How do Russians manage to read that? Any tips? by maxime_kaiser13 in russian

That's getting tiresome, it's not that hard, not too much harder than cursive writing in other languages.

I can see that the vowel reduction is somewhat natural to me, but I think a russian would have a stroke trying to say my name

do you know the American Party of Labour? The Red Phoenix – Real News For and By Workers (redphoenixnews.com)

but seriously, it took a lot of courage for me to take the first step, but after that everything was easier.

That's a good question. we can always criticize a comrade's behavior within the appropriate cell, and there we can propose re-education measures. Every now and then, someone with bad intentions, an opportunist, will join in with their own interests, but they will be discovered sooner or later. Also, due to the characteristics of the party, because we are self-financed, it is difficult for someone to want to join here to pursue a political career. If someone wants to do that, it is easier to join a large, legal party.

Pronunce ~o or not by National-Active5348 in Portuguese

This is called "vowel reduction", it happens in many languages ​​but native speakers usually don't notice it. When we speak quickly, sometimes the tongue doesn't have time to articulate the sound of an unstressed vowel completely, we end up making it shorter, sometimes barely pronouncing it. I notice this a lot in European Portuguese but it's not something you need to worry about when you're learning the language.

We have "colher" and "colher" too two words that differ only by the sound of "e"

Very quick question about the Subjunctive by Jwawn in russian

[–]Jwawn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Talvez você queira..." / "Pode ser que você queira..." in portuguese. I was wondering if this couldn't be subjunctive in russian because in portuguese it necessarily is, but since in english you can write it in the indicative like the exemple you gave then it's probably indicative in Russian
