Additional resource – Patreon Podcast: students can sign up to get a podcast with oral pronunciation exercises delivered directly via text in the US or via email several times a week (Mon-Fri most weeks). Each week I focus on how to pronounce a different sound (т/ть in word-final position last week!) and I offer sentences for beginners and advanced students at https://www.patreon.com/learnrussianwithkira.
