Introduction to Russian:          Lesson 1

        Video 1, Activity 2 (continued)

In the video, did you hear how Ian introduced himself? He said: "Я - Иан."         It means "I am Ian".

His name in Russian begins with the letter И       , which sounds like the long [ee] sound in eel. This letter looks like the English letter N reflected in a mirror.

 

И also can be translated into English as the conjunction and. If you want to say "Anna and Ian" in Russian, it will look like this: "Анна и Иан"       .
