Oh, and "р" is like a trilled "r" but at the back of the mouth. It's fun to learn. Just do what I did and learn a few letters each day till you know them all.
Just one problem. Now when I speak English it sounds like I have a Russian accent, LOL!

Thanks for the advice, my friend! Some of these sounds take a lot of practice to make... wow! I will definitely take a small group of letters at a time and just work on those until I have them mastered. Much easier than going thru the whole alphabet at once. lol about your Russian accent! Well, that means it's sticking, so that's a good thing!

I made this a long time ago from stuff I found online. I cutout the script stuff and organized it with a copy of the alphabet that I made. Maybe you can copy it and it can help you too.

Line 1 = the Russian alphabet.
Line 2 = If you switch the keyboard mode of your PC to Russian, in windows, these are the English keys to use to get each of the letters.
Line 3 = What each letter kinda sounds like.
Line 4 = The Russian alphabet in cursive.
Line 5 = Examples of how to connect the cursive letters.
The rest = Some notes about some of the letters and symbols.

I lined the letters up vertically to make them easier to find.

Wow... this is awesome! Thanks so much! I'm definitely going to print this off and use it. I didn't know I could switch my keyboard over to Russian... good deal! I'm still working on the alphabet. I haven't done much of anything the past couple days due to being busy and not feeling very well. Thanks again!
