I'm impressed that you're already learning to type in Russian -- I assume you mean that you're using an actual physical клавиату'ра ("keyboard"), rather than a "virtual keyboard" online where you click on letters with a mouse?

I started studying Russian кодга' Бу'ш ста'рший бы'л в Бе'лом До'ме ("when Bush Sr. was in the White House"), and I didn't learn to type on a Cyrillic keyboard until 5 or 6 years later... back in the early '90s, there wasn't as much software support for Cyrillic.
