Find a Russian tutor near me in Chislehurst

In Russian, seven consonants block the use of ы: these are г, к, х (velar sounds) and ж, ш, щ, ч (sibilants).

This rule affects word endings constantly.

• The plural of книга is книги, since г requires и.
• After х, adjectives take -ий: hence тихий (quiet), never 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.

Russian lessons in Chislehurst typically cost £20/h per hour.

This rate varies depending on several factors:

• Difficulty level: introductory Cyrillic or business Russian change the rate.
• Tutor background: university lecturers and professional interpreters command higher fees.
• 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.

Russian uses 33 characters split into three groups: 21 consonant letters, 10 vowels, and 2 modifier signs.

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.
• 10 vowel letters form pairs: а/я, у/ю, о/ё, ы/и, э/е, where the second softens consonants.
• 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".
