learn_russianI've just started learning Russian, and I've got most of the Cyrillic alphabet leanred and how to pronounce it (thankfully, I've had no trouble with Р or Х, like everyone else in my class!), but I'm still having a bit of trouble with the Ы letter.
My textbook says it's pronounced like the i in ill, but my teacher says it's pronounced like you're trying to say the ee in feet, but you're forcing your tongue to the bottom of your mouth while you do it - when I do that, it sounds like I'm pronouncing the ai in aim.
Err, can someone help, please?
