Languages & Linguistics

I can read Russian, and the character that interests me most is Ь. In other words, the soft sign as it's called. I know other languages also has this but I got this from Russian so I'll focus on that.

This letter, if I remember, has no direct pronunciation and is associated with other characters, though I don't know how to use it. Stated in the linked Wikipedia page, it indicates palatalization of the preceding consonant. I don't like studying where parts of my mouth is, and it's also tricky to figure out where exactly this "hard palate" is (at least for me).
