👋 Hello, Jim and other beautiful people who are struggling with the Russian language!

🔻As you could have noticed, almost all Russian words in my posts contain:

1️⃣ a Russian word in Cyrillic 

2️⃣ [ how the word is pronounced in English written with ENGLISH letters ]  in square brackets

3️⃣ 🇬🇧 the translation into English

4️⃣ 🎧🗣⬇️ my voice message with pauses between the words in the comments to the post, which you can listen to several times to practice.

🔻So, you can both learn a written form of a Russian word and the way it's pronounced by a native speaker.

❗The exceptions are #reading_rules posts. There have been 16 posts so far. You could easily find them when you just tap on the hashtag #reading_rules. The first post with the RUSSIAN ALPHABET was published on 21 August. Let me know if you can't find it🙏.

😎 Reading is crucial for your further learning. I know it as I'm a certified language teacher. That's why I pay so much attention to the #reading_rules.

Hugs!🤗

Ба́бье ле́то [ ˈbabjye ˈleta ] Indian summer

Why ба́бье (women's)❓

From the words:

▪️Ба́ба [ˈbaba] (colloquial) a woman
▪️Ба́бы [ˈbabɨ/y] women

🍁Autumn warming coincides with the end of field work; at this time, women usually took up household chores and prepared for winter.

🍁In Rus', “Ба́бье ле́то” was also called “Marfа’s summer,” and for women it meant the period of preparing ripened fruits for the winter, that is, “women’s work.”
