English pronunciation

To pronounce the Ukrainian name "Raisa," start with the "R," which sounds like the "r" in "error" (it has a slight roll). Next, say "ai," which sounds like the "i" in "my" for a diphthong effect. Then, finish with "sa," where the "s" is like in "sad," followed by "a" pronounced like the "a" in "father." So, the full pronunciation would be roughly "Rye-sah."

Here’s a breakdown with tips:
- **R**: as in “error” (think of a rolled sound)
- **ai**: as in “my” (pronounced together for a smooth glide)
- **s**: as in “sad”
- **a**: as in “father”
