How to write the letter W in English

The phonetics of English and Russian languages are similar in General, differ in the particulars. Some Russian sounds have no equivalent in the English alphabet, and Vice versa. One of striking examples – the sound "f", to denote which in the English language until recently was only vaguely similar on the pronunciation of "g". Now the sound "Zh" is designated in English with a special digraph.

Instruction

The sound "Zh" in some cases, indicated by the letter "g". In this case, after a consonant must follow the vowels from the list: “i”, “e”, “y”. To read in such cases, the letter will be like a soft "j."

Similarly read a sound of the letter “j”, but for recording specific sound she almost never used. Its scope – the words borrowed from Latin (in old Saxon it is not).

The digraph "zh" is fully consistent with the Russian sound of "W" and is used only in borrowed words: Zhukovsky, Zhenya, Zheleznogorsk.
