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.
• 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.

Russian lessons in Minskip typically cost £12/h per hour.

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.
• Lesson length and frequency: weekly sessions or intensive courses offer different value.
• 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.
• 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".
