#cyrillic
An eagle flew across the sea, lowered his wing and plugged the spring. A rooster sat on a stone, flapping his wings: black stone, you don’t move, Christian blood, you stop for born, prayerful, baptised [Name].
A Ukrainian chant to stop blood from a wound.

When I learned, my prof had us focus on the words that are the same or similar to English, which was really helpful
Yes!! I used the app “Russian Alphabet”, it’s really simple but it was really useful to me. I learnt the whole Cyrillic alphabet in one night, thanks to the app. By the way, do it in the night. You can memorize better if you review anything before sleeping!
You have to practice it, there’s no other way! You can develop your own useful pneumonics to help, because you’re inevitably going to confuse В/Б П/Р etc. for a while. Maybe try learning to write Russian cursive as well? Russians only write in cursive, and there are some differences between print and cursive. It could help you solidify it more, maybe? And I hate to say this, but learning the alphabet will be the easiest part with Russian. It will become natural eventually, I promise! Удачи!!!
look up “sesame street russian alphabet”. It’s addictive. also, the memrise course is great, and this website has a super simple way to learn the alphabet without overthinking it.
When I first learned the the sounds of each letter, I spent a lot of time writing English words with Cyrillic letters the best I could just to reinforce my understanding of each of the sounds Also I would open the lyrics to slow Russian songs and read them slowly over and over again, and then listen to the song Might be worth downloading a Russian keyboard onto your computer and then buying a pack of Cyrillic letter stickers to your keyboard! Makes practicing a whole lot easier, good luck
The way I learned Cyrillic was to write each letter 10 (or possibly more) times, and repeat the sound each letter makes every time I wrote the said letter. I also solidified my mastery of Cyrillic by learning basic spelling rules early on (when to pronounce ‘o’ as ‘a’ etc.) and incorporating those spelling rules when trying to spell out words and sentences :)
Having learned the phonemic alphabet I got some assistance as I could write down the exact sound I needed to remember without possibly confusing it for Latin lettering So although it means learning more the phonemic alphabet could help
Divide the letters into groups: -letters that sound the same and look the same as your own alphabet-letters that look the same but sound different than those in your native alphabet-letters that look new/different but carry the same sounds as your native alphabet-letters that can’t be found or seen in your native alphabet Once you identify which letters belong to these groups, practice the letters in that order (above) Also, start writing words you already know using the Cyrillic alphabet….
