the cyrllic alphabet

Of course learning the cyrllic alphabet and the sounds that all the letters make is a critical starting point for your (and my!) journey to understanding Russian.  I have pretty much got these five letters figured out.

So I guess I should start on the next five.  Some of the Russian letters are the same but most are weird.  Why can't the stupid russians just use the right letters for the right sounds?  It's probably because it's so cold in Siberia.  Some people ask me why I want to learn Russian and I just tell them since Putin is so set on conquering the world I might as well be able to negotiate our surrender when his troops invade.

I really think flash cards are a great way to force specific knowledge into your head.  Hopefully I continue with my study of Russian!  I guess it would help if I spent more time studying the language and less time telling you all about my studies.  If you have an interest in Russian I say you join me in my efforts to learn it.  Learning a foreign language is great for your mind!  Plus then once you know it you can curse people out and they don't even know what you are saying.

EDIT :

I created a second set of flash cards, viewable here :

for the next 5 letters.  I'll get these damn Russian dogs and their silly language yet!

I am doing pretty good in my study of these so far!  This flash card method is the bomb!
