NOTES:

  1. Know the order of the letters in the Russian alphabet!
    
        А  Б  В  Г  Д  Е  Ё  Д  З  И  Й  
    
        К  Л  М  Н  О  П  Р  С  Т  У  Ф
    
        Х  Ц  Ч  Ш  Щ  Ъ  Ы  Ь  Э  Ю  Я
    
    
  2. A is for apple and Я is for ЯБЛОКО! This might help you to remember that Я is the last letter of the Russian alphabet. Also keep in mind that there are thirty-three letters in the Russian alphabet.
    
    
  3. Ё is located in different parts of the keyboard on different versions of the Russian keyboard! On some keyboard layouts Ё is located to the left of the 1 key. A second location Ё is sometimes found is on the key used for the forward slash (\) on standard English layout. The third likely location is on the key used for the questions mark (?).
