Groovy graphics! But some of the examples are more about how Russians (mis)pronounce English words - e.g. x, like 'heart' |

My favorite was that ы was simply described as a strange sound. but i still think it could be useful for leaning the basics of the cyrillic alphabet. |

Oh, God, yes. An excellent start. Especially as the fear factor in learning this alphabet is much, much higher than the actual difficulty level. A little humour is just the ticket! |

Russian spelling is way easier than English. Pronunciation of ы takes awhile. Still can't get the soft sign - ь, especially following л |
