Typical Phonetic Mistakes of Arab Students Studying Russian as a Foreign Language

The aim is to identify and systematize the typical phonetic errors of Arab students studying Russian as a foreign language, related both to the peculiarities of the phonetic system of the Russian language and the interference of skills characteristic of pronunciation in their native language.

Methods. The following research methods were used: observation, comparison, theoretical analysis and generalization, aimed at identifying the most typical phonetic mistakes of Arab students in the process of teaching them the phonetics of Russian as a foreign language.

Results. The article deals with examples of the interference of native Arabic on the process of mastering the system of vowels, consonants and stress that foreign students encounter in the process of studying Russian as a foreign language. Such difficulties appear to be a consequence of the specific features of the phonetic system of the Russian language as well as the students' native Arabic language. At the same time, the characteristic difficulties in mastering the sound system of the Russian language as a foreign language by Arab students can be systematized in the form of typical phonetic errors in their oral speech. The nature and causes of phonetic errors made by Arab students as a result of the interference of their native language in the process of studying Russian as a foreign language are analyzed. It is emphasized that the successful overcoming of the interference of the native language depends on the joint efforts of the Russian as a foreign language teacher and the foreign students themselves.

Conclusion. Successful mastery of the phonetic skills of Russian as a foreign language by Arab students is possible by predicting, taking into account and preventing typical phonetic errors, which occur due to the peculiarities of the phonetic structure of the Russian language as well as the interfering influence of phonetic skills characteristic of their native language.
