Cyrillic Alphabet

I purchased RSBS and I found it difficult to learn Cyrillic Alphabet just by reading. Those Russian letters: Н, Х, Я, Щ... there are too many of them and they are confusing. Any suggestions how to make it fun and easy?
How long does it usually take to learn Cyrillic alphabet?

You can learn the alphabet the traditional way by memorizing it by heart, but the quickest way to learn it is by reading the real words and sentences.

Just start reading and listening to the exercises. Consult the Alphabet table each time you don’t know the letter or hesitate.

And another thing: do a lot of writing!

According to the statistics the majority of the people are visual learners

There is a Workbook for RSBS. It is especially written for those who don’t have a tutor and study on their own

Olga: Yes, Workbook Reading Russian was written as a supplement for the RSBS. We got feedbacks from our students who had similar problems. They were asking for help in learning Cyrillic Alphabet.

Reading Russian can help you to learn the Alphabet for 6 days effortlessly, if you spend 30 min a day on doing all exercises in the book, including audio.

I also bought Russian Step By Step textbook first and I did not have much time to do all those exercises as the Russian Step By Step recommends: to read words, listen to the audio and connect letters to the sounds.

Then I bought the Workbook and it helped. You spend $20 ($15 the book + $5 for the download the sound from the website) and you don’t have any problems reading Russian. I recommend buying that book if you want to make learning alphabet easier.

It took me about 2 weeks: I did not study every day.
