I am really impressed by your teaching style. I love your voice. Best wishes to you.
I appreciate it, Megh!
You mess with the law you get the megh
My first name is David, so I am familiar with the "giant deformed 'A' that looks like a crab" 😂.
Thank you again for making the Cyrillic alphabet digestible for us English speaking people in North America, Europe and Australia!
you have a funny nice way of teaching .. like it
Thanks for your feedback, Mohamed. Glad you like it.
Elena Jung u are hot
@@Wonderaccent Excerlent video.
Thank you very much to this lesson big help to me wanted to learn some languages appreciate so much to your effort to teach i learn a lot
This is the best way to teach pronunciation. When she uses the English language equivalent of each letter, it strips away the mystery and shows you already know how to pronounce the letter based on a word in which you already use it.
Yes, it's perfect!
I love your teaching style. You're very endearing and make the language seem much less intimidating than it is. I'm going to Russia on a very last minute trip in two weeks, and I've been playing this to help me keep calm and learn Cyrillic. Very well done!!
Elena, I have watched numerous alphabet videos but yours kept me locked in. Like I couldn't get away. Excellent job! And thank you for sharing with us.
So happy to read your comment, Johnson! My pleasure to be able to help you!
I still can't differentiate the sound of ш and щ. Can you please elaborate more?
Good practice is to listen to audio minimal pairs with these 2 sounds and train your ear.
The sound is similar but Щ start with a S. Something like that. The google translater help a lot. You tipe de letter Щ, then clik the button hear\listen. Repeat for Ш .
It took a while for me as well. The key for me was two words - shoe (ш) and sheep (щ). Say the two words slowly, exaggerating the sh sound at the beginning and note carefully how your mouth naturally forms to start to say each word. You'll notice that your lips and teeth are in different positions for each and the щ sound for sheep sounds higher pitched. Hopefully this will help you. I still have problems with ы. I can do it OK on its own, but in the middle of words I have trouble. It will come with practice!
I've found that having taken a class in linguistics really helps me differentiate between the more similar-sounding letters and vowel sounds. A lot of it has to do with mouth shape and tongue placement.
Second one is softer than the first one
that singing got you another subscriber.
Очень рада! Надеюсь также, что Вы узнали что-то полезное для себя в этом видео.
+1 i love singing
I can't believe I am reading and sounding out Cyrillic letters in 10 minutes. I am not even finished the video yet and I am reading and sounding words out. Love this! Thanks so much for posting. Your teaching style is great. Very positive energy.
That's exactly what I was aiming for! Well done! And thank you for sharing!
i started learning Russian recently and i really struggled with the letters , your video solved all my problems :D , i'm looking forward for all your videos from now on , and here's a little tip , you don't have to take the whole video on one go , you edit it you know ;) , thank you again for the video it was really great and helpful!
thanks for your comment, Khaled.
Are you good in it yet
@@POM_BAD yeah i've been living in Russia all this time , i'm almost fluent in it right now :D
@@khaledeid2045 bravo my man
@@khaledeid2045 is it nice over there?
I am learning russian because I love shashka and want to understand Ойся, ты ойся. my greatest problem is that I have been 78 years in the Latin alphabet and the cyrillic is so different, but I'm not going away. best wishes from wales in the UK
That was amazing. Now I can read cyrillic after just 26 minutes. I thought it would take months of practice but this was simple, fast & straight to the point. Even if I don't pronounce the words correctly, I at least know the letters & sounds. You definitely have a new subscriber. Thank you.
Hi, Elena, fine presentation, but I have to mention one oversight and one suggestion so that your students can better relate and remember the concepts.
You missed the Russian letter "H" (n) on the early part of your presentation and it would be of great help if you could write in small letters right under the Russian
letters the English sound equivalent; you have it all in your head, but your new English speaking students do not.
Thank you.
I feel like you just became my best friend. 😂 Thank you so much!
Oh I'll take it!!! Thank you!
The other videos I tried to learn Cyrillic with were too fast or 2 hours long. Thank you.
Thanks for your feedback! Let me know how you feel about other videos.
you include a lot of vocabulary in the lesson! your video is very useful! спасибо!
Excellent teacher! Greetings from Argentina. Don't cry for me....
I really love the way you teach your audience. Great prounciation, really good examples! Love to learn more from you this way. Keep on the good work.
So great to hear your feedback! I really appreciate that! Hope you found some other helpful videos. Let me know if you need help!
Spasiba, you are the best one teaches Russian alphabet with Clear hand writing and interesting Sounds!
that was amazing! Russian seems like a complex language because of its alphabet but your way of teaching is really simple and lovely!
Oh I'm so happy to read this! Lots of things only seem complex. It's all about our intention, goal and the system we use to get where we want to be!
I nearly fell out of my chair laughing from the Karaoke and the Flinstones references. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Learned a LOT in a short time: a perfect way to learn something that his dull, hard and extremely valuable. Great job! I hope all my efforts to learn Russian will be so entertaining and valuable.
I love Паста 🍝
I love суп
I love виски мууу-хахахаха

