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

This rule affects word endings constantly.

• Plurals: книга becomes книги (not книгы), because the stem ends in г.
• 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.

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

The average price of a Russian lesson in Woking is around £15/h.

This rate varies depending on several factors:

• Your level: beginners, intermediate, or advanced learners may pay different rates.
• 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.
• 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.

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

Here's how the alphabet breaks down:

• 21 consonants: б, в, г, д, ж, з, й, к, л, м, н, п, р, с, т, ф, х, ц, ч, ш, щ. Some look like Latin letters but sound different.
• 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.

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