Нн - sounds like "n" in noon. The tip of the tongue touches the lower teeth.
Рр - sounds like "r" in rest but rolled.
Сс - sounds like "s" in sun. The tip of the tongue touches the lower teeth.
Уу - sounds like "oo" in noodles. This sound is pronounced shorter than in English, with lips more rounded and protruded.
