RUSSIAN ALPHABET IN 33 MOVES: A fun beginner’s guide with visual prompts

Prior to purchasing this book, I followed a video lesson from a different instructor. I kind of knew how most letters are pronounced in words, but not the names of the letters themselves (the last few pages tells you in this book!), and I didn't really get the soft sign and hard sign. I didn't have a solid grasp of the letters.This little book, though small and thin, helped me solidify my foundation, and I have a much better grasp of the alphabet now. The small volume is less daunting than big books and easy to pick up and practice.The best things are the exercises - I'd cover the pronunciation and try it myself first, then see if I got it right. The exercises also help build vocabulary! The humorous and clever presentation is great, making alphabets not so dry to learn!Do get the free audio file - it corrected a few letters I didn't get right, like ы, and the names of the letters. After this book, I had also purchased the cursive handwriting book from the same author - gotta be able to write! That one has even more exercises and vocab, also in a small volume easy to pick up any time you have a few minutes. I recommend both.

Did not expect this book to be so easy to learn Russian letters and make it quirky and fun. 100 percent recommend. I took Russian years ago and it was a good way to be reminded how to say the words.Starts with the letters and introducing how to say them, then you can test yourself with procuring the words and it provides the answer below 100 percent recommend. Wish there were books more books here

Clear and concise presentation of important information that has cleared up a lot of questions for me. Teaching yourself a new language can be very frustrating, This little book provides a ton of unique and clear information that has been missing from everything else I have seen so far. Highly recommended.

Overall, a very nice but very short overview of the Russian/Cyrillic Alphabet. At 44 pages, it essentially devotes a page per letter plus a few pages for context and tables.I really like the drawings and short write-ups that provide a visual and story to better cement the letters and their sounds in one’s head.An mp3 download and PDF images are also available.For extra practice, I also recommend the book “Russian Script Hacking.”

I read this book ONCE just lastnight and 1. I actually understand the letters/sounds now. 2. I remembered most of it from just the one reading. I was surprised at how easy this book made it and I'm excited that I actually retained the information finally. This is exactly what I needed to get my Russian study going. I tried and failed before largely because of the lack of understanding the alphabet, and any study guide I used did not introduce the letters in a way that was well understood or well received. After just one reading of this book I can actually figure out the pronunciation of random Russian words that just yesterday looked completely alien. Now the task of learning Russian seems actually do-able! I feel good about it now instead of lost and discouraged!I highly recommend this book!

This book is so simple but it really helped me learn the Russian Alphabet. Highly recommend it. I bought it as an e-book and did it all on kindle, but my partner ended up buying it for me in paperback because it is also a beautiful book.

Russian has 33 letters in their alphabet!But this booklet makes it less daunting for adults to start learning this interesting language.And once you know the letters you can start reading simple words, DA!Am glad i bought it.PS: watch the Learn-Russian videos on youtube for inspiration : )

This books is awesome! Within the first 8 pages I was learning vastly so much about the language that helped me understand why sounds are made as well as the structure of the written Russian word that I had been failing to gather from typical sources like duolingo or pimsleur has given.
