The App can help you learning and mastering the pronunciation and handwriting of Russian.
Key features as follows:
• Include 42 standard phonetic symbols of Russian and 33 letters of Russian.
• Use the articulator animation to show the process and techniques of pronunciation of each phonetic symbol.
• Use the stroke animation to show order of handwriting of each letter.
• Select over 400 common words to aid learning the pronunciation, and provide high-quality female and male sounds.
• Provide some effective listening and pronouncing training on the pronunciation of Russian.
• Provide exclusive physical voiceprint analysis of your sounds and the standard to help understand the essence of pronunciation.
• Provide a powerful audio player that can adjust the rate of speed, arbitrary switching, single loop, list loop, and so on.
• Provide AI based voice scoring.
It’s a good idea for an App, and the example words are useful. However the actual letter sounds are not really distinguishable enough.
‘Ц’ and ‘ф’ sound like someone opening curtains or a door opening on Star Trek, are they both ‘Shhh’ ?. And ‘з’ which should sound like ‘z’ sounds more like someone being prodded, while they were asleep.
Also, I found the cutaway animation of the mouth and throat didn’t really help me. I didn’t know I had a butterfly valve in my throat, let alone how I can make it do that !
For me... showing equivalent phonetic letters in English would help more. It’s a nice idea, but needs a bit more work I think.
