What I mean by how to pronounce is the word тигр is pronounced Tigh-her I need to know this for Puppy

Answer
Greetings Adrian,

So you want to know the pronunciation of the Russian word for "puppy". "Puppy" is щенок in Russian and it's pronounced "shenok", the stress on the 2nd syllable. The sh is softer than in English.
You can hear this word pronounced here (press the button near the word "щенок"): http://www.lingvozone.com/main.jsp?action=translation&do=dictionary&language_id_...

Natasha
