Russian spelling rule #1 states that ы never follows г, к, х, ж, ш, щ, or ч, and и takes its place.

This rule affects word endings constantly.

• The plural of книга is книги, since г requires и.
• Adjective endings shift from -ый to -ий after these consonants: тихий, not тыхый.
• Even when и sounds like ы (after ж, ш, щ, ч), you still write и.

Learning this rule early helps you avoid common spelling mistakes in Russian.

The average price of a Russian lesson in Bromley is around £16/h.

This rate varies depending on several factors:

• Difficulty level: introductory Cyrillic or business Russian change the rate.
• Teacher credentials: native Russian speakers and qualified linguists often charge more.
• How often you meet: regular weekly lessons or intensive blocks affect cost per hour.
• Lesson format: online lessons, home visits, or meeting at the tutor's place.

Some teachers provide package deals: booking ten lessons often brings a better rate.

Cyrillic script for Russian has exactly 33 letters, organised into consonants, vowels, and two silent markers.

Here's how the alphabet breaks down:

• 21 consonant letters include familiar shapes like в and н, plus distinctly Russian ones like ж and щ.
• Vowels (10): five hard (а, у, о, ы, э) and five soft (я, ю, ё, и, е), which palatalise the preceding consonant.
• Special markers (2): ь softens the preceding consonant, while ъ separates consonants from soft vowels.

Some letters look identical to Latin ones but sound different: Р is "r", С is "s", Н is "n".
