Baby Steps Здравствуйте! Меня зовут Эрин. I find myself dreaming in Russian. I don't know what I'm saying, but I'm sure it is hilarious nonsense. I have been practicing my hello "Здравствуйте" which I believe is pronounced something like 'zdrah-stvooy-tye.' I am finding difficulting in putting it together. It ends up sounding more like 'zih-draw-stih-vooy-cheh.' I'm also not even sure if the ending 'e' needs to sound like 'ye' or 'eh' or 'ee.' I've tried listening to it, but it seems like each speaker has their own pronunciation, or at the very least it goes so fast that I have trouble picking out the sounds.