Pasta? 😏
Sup
I am Mongolian. We use this exact alphabet. I would no problem at all. I am self teaching Russian. cross fingers🤞
Thank you for your comment, Sarantuya. Well done and keep it up!
Well done. Fits with my learning style. You give me plenty of time to repeat and practice without pausing. I can easily read, write, and speak along with you. Until the very end when you lost me completely. It took me a while to realize you were counting! 😃
So glad it was helpful for you! Haha) It's a whole different level when letters and numbers come together 😆
U really sound so pretty 🤍 ,I just waited for you to sing after every letter 😂
I love your style so much. Putting it to music (by singing) helps so much. Another commenter said they wanted pictures... I disagree. That would probably dilute the process of connecting the cyrillic letters visually to sounds in the brain. Bravo, I wish everything was taught with this kind of careful thought.
Thank you for your feedback, Aurora! I'm glad you enjoy it and find it helpful.
Best thirty minute tutorial I've seen. Great singing voice too!
I appreciate you are here.
Elena, thank you so much!I'm from Brazil, and I'm trying to learn russian, and even with a printed material I was having a hard time learning the difference between hard and soft signs, but with your explanation I finally understand!I subscribed your channel and I'll keep watching your lessons, you are great. Thank you so much!
Hey, I'm glad I could help you with the hard and soft signs. Hope you'll find other videos helpful as well.
Hi Eлена, thanks for your lesson!! You give us some word examples using the russian letter "H" in 3:50 and 6:35, but you haven't told us about this letter. In 26:01 you are calling "C" as [cэ], not [эc] and the same with "ф" later.
And also, as I see your accent is more "hard russian" comparing to others in other video-lessons. Is this accent from Moscow?
Hey Kostas, thanks for your feedback. Good catch. You're right, letters C and Ф are called as [эс] and [эф]. And yes, my accent is from Moscow.
Hi -- I had the same comment. I've heard other alphabet videos refer to 'ef' and 'che', rather than 'feh' and 'cha,' as you did. Can you clarify?
Название буквы и произношение - разные вещи.
Плюс названия бывают официальные, а бывают в простой речи, которые даже закрепляются в произношении аббревиатур.
Thank you! I’ve been watching so many videos and could never get a good understanding of the alphabet, until I found your video. You do a really good job, at helping me understand.
OMG I needed this refresher!!! You are amazing!! And I added my name to the list so I may review an alert when an opening is available for your classes again. Of course the classes are maxed out - you’re good!
Thank you so much for your warm words! Feel free to DM me on IG if you have any questions or need help🙌🏼
Your a great teacher 👩🏫 I have been learning Russian for the past week will not stop ether because I love your guys country I hope you are safe after all you guys are in war I hope my country does not affect the way you guys will treat Americans after the war ❤

I could watch this a hundred times and still nit get sick of listening to your method of teaching, that apart from lovely voice. Nicely done and thanks.
Glad you like it, George. Your feedback is much appreciated.

