That's great, do you know the alphabet? If not, I can post it with the sounds of each letter and examples of those sounds.

Sort of, I was watching this video on YouTube of kids singing it, It was a bit fast but quite catchy.

Well, I'd need you to know it enough that you could transliterate anything from Cyrillic (Russian alphabet) to Latin (this alphabet). First the vowels because I don't want to post it all at once. Also you don't have to sing the alphabet in order to know it. I don't even know the English alphabet in exact order.

А а: a (ah) example: pAcific
E e: e (yeh) example: YEllow
Ё ё: yo (yoh) example: YOlk
И и: i (ee) example: mE
Й й: i/y (ee kraht-koy-yeh) short i. this is always beside another vowel to make a new vowel sound. like ай is one syllable and rhymes with hi
О о: o (oh) example: nO
У у: u (oo) example: rUde
Э э: e (eh) example: mEt
Ю ю: yu (yoo) example: YOU
Я я: ya (yah) example: YArd

A few consonants. Eventually I'll put it in the right order, just not now.

Б б: b (beh) example: Bed
В в: v (veh) example: Vine
Г г: g (geh) example: Good
Д д: d (deh) example: Doom
Ж ж: zh (zheh) example: pleaSure
З з: z (zeh) example: Zebra

Н н: n (en) example: Noob

Ъ ъ: written as ' or sometimes " (tvyord-ee znak) just prevents palatalization of last letter
Ы ы: i/y (how do i write a pronunciation for this...) example: sIlly
Ь ь: written as ' usually (myahg-kee znak) slight palatalization on last letter

Hmm... I'll give you some short words in Russian, then you transliterate them (put it in the English alphabet). Example: папа is papa because п is p and а is a. You can peak at my information on the alphabet.

кот
цветок
стол
здание
шляпа
море

Russian щ is a voiceless palato-alveolar fricative. Just like s is, but s is a voiceless z. In other words it's a really soft sh.

I should teach you about some letter combinations that make completely different sounds than anything in the alphabet. Remember Russian is a very phonetic language but you'll just need to know these. There's only very few words that break the phonetic rules, for example пожалуйста, where the уй isn't pronounced. pah-zhal-stah

дж: j (English one)
яй: yay (rhymes with hi)
ай: ay (above sound without first y)
ей: yey (sounds like yay, rhymes with hey)
эй: ey (above without the y sound in front of it)
уй: uy (lol no example search for the pronunciation)
юй: yuy (same as above with a y sound in front)
ой: oy (rhymes with boy)
ый/ий: iy/ii (longer и sound)

If any of those й's don't have the accent above it, and are и's, they are two different syllables. аи: ah-ee

Also, if e, я, or ю come after a vowel, the sound of the last vowel is similar to ай, ей, ий, etc. ая: ay-ya (ay rhymes with hi!)

That being said, my name means blue in Russian, transliterated to Cyrillic it's синий. ий :Ь

O also sounds like A if it's unstressed, I believe.

Yeah, it's like the o in cOver. Sounds like uh. A is like ah (example: cAt).

The sounds for Russian letters are really similar to Polish letters. I'm Polish, and I'm learning Russian. xD

I'm the same person as above. Anything specific you'd like to learn? Numbers? Colours? Animals?
