Learn Russian with Kira

This channel is designed to help you learn how to pronounce Russian.  Most Russian language courses address pronunciation briefly but very few actually explain exactly what to do in order to pronounce words properly.  Without specific knowledge, Russian pronunciation can be intimidating…but it doesn’t have to be!  Subscribe to learn to speak Russian beautifully, with a beautiful Russian accent!  Learn to sound Russian when you speak it!

My name is Kimberly (Fedchak) DiMattia, but my students know me as Kira.  I have an M.A. and Ph.D. from Bryn Mawr College in Russian and Second Language Acquisition, and I taught Russian at the college level for several years.  I recently published a video course called Unlocking Russian Pronunciation (unlockingrussianpronunciation.org) and the accompanying textbook is available from Kendall Hunt.  If you want to master Russian pronunciation, that's what you need.  Look for my podcast, Russian Word of the Day with Kira, on iTunes and GooglePlay!
