Quick answer: I can help with Russian — but it's a big subject, so here's a small, usable starting piece (greetings + the beginner's #1 trap), then tell me what to focus on next.
Key steps
- Two greetings, two registers
- Привет = hi (informal, friends) — roughly "pree-VYET"
- Здравствуйте = hello (formal / strangers / adults) — "ZDRAHST-vuy-tye" Russian always makes you choose: informal vs. formal (ты vs. вы).
- The trap: letters that look Latin but aren't These Cyrillic letters are "false friends":
| Looks like | Actually is | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Р | R | Россия = Rossiya |
| Н | N | нет = nyet (no) |
| С | S | стоп = stop |
| У | U | у |
| В | V | вот = vot |
| Х | Kh | хорошо = khorosho |
That's why ресторан is read "restoran", not "pectopah".
- No "am/is/are" in the present tense Я студент = literally "I student" = I am a student. Russian drops the verb "to be" in the present.
Check yourself: read нет letter by letter — Н = N, Е = "ye", Т = T → nyet = "no". If you got that, you've already used the principle.
What's missing: I don't know your level or goal yet. Which do you want first — the Cyrillic alphabet (reading from zero), or survival phrases (ordering food, introductions)?
