How Do You Learn The Cyrillic Alphabet?
Whether you’re planning to study Russian or just hoping to read some street signs on your trip to Bulgaria, knowing the Cyrillic alphabet is definitely useful. At 33 letters, the Cyrillic alphabet may be a little longer than the Latin one, but even so it only takes most people a few days to learn the Cyrillic alphabet in printed form and bit longer for cursive. Get a copy of the printed Cyrillic alphabet and learn how each letter is pronounced. Use language learning tapes or look for recordings online to help you learn the sounds of the Cyrillic alphabet. Russian and other languages using this alphabet have a few sounds not used in English and it’s hard to pronounce these sounds correctly based on descriptions in a book. Transliterate from Latin to Cyrillic. Find some words in the language you’re studying, whether it’s Russian, Bulgarian or Uzbek, that have been written in Latin letters. Write those words using the printed Cyrillic alphabet. Check your spelling in the dictionary. Becau
