pronunciation help needed :) 'я' и 'г'
I've pronounced 'я' in 'язык' like 'i' as in 'simple' not like just Я.
How about 'я' in 'японский'? Does it sound the same?

I pronounce г like 'х' as in 'хорошо', but then I wonder if it's right and if there are some rules about it..

Thank you!I forgot to mention легко.. I know how г or я is pronounced, but they sound different under some letter combinations. г in легко..that's where I paused to think about its pronunciation rules..

Answer

it's much more better to hear from native speaker of Russian than to read some description of pronouns.

Answer

я  sounds as ᅣ
as for г it depends
usually it's like english "g"
and it sounds like "в (v)" in such endings like  -ого (ex: всего, хорошего)

Answer

Г is like G in "google, good, god"

I think Я in "японский" would be pronounced like Е in "привЕт"
