Putin: p = voiceless bilabial stop; u = close back rounded; tʲ = palatalized alveolar stop; ɪ = near-close front; n = alveolar nasal. Tongue: for /l/ tap, and palatal positions for /ʲ/. Lip: rounding for /u/; Jaw: gentle opening for /a/ in Vladimir; common substitutions include non-palatalized /d/ instead of /dʲ/ and a less pronounced second syllable in Putin. ## Accent Variations - Compare US/UK/AU with rhoticity, vowel quality differences US/UK/AU: US commonly rhotic in Putin with a rhotic /r/ in the first name; UK often non-rhotic in Putin; AU typically non-rhotic too, with vowel qualities leaning toward /ɒ/ or /ɔː/ depending on speaker. Vowel quality in Vladimir: US often /ˈvlɑː.dɪ.mɪr/; UK /ˈvlə.dɪ.mɪər/; AU /ˈvlæ.dɪˌmɪən/. Rhoticity: US rhotics more pronounced; UK/UH silent r. Differences in Putin: final /n/ remains; palatalization of /d/ remains. ## Practice Sequence - 2-3 minimal pairs, syllable drills, slow-normal-fast speed, 2 context sentences - Minimal pairs: Vladimir / Vlardimir (palatalization difference); Putin / Putin (no tʲ in some accents). Syllable drills: vi-la-d̂mi- r; Pu-tin; Slow: /ˈvlɐ.dʲɪˌmʲɪər/; Normal: natural; Fast: full phrase. Context sentences: - “Vladimir Putin gave a formal address.” - “The Kremlin released Putin’s press briefing.” Speed progression from slow to normal to fast with correct intonation. ## Mastery Checklist - 3 checkpoints: articulatory positions (palatalized dʲ; labial p; alveolar t), rhyming comparisons (compare Putin with spit- in) and stress/rhythm (stress Vladimir; Putin has weaker stress; maintain sentence-level rhythm).
