Soft Sign (ь) vs Hard Sign (ъ): Russian

If you’re anything like me (a beginner grasping at straws trying to learn Russian) then the soft vs hard sign concept is very foreign to you. The signs are not sounds of their own— they are clues telling you how to pronounce the consonant that precedes it. Here is a quick overview of soft vs hard signs:

Soft Sign (ь)

When ь is present after a consonant, this is your indication to palatalize the sound (aka soften). The middle of the tongue should rise toward the roof the the mouth.

Example: стиль - style, фильм - film

Hard Sign (ъ)

When ъ is present after a consonant, this indicates a slight break or pause in the word where the hard sign is located.

Example: объект - object

If anyone has any further resources for this, it would be greatly appreciated! I understand the concept of this, but not entirely grasping the pronunciation. Any YouTube videos or audio lessons would be very helpful! Also feel free to comment more tips for me on this topic!

How To Identify Russian Verbs: Infinitive Verb Endings

While reading in Russian, I often find myself wondering how to know which words are verbs, nouns, etc. Through my studies of various other languages, I know that infinitive verbs almost always have the same ending (usually a variation of 1-3 different types). So, here is a quick (very generic) cheat sheet for identifying a verb in a Russian sentence (this is not a conjugation post— that will come soon!)

-ть → example verbs: говорить — to speak, читать — to read, работать —to work

-ти → example verbs: идти — to go, нести — to bring

-чь (not as common) → example verbs: беречь —to protect, лечь —to lie down

If you are familiar with any other general rules of how to identify verbs in a sentence, please feel free to add! Again, this is very generalized and is not a one-size-fits-all sort of deal-- it's just to help me identify different parts of the sentence as I build up my foundation.

About Me!

Hello again, Langblrs! It sure has been a minute and a lot has changed since I last logged in! I’ve made a few posts already since I’ve gotten back into studying Russian, but I’m not going to get ahead of myself. Let’s start with the basics:

I’m Sisi (see-see), I’m 25 years old, and I live in the northeast USA. I’ve studied languages in school and autonomously for as long as I can remember. I graduated from college in 2021 with two Bachelors Degrees— one in Political Science and the other in Spanish. During my time at my university, I took classes in Spanish (of course, it was one of my majors), French, Arabic, Italian, and German. Outside of my university, I have studied Russian and Norwegian. I was fortunate enough to study abroad during undergrad as well, so I spent a good portion of 2019 in Granada, Spain perfecting my Spanish to fluency.

Fast forward a few years, I am now a Flight Attendant with the #1 airline in the US and I couldn’t be happier. I have traveled everywhere— North America (I just saw the Aurora Borealis in Alaska!), Central and South America, Africa, Europe, Asia, anywhere you can imagine! I get paid to see the world which has always been a dream of mine. Traveling and interacting with people of various backgrounds, cultures, and languages has been the best experience of my life.

Now more personally, I am vegan! I care deeply about the earth and ALL its inhabitants— every life holds the same value. This sentiment of total equality carries through to my political and world views as well.

Well, that’s pretty much the general gist of who I am. I promise I’m not intimidating so please feel free to pop into my inbox and introduce yourself— I love language-learning buddies! This will be a Russian langblr but I will gladly follow/interact with profiles of any of the languages I’ve mentioned I’ve studied as I can always use more practice!Sorry for the long post, I just wanted to put a persona behind this blog for all of you. I’m happy to be a part of the langblr community!

Hey there ❤️ first of all, I love your blog! I study Russian at university and I’m still a beginner, and I’ve noticed that, when it comes to languages, listening to people talk really helps me memorising words and helps me with the accent, too. I know it’s a strange request, but could you please recommend me some nice/helpful Russian songs? Or maybe also children’s tv shows that I can watch with subtitles? If you want to/if you can, if not thank you anyway and have a lovely day ✨

Hi, darling! Thank you so muchhhh! XX Of course, I’ll be glad to help you c:Here they are finally!
