For years I have been wanting to learn the Russian alphabet (along with Greek and Hebrew). Cyrillic is name after Cyril, a monk, who, together with his brother, devised the Cyrillic alphabet used by Russia and with variations by Bulgaria and Ukraine.

Here are my memory aids.

Tilda

The tilda or wavy line in Spanish turns the n into a ny as in a Spanish or Spanish American canyon. In Cyrillic the tilda goes a step further and means the sound is y.

The p becomes an r, but not just any r, a trilled or thrilled r as in Spanish and Italian and Indonesian.rted t

H

The H looks like the lower half of the H.

The l looks like you started to write the lower case l but got called away in the middle when a letter fell through the letterbox.

B and V

The b is a v. But a real b has a little line like a shelf over a radiator across the top, or the tiny tray on top of a half tester bed. B with a line for b as in bed.
