Hi Chris! I’m one of Tracie Loux’s Russian friends, so that’s how I saw this post. I have to say, I’ve heard a lot of American missionaries speak and sing in Russian, and this is definitely one of the best pronunciations I’ve heard. It’s even more impressive that you’re singing it. 🙂 My only critique would be to work on enunciating “жизнь”, like at around 0:35, and the word “Ñ‚Ñ‹” whenever it comes up. I think you pronounce it a little more like “tee”, while it should be “ti” with the i sound as in “lip” or “tip”.
But — I understood everything perfectly, which is saying a lot for a language like ours! =) I bet a lot of people are blessed by this.
I am very happy to read this. This is the kind of info that needs to be given and not the random misinformation that’s at the other blogs. Appreciate your sharing this best doc.
aw, was really wanting to hear this, really miss hearing you sing Chris!
