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.
• Adjectives: тихий (quiet) ends in -ий, not -ый, because х precedes the ending.
• Spelling trumps sound: write и after ж, ш, щ, ч regardless of pronunciation.

Master this rule first, and plurals and adjective endings become predictable.

A private Russian lesson in Nailsea averages £12/h.

The final cost depends on:

• Student level: complete beginners or advanced conversation practice affect pricing.
• The tutor's experience and qualifications, such as native speakers or certified teachers.
• Session structure: single lessons cost more than packages of ten or twenty hours.
• 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.

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).
• 10 vowels: а, у, о, ы, э (hard vowels) and я, ю, ё, и, е (soft vowels). Each hard vowel has a soft counterpart.
• Two modifier signs: the soft sign (ь) adds palatalisation, and the hard sign (ъ) prevents it.

Watch out for false friends: Russian Р sounds like English "r", not "p"; Russian С sounds like "s", not "c".
