Re: Lingwa de Planeta (LdP) introductory course

Aha, so we can speak Russian! Nice.
You know, I myself have noticed this z' component only recently. It is
quite difficult for me to pronounce a palatalized d without it; this
may be done, but then it sounds very unnatural.
I am not a phonetician (we have one in our team, though), but it seems
to me that this happens because of the tounge position when you
pronounce d' - it is very close to the one when you pronounce z'.
