Thread: "Learning Russian" in Russian.

So how do I say "I am learning Russian"? Can I please have the Cyrillic and Latin spelling?

Я учу русский.

Hey thanks. Can you put that in the latin alphabet so I can try to pronounce it?

I think the first letter you put is Ya or I and the last is Russian. or um Russki. Not sure how to put the second word into the latin alphabet.

Dear melchieor, before learning sentences like "I am learning Russian" in Russian or others you should learn the Cyrillic alphabet first.
Unfortunately, many learners think it's possible to learn Russian without learning the alphabet. That's a big mistake.

P.S. I suggest you read this thread: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=17705

Hi, yep I am working on it. Currently I am try to memorize some of the letters and their English pronunciation.

Russian letters have no English pronunciation, to read them one has to learn how to pronounce Russian sounds.

Oh man .. I am so lost. Well at least the page I am looking at has some audio that helps me pronounce it. This could take some time..

Ya uchu russkiy

Ну, во-первых, совсем не так.
А во-вторых, может, не стоит оказывать человеку медвежью услугу? Пусть учит алфавит.
