Learn the Cyrillic alphabet in one video

In this video we'll use phonetic translation to learn Cyrillic letters in a matter of minutes to help you read Russian, Serbian, Macedonian, Bulgarian or other languages using the Cyrillic/Slavic/Bulgarian alphabet.

I highly encourage you to practice by doing your own phonetic translations with the help of a phonetic Cyrillic keyboard on your device.

Check out this video on how to get a Cyrillic keyboard:

In Russia we have such a prank -- borrow your friend's smartphone and change Russian key alphabet to Bulgarian one, letters are same, but the order is completely different, to find the right letter you need a time and to suffer a little, also the friend may not immediately understand what happened

Tom Holland has Growned a lot that he teaches us how to pronounce Cyrillics

I learned a lot of Cyrillic with those examples in phonetic translations. Spent 30mins on 9min vid. I wish you could provide more of them. I'm learning Bulgarian for vacations. G'day from Poland

Hello, sir! Very good lesson. I know nothing of Cyrillic...I'm American, a professor of French language. I enjoyed the pace of your speech and your devices to memorize the sounds. Best of all your encouragement is warm, friendly, and sincere. Thank you kindly.

Using the Cyrillic alphabet for english words is a smart way to learn. I never thought of that.

Vuk Karadzic(serbian linguist from 19century) once said write the way you speak, and read as you write

I am an Arab who was taught French, then English then German at a very young age, ,Cyrillic seems intimidating at first but once you know the difference, it is very easy to read, much more accurate than English, ,the flipped or rolled r is the same for Arabs & Italians .

Сперва я подумал, что автор просто забыл букву "Ы", а в конце ролика понял, что речь идёт про Болгарский язык ))

That's the best explanation I have ever seen so far! Nice job

Много благодаря за първи път виждам някой който да учи хората на български!😃 Thank you very much I saw for the first time someone who teaches people Bulgarian!

[Attaxalotl]

As an english (and spanish to some extent) speaker; the letters only having one sound a piece is something I'm not used to, and _very_ grateful for.

This was so helpful! I have been using duo lingo for a few months and this 10 minute video was exponentially more helpful!! Thank you so much for making this man. Since I have watched this I have been flying through my studies. I will always recommend this to anyone that wants to learn Cyrillic/Russian. Cheers! 😊

Good video! My brother studied languages at the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center in California. The pace of study was intense. Students had to master the language course in 36-64 weeks. Psychologically it was very difficult, but fortunately he was helped by Yuriy Ivantsiv's book "Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign languages”. The book " Polyglot Notes" became a desk book for my brother, because it has answers to all the problems that any student of a foreign language has to face. Thanks to the author of the channel for this interesting video! Good luck to everyone who studies a foreign language and wants to realize their full potential!

Awesome content. Hello from Russia
🇷🇺❤🇧🇬

[albenael]

Very nice! I’m Bulgarian and I can read and easily understand all “Slavic “ alphabets and languages, because of the Bulgarian alphabet:
Also there are
A- аз
Б- буки
В- веди
Г- глаголь
Д- добро
Е-ест
Ж- живете ..( Глаголица )
...

Nice work 😊

Thank you very much; this is hugely helpful. The mnemonics are really easy to remember, as is your description. I had been struggling for days to remember even a few letters, but with just one viewing of this video, I had memorized all of them.

[galathilion]

I swear to god I thought this was impossible to learn. And then after a 10 min video I no longer see weird symbols when looking at Cyrillic. Thank you so much!

[hazablast]

For the past one year before every Russian test or class review, i come back to this video and this only. I have noted down what you teach and revise my Cyrillic with your help.
Thank you so much i have been doing very well in learning Russian as a foreign language in my Университет. Ilook forward to bettering my understanding of Russian language within 2023.
Love from India 🇮🇳

Спасибо вам ❤
