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.

• Plurals: книга becomes книги (not книгы), because the stem ends in г.
• 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.

Once you internalise this pattern, Russian spelling feels more logical.

Expect to pay approximately for Russian tuition in Findon.

The final cost depends on:

• Your level: beginners, intermediate, or advanced learners may pay different rates.
• Tutor background: university lecturers and professional interpreters command higher fees.
• How often you meet: regular weekly lessons or intensive blocks affect cost per hour.
• Where you learn: online tuition, home tuition, or lessons at a language school.

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

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

Understanding the categories helps memorisation:

• 21 consonants: б, в, г, д, ж, з, й, к, л, м, н, п, р, с, т, ф, х, ц, ч, ш, щ. Some look like Latin letters but sound different.
• 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.

Beginners often confuse letters that look Latin but aren't: Р = r, Н = n, В = v, С = s.
