5. Learn to read the most common combinations of certain letters, reading rules.
6. Find a decent dictionary, I recommend this one, red letter means stressed vowel. Click the icon to listen.

Thanks , unfortunately , I don't have the stickers but I know the Russian alphabet
pronounciation has been a tricky issue so far along with stress , Thanks for the dictionary link ,

much appreciated indeed
