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

Grammatical endings follow this rule strictly.

• When forming plurals after these seven letters, use -и: книга → книги.
• 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.

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

Expect to pay approximately £17/h for Russian tuition in Canterbury.

The final cost depends on:

• Student level: complete beginners or advanced conversation practice affect pricing.
• 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.
• Delivery method: video calls tend to cost less than in-person sessions.

You can often negotiate a lower price by committing to a term of regular sessions.

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

Understanding the categories helps memorisation:

• Consonants (21): many resemble English letters (м, т, к) while others are unique (ж, ш, щ, ц).
• 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.

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