Here's a tip
In this lesson we are going to look at the Russian alphabet, which is based on the
Cyrillic alphabet. There are 33 le ers in the Russian alphabet: 10 vowels, 21 consonants
and 2 special le ers - so sign and hard sign - that indicate pronunciation. On the next
screen you will see what it looks and sounds like.
First, let's take a look at the le ers that look and sound the same as their equivalents in
the Latin alphabet:
