FAQ's

🧬 What is the Russian spelling rule involving seven consonants?

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

Grammatical endings follow this rule strictly.

  • Plurals: книга becomes книги (not книгы), because the stem ends in г.
  • Adjective endings shift from -ый to -ий after these consonants: тихий, not тыхый.
  • 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.

💰 How much should I pay for a Russian tutor in London?

Expect to pay approximately £22/h for Russian tuition in London.

The final cost depends on:

  • Your level: beginners, intermediate, or advanced learners may pay different rates.
  • Teacher credentials: native Russian speakers and qualified linguists often charge more.
  • Lesson length and frequency: weekly sessions or intensive courses offer different value.
  • Delivery method: video calls tend to cost less than in-person sessions.

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

⚡ Can you list all 33 Russian letters?

Russian uses 33 characters split into three groups: 21 consonant letters, 10 vowels, and 2 modifier 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.
  • Vowels (10): five hard (а, у, о, ы, э) and five soft (я, ю, ё, и, е), which palatalise the preceding consonant.
  • 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".
