Russian Language Lessons
Let me introduce to you all Russian letters of the alphabet.
Previous lesson we had some practice how to say simple and necessary phrases for you in Russian -
I love you, I want you, l want you, my name, and some nice words for lady.
Today we will learn all Russian letters and closest English equivalent and we will try to read some
Russian.
You will be surprised how easily you can read Russian if you know Russian letters.
The Russian alphabet has many similarities with Greek alphabet.
I believe that process from recognized individual letter to be able read whole words is much easy in Russian than in English. If you pronounce Russian words letter by letter as they are written in words you will be very close to a correct pronunciation.
But I want you to know that there are special points in Russian, which you should know for perfect
pronunciation. And to be honest with you, I can see just two ways to get perfect Russian pronunciation!
First, I believe that best place to learn Russian it is Russia. We have a very nice tour to Gomel. All details you can see on the tour page of our website.
I love spring and summer in Russia; I think it is best time to visit Russia. There is not snow and the Russian nature wakes up after a long winter, Russian lades are very happy to change their winter clothes for their summer dresses and you will see just so many beautiful ladies in Russia and may be you will want to stay there...??
And the second way to learn perfect pronunciation is have your Russian fiance in your house, in your country. Your Russian lessons can be very romantic…!!!
If you still don’t have your special lady you can choose from our latest additions page of the website or use the search engine facility to find a lady that is for you.
Please print the Russian alphabet for you and try to remember Russian letters. I marked Russian letters which sounds very similar to English and you don’t need to spend a lot of time to learn it.
