Kleine Kaffeepause

Привет, друзья!  Сегодня я хочу поговорить с вами о разных акцентах у людей из разных регионов России. А также о том, как легко говорить по-русски.
Россия – это самая большая страна в мире по площади территории. Люди из разных регионов России говорят по-разному.  Можно легко понять, откуда, из какого региона России ваш собеседник. Например, у жителей Москвы есть свои особенности произношения. Если сказать по-простому, то москвичи «акают». Что это значит?  Для московского акцента характерна сильная редукция безударных гласных, в сочетании с более протяжным «а». 
На юге России люди говорят звук «х» вместо «г». Они произносят фрикативный звук «г». 
Я живу на Урале. Есть мнение, что здесь люди говорят быстро. Как вы думаете, я говорю быстро? Или это нормальный темп?
В нашей большой стране мы привыкли слышать разную речь, разные акценты.
Не нужно бояться, что когда вы будете говорить по-русски в России, то русские вас не поймут. Вы можете попросить повторить фразу или говорить медленнее. Вот несколько полезных фраз:
•	Извините, я плохо говорю по-русски. - Excusez moi, je ne parle pas bien russe. 
•	Вы говорите по-французски? - Parlez-vous français? 
•	Не могли бы вы говорить медленнее, пожалуйста. - Pouvez-vous parler plus lentement, s'il vous plaît? 
•	Вы могли бы повторить? - Pouvez-vous répéter? 
•	Повторите, пожалуйста. - Répétez, s’il vous plaît.
•	Как это сказать по-русски? - Comment dit-on cela en russe? 
Желаю вам хорошего дня! Приходите ко мне на уроки. Будем делать ваш русский язык лучше.

По-русски легко!

Разные акценты русских людей

After consonants, the vowel letter pairs а/я, э/е, о/ё, ы/и, and у/ю represent 
essentially the same vowel sound. Their only difference is that the letters in the bottom 
row tell you that the preceding consonant is palatalized, or soft.*

HARD CONSONANTS             SOFT CONSONANTS

Да-да! - Oh yes!                       дядя - uncle 
мэр - mayor                             мер - of measures 
быт - daily life                          бит - computer bit 
живот - belly                            живёт - he/she lives 
музыка - music                        мюзикл - musical (show)

* a palatalized consonant is pronounced with the blade of the tongue pressed up 
against the hard palate, it sounds like a consonant plus the [y] sound of “yes” pronounced at the exact same time.

"WHEN YOU'RE PLAYING YOUR GUITAR, MAKE BELIEVE YOU'RE PLAYING AN ACTUAL WOMAN," MISTER MANCINI TOLD ME. "GRAB HER BY THE NECK AND MAKE HER HOLLER."

My father loves jazz and has an extensive collection of records and reel-to-reel tapes he used to enjoy after returning home from work. He might have entered the house in a foul mood, but once he had his Dexter Gordon and a vodka martini, the stress melted away and everything was "Beautiful, baby, just beautiful." The instant the needle hit that record, he'd loosen his tie and become something other than the conservative engineer with a pocketful of IBM pencils embossed with the command think.

"Man, oh man, will you get a load of the chops on this guy? I saw him once at the Blue Note, and I mean to tell you that he blew me right out of my chair! A talent like that comes along only once in a lifetime. The guy was an absolute comet, and there I was in the front row. Can you imagine that?"

"Gee," I'd say. "I bet that was really interesting."

Empathy was the wrong tack, as it seemed only to irritate him.

"You don't know the half of it," my father would say. " 'Really interesting' my butt. You haven't got a clue. You could have taken a hatchet and cut the man's lips right off his face, chopped them off at the quick, and he still would have played better than anyone else out there. That's how good he was."

Because it was the music we'd grown up with, I liked to think that my sisters and I had a genuine appreciation for jazz. We preferred it over the music our friends were listening to, yet nothing we did or said could convince him of our devotion. Aside from replaying the tune on your own instrument, how could you prove you were really listening? It was as if he expected us to change color at the end of each selection.
