Journey to the castle

There are only six vowels in stressed position: [а], [о], [у], [э], [и], [ы]. 

The Russian hard consonants correspond to the English consonants.
However, the Russian consonant /п / resembles the English /р / but it is never aspirated. The consonant [t ] is also never aspirated.

Don’t forget that in the articulation of the Russian /т /, /д /, /н / the tip of the tongue is pressed against the teeth ridge but against the back of the upper incisors!
