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.
• After х, adjectives take -ий: hence тихий (quiet), never тыхый.
• Even when и sounds like ы (after ж, ш, щ, ч), you still write и.

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

A private Russian lesson in Uxbridge averages £20/h.

The final cost depends on:

• Student level: complete beginners or advanced conversation practice affect pricing.
• Tutor background: university lecturers and professional interpreters command higher fees.
• How often you meet: regular weekly lessons or intensive blocks affect cost per hour.
• Where you learn: online tuition, home tuition, or lessons at a language school.

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 vowel letters form pairs: а/я, у/ю, о/ё, ы/и, э/е, where the second softens consonants.
• Special markers (2): ь softens the preceding consonant, while ъ separates consonants from soft vowels.

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