If you want to sound more Russian, don’t shorten your vowels, as English speakers often do. When you say Aa, Oo, or Уу, open your mouth really wide, like a Russian opera singer. Also be sure not to round your mouth after Oo or Уу, and deliberately stretch out the sounds to make them a little bit longer. Imagine that you’re in your room on the second floor, and your mom is downstairs in the kitchen. You call her by saying “Mo-o-o-m!” That’s the way Russians say their vowels (except for the shouting part!).
