Russian spelling rule #1 states that ы never follows г, к, х, ж, ш, щ, or ч, and и takes its place.

You'll encounter this rule in plurals and adjectives.

• When forming plurals after these seven letters, use -и: книга → книги.
• 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.

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

The average price of a Russian lesson in Troon is around £25/h.

Prices can shift based on:

• Student level: complete beginners or advanced conversation practice affect pricing.
• 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.
• Delivery method: video calls tend to cost less than in-person sessions.

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

Cyrillic script for Russian has exactly 33 letters, organised into consonants, vowels, and two silent markers.

The structure works like this:

• 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.
• 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".
