Makarena I have one question for you, I have a problem with "трактор". I read in my textbook that vowel "o" in position after stress sounds like very short "a". So we hear i.e эта instead этo, and in the word "трактор" I hear in your record "o" not very short "a". What is your opinion? If I'm in wrong could you explain me this? Or someone else?

I don`t speak the vowel "o" in the word "трактор". I speak "Трактр", but if I speak "У меня нет трактора", I speak the vowel "o".
Maybe, it help you.
