Introduction:

“Like every other language learning, we should start with the basics. Learn the alphabet as this is the foundation to every language.” This is what we heard about the journey of language learning, right? But what do you have a different goal? What if you need to learn basic conversation only? Before going to the topic let me introduce the history of this beautiful language Russian. The Russian alphabet is also known as the Cyrillic alphabet has thirty-two letters. These letters have a few similar letters to the English alphabet letters. 

 If your requirement or goal of learning is not only speaking then what you need to do is to learn grammar, speaking, writing, and reading. So, it is indeed very necessary to learn the letters Until and unless you are familiar with the letters you cannot start reading or writing Russian. But if you have prior knowledge of Latin, it is an advantage for you as many of the letters are similar.  

You can start learning Russian from an institute, online educational platforms, video streaming sites, or language learning apps. Most of the basic learning levels are free until and unless you want to go further with their higher features or if you want to get the certificate of completion of courses. You need to give some premium fees to get this. But on the other hand, if your requirement is only for the beginner’s conversation then there are enough free resources to get your hands on.
