to converse – разговаривать to speak – говорить

to pronounce – произносить to hear – слышать

When you speak the sound waves (звуковые волны) travel through the air at the rate of 1200 feet per second. In a normal conversation the hearer really hears only about 50 % of the sounds produced by the speaker. That explains why foreign languages are often easier to speak than to understand. Recording instruments show that no two native speakers of one language pronounce any word or sound of that language alike (одинаково). There is always some difference between your pronunciation and that of another speaker and this enables (давать возможность) us to recognize (узнавать) a person by his pronunciation.
