Ukrainian Sounds Missing in English

ч [tʃ]

English speakers often substitute the softer English 'ch' as in 'church'; instead keep the tongue tip down and release a crisp stop.

и [ɪ]

English speakers usually replace it with the 'ee' of 'see'; produce a lax, centralized vowel closer to the 'i' in 'bit' but without tensing.

ь [ʲ]

English speakers tend to ignore it or add an extra 'y' sound; instead soften the preceding consonant by raising the tongue toward the palate without a separate syllable.

в [β]

English speakers often use a full 'v' or 'w'; make a light bilabial fricative with both lips almost touching, like a very soft 'v'.

Ukrainian Words That Trip People Up

sˈɛrpɛɲ The initial 'с' is a plain 's', and 'нь' softens the final 'n'.

tʃˈɛrβɛɲ The 'ч' is a crisp 'ch' sound, and 'нь' softens the final 'n'.

lɪst̪ˈopad The 'л' is a clear 'l', and the stress falls on the second syllable rather than the first as English speakers expect.

bˈɛrɛzɛɲ The 'з' is a plain 'z', and 'нь' softens the final 'n'.

siːmdɪsjˈat̪ The 'і' is long, and 'д' is dental; the 'мд' cluster is pronounced without an extra vowel.

βiːsiːmdˈɛsjat̪ The initial 'в' is a soft bilabial sound, and the 'і' vowels are long.

Hear the Difference

mˈat̪ɪ mˈɪt̪ɪ мати uses a broad 'a' while мити uses a short 'ɪ'; English speakers tend to swap or merge these vowels.

kˈiːt̪ kˈɪt̪ кіт has a long 'iː' while кит has a short 'ɪ'; English speakers usually ignore the length contrast.

pˈɪt̪ɪ pˈiːt̪ɪ пити has a short 'ɪ' while піти has a long 'iː'; English speakers tend to merge the two lengths.
