You know, if you know something here... That's good. I don't know how much Russian is known. Here I'll just write the first 10 letters of the russian alphabet.

Alphabet

There are 33 letters in the Russian alphabet: 10 vowels, 21 consonants and 2 letters that do not indicate sounds - ъ and ь. I will explain about them later, not today.

A - reads just like English A. Example: Арбуз [arbuz] (watermelon)

Б - Reads like English B. Example: Барабан [baraban] (drums)

B - reads like English V. Example: Вор [vor] (thief)

Г - reads like English G. BUUUUUUUUUT! It's worth talking about

The letter Г is read like the letter G in words: Gas, Garden, Game. But it is never read ZH or DZ. For example Giant.

There is a word Сегодня [seVodnya]. Note! The letter Г is written and read like the letter B [v]. It's worth remembering!

Example: Гольф [gol'f] (golf)

Д - reads like English D. Example: Дом [dom] (house)

Е - reads like English A or E. Example: ПривEт [privEt] (hello).

Ё - reads like English Y or couple YO. Example: Ёлка [YOlka] (Chirstmas tree).

Ж - reads like English couple ZH. Example: Жизнь [zhiz'n'] (life)

З - reads like English Z. Example: Зонт [zont] (umbrella)

И - reads like English I. Example: игла [igla] (needle)

I will add to this forum later, but now I have an early morning and I'm still too lazy. I hope I didn't write in vain. If you have questions, ask them!

Glory to Vizeism!
