ok so a site that helps with the russian alphabet is omniglot another good site is langintro. these sites are realy good but if you want to learn cursive that is going to be tricky. if you look at omniglot it is easy to follow. the authour is realy nice and well he put the site together very well done. i found the site years ago and i never stop looking at it. simon if your reading this good job!!!!
