Do you know any good resource to first learn Cyrillic alphabet?
- 082349872349872 6y agoI knew greek before, which has substantial overlap. Flashcards would probably be the fastest method, but I'm not cramming, so to pick up the rest of the characters, I: - watched the relevant episodes of Спокойной ночи, малыши for letterforms and pronunciation. (phonic segment is about midway through, nearly always at the same time, IIRC) - read plenty. VK memes at first, news headlines for the proper nouns later. - watched lyric music videos to work on reading speed.
- btilly 6y agoDuolingo is good at teaching Cyrillic. Be warned, though, that it takes a while for an English speaker to recognize the difference between hard consonants and soft consonants. In fact I got the point where I didn't think that I could tell, but was able to successfully guess 10x in a row. I got them right, but it really felt like I had no idea. Very weird experience.
