"Bud'te sil'ny"

Almost impossible to explain as several sounds here are not present in English alphabet.

Where I put apostrophes, you have to pronounce a softer previous letter (d and l). Examples: pronounse d as in "due", l as in "listen".

You have to emphasize "u" in first word (pronounced as "you" Wink

Wink

, and "y" in second word. "Y" is pronounced as "yh", kind of like in "duh!" (in "duh" it is closer to "a", in the word above it is a harder sound with silent "h"...kinda difficult to explain).

шери, тебе надо тутором становиться. хорошо может получиться. Только вместо твоеи писанины сделай sound file, ато даже я не понял что ты пытался обьяснить

..."Y" is pronounced as "yh".. what the f.. is that?
