Today we had our first lesson in russian. We met in Wayne’s coffee and drank hot chocolate while we learned the cyrillic alphabet. It’s really hard because it’s there are so many different letters than in ours.
For remembering the letters better, we wrote down one word for each letter. These words were all similar to the english words, so it was easier for us.
| Letter | Russian Word | Translation |
| A | Алина | Alina |
| б | банан | banana |
| В | Вячеслав | Viacheslav |
| г | гитара | guitar |
| д | дом | house |
| E | Ереван | Yerevan |
| Ё | Ёлки | christmas tree |
| ж | жизнь | life |
| з | заяц | hare |
| И | икра | caviar |
| й | йога | yoga |
| к | кактус | cactus |
| Л | лимон | lemon |
| M | Мама | mom |
| Н | нет | no |
| O | Олимп | Olymp |
| П | Папа | dad |
| P | Россия | Russia |
| C | Сибирь | Siberia |
