Russian alphabet
The official language of The Russian Federation is Russian. The alphabet is Cyrillic and has 33 letters. It is completely different from most European languages, but has some similiarities. For example, metro is метро, hotel is отель, park is парк, toilet is туалет etc. If you learn some basic phrases in Russian or learn to recognize letters it is much easier to get around the city.
The Russian alphabet consists of 33 letters, 11 vowels, 20 consonants and 2 letters which do not have a sound (instead they make the word harder or softer). Also hand written Russian looks different to printed Russian.
