The 7-letter rule is a core Russian spelling principle: after г, к, х, ж, ш, щ, and ч, you must write и instead of ы.

Grammatical endings follow this rule strictly.

• The plural of книга is книги, since г requires и.
• Adjectives: тихий (quiet) ends in -ий, not -ый, because х precedes the ending.
• The pronunciation stays the same after ж, ш, щ, ч, but spelling always uses и.

Master this rule first, and plurals and adjective endings become predictable.

Russian lessons in Audenshaw typically cost £10/h per hour.

The final cost depends on:

• Difficulty level: introductory Cyrillic or business Russian change the rate.
• The tutor's experience and qualifications, such as native speakers or certified teachers.
• Lesson length and frequency: weekly sessions or intensive courses offer different value.
• Delivery method: video calls tend to cost less than in-person sessions.

Many tutors offer discounts for booking multiple lessons, which reduces the hourly cost.

The Russian alphabet contains 33 Cyrillic letters: 21 consonants, 10 vowels, and 2 special signs.

Understanding the categories helps memorisation:

• 21 consonant letters include familiar shapes like в and н, plus distinctly Russian ones like ж and щ.
• 10 vowels: а, у, о, ы, э (hard vowels) and я, ю, ё, и, е (soft vowels). Each hard vowel has a soft counterpart.
• 2 signs: ь (soft sign) and ъ (hard sign) produce no sound alone but modify pronunciation.

Watch out for false friends: Russian Р sounds like English "r", not "p"; Russian С sounds like "s", not "c".