Oh thank you so much for watching and for your warm words! So glad you're here!
@@Wonderaccent You are so welcome.
I enjoyed this. Thank you.
So glad to know that! Thank you!!!
wow! that was a lot of information! very well presented, at a great pace.
I love languages, and will keep practicing with this video, and your other resources. I like that you use songs to associate the sounds.
Only thing missing are pictures, some words I didn't understand... I should install the Russian keyboard and write the word))
thanks for this effort, and I will see YOU in your other videos;))
Thanks for your feedback, Dave.
пожалуйста Elena))
Elena Jung пожалуйста
thanks so much, I have like 5 russian friends in my friend group and for fun i wanna be able to text them back and forth in russian, and although it’ll take a while i appreciate all the help i can get. Your teaching style is great! So sick.
You are a great friend
Excellent effort, well done. My first ever attempt to read Russian and you happen to be my first teacher, seems like I am making progress. Thank You!
this, is a language coach. you are in her heart and mind as you listen. adding music is really next level. ive had the privilege to have learned with some great ppl... this woman could easily be among them based on what im seeing. i hope she is having a good day!!!
I've just started to learn russian. This was my first day and I must say I'm impressed by your teaching style. Thank you so much.
thank you for your feedback, Zeba. how are you going now?
Mam please can you upload more such vedios for learning russian ? I would be very greatful. I love the way you teach
I'm focused now on creating my Russian course so I'm not filming new videos for youtube at the moment.
You taught in a way that I can relate to while keeping attention and focus. спасибо!
Absolutely love this. I've watched so many videos trying to learn the best way to pronounce and write these letters and this was by far the most helpful!
So glad to hear that Deigo! What is your next step?
whats the next step deigo
She is fantastic teaching, I never had contact with this idiom and now I can read cyrillic
Every time I watch the video, I want to remove the like and put it again. I'm impressed. You are an amazing teacher💛
Don't cry for me Argentina! I instantly fell in love with that part, as I'm from Argentina
As an English speaker I have heard that A K M O T are the letters that are similar to English, but everything else is very different.
I appreciate this teaching style, coming from an American perspective. Thank you so much!
Wow, love the teaching method. Am starting to learn Russian and what better way than to have the Lady Lara Croft method, seriously playful or playfully serious 👍
Lady Lara Croft... sounds awesome! I'll take it. And you're very welcome!
I'm definitely watching this everyday from now on, this language lesson is even fun thanks for taking your time to make this!! :)
I don't know how to thank you for this video it was very helpful I love russian language and I hope soon I will become good in it
Thank you so much for posting this! Your singing during your lessons really helps to reinforce your points and is quite pleasant to listen to....keep up the good work!

Best Russian Alphabet Class Ever! It's Funny How I Missed You When It Finished! Your Teaching Is Perfect. Your Musical Taste Is Perfect. You Are Perfect. I Can't Thank You Enough...
Richard Phillips Singer THOSE LETTERS AREN'T RUSSIAN. THE ALPHABET WAS INSPIRED BY THE GREEK ALPHABET AND WAS MADE FOR BULGARIANS BY KLIMENT OF OHRID (WHO WAS NOT A MACEDONIAN BECAUSE AT THAT TIME MACEDONIANS DIDN'T EXIST.). I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY THAT STUPID TO BELIEVE THAT THIS ALPHABET IS RUSSIAN BECAUSE THEY USUALLY SEE IT FROM THE RUSSIAN LANGUAGE INSTEAD OF DOING A RESEARCH ABOUT IT!
Thanks for be out good teacher. Russia are out brothers long life to Russia from America latina 🇻🇪💪🇻🇪💪🇸🇮💪💪❤💪
🙌🏼🎉💪🏼
Elena jung salam to you
your mdthod of teaching russian alphabet is very very excellent.she pronounces the letter sound three times.then she gave words common between russian and english
however she should have transliterated strange-sounding russian words into english alphabet
Hi. Thank you so much for this video. I spent a couple days using apps and flash cards to learn the alphabet and it wasn’t really working. I watched this video twice and nailed it. I love your way of teaching it. Many thanks!
Flash cards are great! So happy I could help!
I watched again to refresh...just love it. Thank you...also your counting at the end is great.
I'm Korean and I'm learning Russian these days. Thanks for your teaching!!
Hi there! Beautiful! And you're so welcome!!!

Thank u ma'am ... Love from India 🇮🇳
watched three videos and wasn't feeling confident...but this is it! great teaching style.
wow I know this video is a year old but it's the best! the best way that I could remember was by your teaching. Thanks!
hey Andy, good to know that. thank you for sharing. and you're most welcome!
I love the way you sing each letter. Your voice is very attractive.
Your teaching is awesome.. easy, fun and clear. Like your vibe, energy and passion for teaching... wish you everything good ahead..❤️
I agree with Johnson Cannon, you kept my attention to the end. Perfect job, and within 60 minutes (2x video) I was able read cyrillic!!
I really enjoyed this video. It really makes a difference listening to a native speaker while trying to learn. New subscriber! Looking forward to using your channel as I learn. I especially like that you have some videos where you speak slower too.
glad to see you here and thank you for your comment. feel free to keep me posted with your progress.
WOW WOW WOW this strategy of teaching is WONDERFUL. thank you so much for this, it was extremely helpful!
Yay!!! Awesome to hear that! 🙌🏼
I'm just starting to learn and it is really difficult trying to understand a new language. but to me it kind of makes more sense in English does
Thank you for this video. Your teaching style is perfect, made my learning the symbols and sounds soooooo much easier. Still watching and rewatching to get better.

