[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Russian major here who has been using duolingo as a refresher. Have them learn the cyrillic alphabet, which is actually pretty easy and is basically like the greek alphabet. That will allow them to sound out words. (For instance, PECTOPAH is pronounced restoran, as the P is an R, the C is an S, and the H is an N—that’s the word for retaurant.). They then can use duolingo for a basic introduction, but I agree with PP that it’s not going to be sufficient for Russian. The grammar is a bear and there are tons of irregularities on top of very complex rules. [/quote] To add, your child will need to know cursive writing to get by in a Russian language environment. I don’t know what I would have done had I not known English cursive. This is if you want the child to use the language. [/quote]
