NADEZHDA pronunciation help
Replies
As an American, I pronounce it na-DEZH-da (the 'zh' being the 'j' sound of French). I heard it from a well-informed friend, so I suppose this pronounciation is close to the authentic Russian one.
In Bulgaria we say nah-DEZH-dah. I *think* the Russians give a softer 'e' and say something more like nah-DYEZH-dah.
