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.

You'll encounter this rule in plurals and adjectives.

• 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.

Expect to pay approximately £25/h for Russian tuition in Poole.

Prices can shift based on:

• Difficulty level: introductory Cyrillic or business Russian change the rate.
• The tutor's experience and qualifications, such as native speakers or certified teachers.
• 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.

Many tutors offer discounts for booking multiple lessons, which reduces the hourly cost.

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

The structure works like this:

• 21 consonant letters include familiar shapes like в and н, plus distinctly Russian ones like ж and щ.
• 10 vowels: а, у, о, ы, э (hard vowels) and я, ю, ё, и, е (soft vowels). Each hard vowel has a soft counterpart.
• 2 signs: ь (soft sign) and ъ (hard sign) produce no sound alone but modify pronunciation.

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