   Few tips:
   - ‘r’ is ‘trilled’ (the way they pronounce it in Scotland),
   - ‘d’, ‘t’, ‘n’ aren’t pronounced on teeth as in English but the tongue is touching the area behind the teeth – it gives ‘d’ and ‘t’ very distinctive ‘mute’ sound (for Russians the corresponding English sounds actually sound like ‘dj’ and ‘tch’!)
   - try to use different intonation – not so excited and happy as Americans usually sound! Maybe, you’ll have to talk rather like a sorrowful widow or just a very calm person
   - and, of course, try to HEAR it all listening to real Russians.
   Good luck!
