One of our region try-out pieces is called "Hvalite Imia Ghospodne"

On the first word, would it be pronounced ch-val-yee-tye (with a "k" sound in the ch) or huh-val-yee-tye

If you've seen this piece and know the other words. I would greatly appreciate any other tips on this piece, especially in pronunciation. Our director has done tons of Italian and Latin, but I have no experience in russian.

Thank you.
No answers? Please....? You don't know it but I'm batting my eyes at you... lol. Contest is coming up and I can't get this wrong

my name is: surname: Avi last name: Haltovsky
the pronunciation is: 1. Aa-vi 2. hal-tov-skee

thanx

I would like a link to a website that can translate words from english to russian with either a small recording of the pronunciation or just spelled out in english phonetically. Thank you!

I love the English translations of French, Russian, and Spanish novels. Since I have never studied a foreign langauage, the pronunciation of the character's names have often been a mystery.

I'm learning Russian and am practicing translating English into Russian. However, I'm having trouble with some of the rules of pronunciation. I know that O stressed is a short O sound, and unstressed it is A. But when do I know when it is stressed or unstressed? As in the case of words such as Wolf- волк. Is is pronounced Volk, or Valk?

I've been wondering this for years, Polish is easy, but Russian takes tongue and throat work. Chinese is tonal, writing system is difficult, the pronunciation though is somewhat easy, but thats my opinion. Do you agree that Russian is the hardest language. I'm asking those who have experiences with languages or regular people who think they can answer this question.
