We've learned that two consonants – ч and щ – are always soft (palatalized); but writing я after them would violate a spelling rule. In this video we'll take a close look at how to pronounce these combinations, with special attention to what happens with vowel reduction.
It's the kind of nuance that helps your pronunciation sound natural in words like пло́щадь, начала́, and whenever you talk about telling the time with часа́ and часо́в.
