Learning how to say the colours in Russian is very useful in many situations.

In this lesson:

• You will learn the name of the colours.
• You will learn how to say "light" and "dark". This is useful to differentiate for example between "light red" and "dark red".
• You will learn the endings of the colours for each Russian gender. In Russian nouns can be masculine, feminine and neuter. The colours have different endings for each gender.

In order to help you with the pronunciation, each word in Russian comes with a "pronunciation guide" in parenthesis, like this:

[pro-nun-ci-a-tion]

This will not express 100% the real pronunciation, but it is useful for those students who are learning how to read Russian letters.
