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.
• Adjectives: тихий (quiet) ends in -ий, not -ый, because х precedes the ending.
• The pronunciation stays the same after ж, ш, щ, ч, but spelling always uses и.

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

• Lesson length and frequency: weekly sessions or intensive courses offer different value.
• Where you learn: online tuition, home tuition, or lessons at a language school.
