Learn the Russian alphabet. The alphabet is a good place to start when you're learning to speak Russian. Russian is a phonetic language, which means that more or less every Russian letter corresponds to a single sound. Once you have learned to pronounce every letter of the alphabet correctly, you should be able to accurately pronounce almost every single Russian word.

The Russian alphabet is derived from the Cyrillic alphabet and consists of 33 letters, including 11 vowels, 20 consonants and 2 letters which make no sound, but make a word sound harder or softer. When learning, it might help to group the letters by look and sound, compared with their English counterparts[1]:
First Group: Written and pronounced the same. Six Russian letters are the same as English in both pronunciation and form - namely A, E, K, M, O and T.[1]
Second Group: Look different but sound the same. Sixteen Russian letters have the same pronunciation as English ones, but are symbolized by a completely different letter. These include ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ? and ?.[1]


Third Group: Look familiar but are pronounced differently. Eight Russian letters look very similar to some English letters and numbers but they are pronounced very differently - these are ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?.[1]
Fourth Group: New letter and unfamiliar sound. There are some Russian letters which do not exist in English at all and either represent unfamiliar sounds or have no sound value - for example: ?, ?, ?.[1]

Hope it helps if anyone is struggling with their russian
