KNIGA
Can you say ‘kniga’?
Kniga
And you, can you say it?
Kniga
And so Lena went on, asking each one of us in turn to pronounce this strange word. Kniga? What is this? In the end, when she was convinced all of us could satisfactorily pronounce kniga, the multi-lingual chica explained what all this was all about. She had her weekly Russian class and her students couldn’t get their tongues around the word ‘kniga’, which is Russian for ‘book’, and she spent the best part of the hour-long class trying to get her students to say ‘kniga’. She was really pissed off about all this, poor thing. But, that’s how life is, giving language lessons is not always easy even if you’re a native speaker.
