Learn Russian Alphabet Fast (in just 30 min)

[@mikedevries4343]

This is the best way to teach pronunciation. When she uses the English language equivalent of each letter, it strips away the mystery and shows you already know how to pronounce the letter based on a word in which you already use it.

[@is5714]

Yes, it's perfect!

[@19Greenhelle]

I love your teaching style. You're very endearing and make the language seem much less intimidating than it is. I'm going to Russia on a very last minute trip in two weeks, and I've been playing this to help me keep calm and learn Cyrillic. Very well done!!

[@johnfriesen2450]

I can't believe I am reading and sounding out Cyrillic letters in 10 minutes. I am not even finished the video yet and I am reading and sounding words out. Love this! Thanks so much for posting. Your teaching style is great. Very positive energy.

That was amazing. Now I can read cyrillic after just 26 minutes. I thought it would take months of practice but this was simple, fast & straight to the point. Even if I don't pronounce the words correctly, I at least know the letters & sounds. You definitely have a new subscriber. Thank you.

[@denval6963]

This is the best way you teach I'm just starting to listen

[@seoulmate1360]

I still can't differentiate the sound of ш and щ. Can you please elaborate more?

[@Wonderaccent]

Good practice is to listen to audio minimal pairs with these 2 sounds and train your ear.

[@CitroTeam]

The sound is similar but Щ start with a S. Something like that. The google translater help a lot. You tipe de letter Щ, then clik the button hear\listen. Repeat for Ш .

[@Dragonfyre2009]

It took a while for me as well. The key for me was two words - shoe (ш) and sheep (щ). Say the two words slowly, exaggerating the sh sound at the beginning and note carefully how your mouth naturally forms to start to say each word. You'll notice that your lips and teeth are in different positions for each and the щ sound for sheep sounds higher pitched. Hopefully this will help you. I still have problems with ы. I can do it OK on its own, but in the middle of words I have trouble. It will come with practice!

[@christinesizemore3]

I've found that having taken a class in linguistics really helps me differentiate between the more similar-sounding letters and vowel sounds. A lot of it has to do with mouth shape and tongue placement.

[@robinmayorga4419]

Hi, Elena, fine presentation, but I have to mention one oversight and one suggestion so that your students can better relate and remember the concepts. You missed the Russian letter "H" (n) on the early part of your presentation and it would be of great help if you could write in small letters right under the Russian letters the English sound equivalent; you have it all in your head, but your new English speaking students do not. Thank you.

[@MegaRorita]

I love your style so much. Putting it to music (by singing) helps so much. Another commenter said they wanted pictures... I disagree. That would probably dilute the process of connecting the cyrillic letters visually to sounds in the brain. Bravo, I wish everything was taught with this kind of careful thought.

Hi Eлена, thanks for your lesson!! You give us some word examples using the russian letter "H" in 3:50 and 6:35, but you haven't told us about this letter. In 26:01 you are calling "C" as [cэ], not [эc] and the same with "ф" later. And also, as I see your accent is more "hard russian" comparing to others in other video-lessons. Is this accent from Moscow?

Hey Kostas, thanks for your feedback. Good catch. You're right, letters C and Ф are called as [эс] and [эф]. And yes, my accent is from Moscow.

In the beginning, Cyrilic seems daunting. Actually, it is not more difficult than English letters! It is true that English has only 26 letters. But since English is not phonic, a beginner has to memorise the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) to as to learn the correct pronunciation of each English word. English has more sounds. It is true that the English grammar is really easy.