И вам спасибо!
Nice video ! Im from bulgaria the country that created the cyrillic alphabet :)
Yes that's what I wanted, a beautiful and easy way to teach, thank you
Starting off with the Cyrillic alphabet helped me alot i can pronounce russian slowly.
This was fun. And easy way to recognize the letters with their sounds. Thank you
Great to know it helps you, Sara.
I love your teaching method - you make it all so easy to understand! Keep up your good work!
It's the tricky consonant sounds and modifiers that people seem to struggle with. I like the way you use simple melodic references as a mnemonic. Now I can see how the modifiers shape the sounds. Thanks for your video!
Hey. My computer crashed and I lost everything, including your priceless video. But here I am again, to start over, and you are my inspiration!
Love this teaching style, I tried so many times to learnt cyrillic by myself but just now I succeeded.
I love the visualization thing in the beginning, I know many other russian women that use manifestation in other fields of life, I wonder if it´s cultural or it´s just become increasingly popular....
Thank you so much Elena
Well...Hi from Brazil..I just loved the energy thing. I'm in love with Russian language. ..
oh that's great! yeeees! energy is important!
Best instructional lesson for the Russian Alphabet that I found on here. Great lesson!
i appreciate your feedback. have a good one!
Пожалуйста! :)
This is six years later and the lesson is still very helpful.
However, I will need to search out the meaning of some of the words formed.
In the beginning, Cyrilic seems daunting. Actually, it is not more difficult than English letters! It is true that English has only 26 letters. But since English is not phonic, a beginner has to memorise the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) to as to learn the correct pronunciation of each English word. English has more sounds. It is true that the English grammar is really easy.
The way you teach makes learning fun. Love to see your video classes. I feel confident now with the letters. Thank you Elena.
hey Jay, good to know that. thank you for sharing. hope you enjoyed the 100-word practice as well.
Elena, sometimes i have a hard time remembering the words. It sounds very confusing and also remembering the word meanings is difficult. What is the easiest way of remembering the meanings and words?
hey Jay, constant practice will help you get more confident in reading and pronunciation. it's an audio exercise - here is the link www.wonderaccent.com/get-101words
let me know how it works for you.
Jay, what methods exactly have you tried in terms of remembering the words and their meanings?
I wrote down the words and tried to remember them and their pronunciations but when i learn one, i forget the other.
Очень хорошо, мне нравится, когда ты поешь "Не плачь по мне, Аргентина".
Spáciba!!!
This lesson was very very motivating.
That's the best!!! Рада помочь!!!
thank you so much....the exercise prior to the class is so energetic.... I search for you on Instagram but it seems I was wrong about your page title😂
Great video. I'm learning Russian. Thank you.
That's awesome! And thank YOU!
I learned more watching this video than spending 2 hours in class tonight. Thank you!
grateful for your feedback, Laura. how are you going with your Russian now?
Awesome video. Very creative teaching style! Thank you Elena!!
This is a wonderful lesson. You are a gifted and generous woman for sharing such a wonderful gift with the world.
I was looking for some strategies to memorize Russian alphabet and suddenly I found you here!
Congrats on teaching gold content for free! Elena you are also charismatic and a good singer ;)
Amazing. I have schedule to travel Moscow this summer, so, your instruction is very helpful to me.
Happy to help. Do you still plan to go?
Please recommend some famous Russian songs and movies. I'd love to watch/listen it even if I still don't understand a thing.
Thanks for your question. I'll make a video about movies and songs soon.
Check out a Russian singer called Glukoza; this is one reason I'm learning Russian. Look for the lyrics too and you can follow along or look at the translation.

Can confirm that I learned more from her half hour, than from 2+ hours with some stupid PhD teaching assistant at my university.
Do you have a patreon? I'd happily subscribe if I could see more videos
I really like how short your video is yet it has so much to offer.
Thanks for that! And yes, I like how short it is too!
I am Indian🇮🇳 boy Excellent example ❤❤❤
