Today’s free lesson will teach you some basic words for clothing in Russian. Listen to the pronunciation of the Russian words and practice saying them aloud until you feel confident.
With these Russian clothing words under your belt (so to speak!) you'll be able to describe what someone is wearing, or what you're looking for when shopping for clothes in Russia.
Resources for further reading:
Одежда (adezhda) means “clothes or garments” in general, and the following short list of essential items will give you shopping power when it comes to asking for what you want.
Rocket Record lets you perfect your Russian pronunciation. Just listen to the native speaker audio and then use the microphone icon to record yourself. Once you’re done, you’ll get a score out of 100 on your pronunciation and can listen to your own audio playback. (Use a headset mic for best results.) Problems? Click here!
