How to say "Good job" in Russian.
One way of saying good job would be O-chen khah-rah-SHOH.
The first word O-chen hits the accent on the first syllable. The second word khah-rah-SHOH, hits the accent on the last syllable.
Putting it together.
O-chen khah-rah-SHOH
One more time, nice and slow.
O-chen khah-rah-SHOH
And now, at a more conversational rate.
O-chen khah-rah-SHOH

Great! Another way of saying "Good Job" to someone would be to say
moh-loh-DZETS
That kind of means, you're a champ.
The accent on that is on the last syllable. I'll say it nice and slow.
moh-loh-DZETS
One more time.
moh-loh-DZETS
And now at a normal conversational rate.

Now, you try.
Great. Now, if you wanted to tell someone that they did an "Excellent job", you would say
ve-lee-koh-LYEP-na-ya ra-BOH-ta
That's one long word, and one slightly shorter word. The first word ve-lee-koh-LYEP-na-ya which means excellent hits the accent on that fourth syllable. The second word ra-BOH-ta, work, hits the accent on the second syllable.
Bring it together.
ve-lee-koh-LYEP-na-ya ra-BOH-ta

And now, slightly quicker.

pyats BAL-lov
pyats BAL-lov
It literally means five points which is the top grade in the Russian grading system.
So one more time.

The accent is on the first syllable of the second word.
And now, I'll say it at a normal pace.
