I can't think of an example in English. English has hard t's. It's like
tya, pronounced as one syllable and without the a. The soft sounds are,
among other things, what I think makes Russian linguistically so beautiful.
Ukrainian doesn't have the soft sounds. I never liked Ukrainian (can't
speak it all but can recognize it.) Plus generally I just think Russian is
beautiful. Don't get me wrong, I like English tyu.
