I believe "Jenny" was introduced for teaching alphabet and reading. You know the name and see it written in Cyrillic.
I'm sick and tired of Jenny. I know everything else except how to spell the proper noun, Dzhennee doesn't sound like Jenny to me, and I'll keep getting those wrong until I just copy paste the name into the box.
That's because native English speakers like us think that "j" is a single sound, when in fact it is two, "d" + "zh". Listen carefully and you'll be able to hear the "d" at the start. Compare "ej" with "edge". They should sound identical to you. The letters "ge" in this word are pronounced "zh".
This is a very helpful explanation for why the "дж" combination is used for what we understand to be the "j" sound.

If the [dʒ] sound existed in Russian, the Russians probably would describe it as a voiced counterpart for «ч» (as «г» is a voiced counterpart for «к», for example), and treat it as a single sound too. But there is no [dʒ] in Russian, so we have to use [d]+[ʐ] instead — «дж».
Poor Jenny made a bad first impression. Everytime her name pops up in the further lessons, someone brings up this unfortunate luggage incident:(
Could I also say : Дженни, багаж где? Ir dies it have to be Дженни, где багаж?
I think you can, but it would be expressed differently, as if you were annoyed or angry.
It means "to be located". So you could say "Дженни, где находиться багаж" meaning "Where is the luggage located", just not in a casual conversation I think.
Всегда в заданиях по изучению английского определённый артикль "the" переводился как "это", "этот". Здесь такой вариант не был принят.. вопрос ведь про определённый багаж задан
Why does it say i have typo when i writr Jenny as Дженни and Luggage as багаж?
Use a Russian keyboard, any phone can get this and any computer can get this as an on-screen keyboard.
You are learning Russian...
It's unfortunate that you can't get the Russian keyboard on the phone. I can find, copy and paste russian words, but not English names that someone wrote in Russian alphabet. It's not a functional app on the phone.
You should be able to go to your settings and there shoudl be a thingy that says "language and types" click that and you should be able to find it. It may work differently with iPhone though.....
Where is the cyrillic keyboard? How am I supposed to type in Russian?
Ffs duo, do i need to use punctuation or not?? Choose one or the other but not both
Why not это багаж? I'm confused as it doesn't say "the baggage" (general) but "this baggage" (specific).
How am I supposed to get to a keyboard that will let me answer these correctly I always get everything right until it's the part where it wants me to spell in Russian
how do you spell backpack, and Jenny in Russian with an English keyboard?
