain nouns from this group are occasionally used in the plural, but the lexical meaning of the plural is somewhat different from that of the singular: литературные чтения - literary recitals; радости жизни - life's joys.
The following words are used only in the plural: a) nouns denoting objects consisting of two similar parts: ножницы, очки; b) a number of words in common use, such as деньги, духи, каникулы, сливки, т.д.
The word часы in the sense of a clock, a watch is used only in the plural; in the sense of hours it is used in both singular and plural.
The word очки in the sense of spectacles is used only in the plural; in the sense of points (in games) it is used both in singular and plural: Я потерял очко.
