One of the most important parts of learning the alphabet and the Russian language in general is getting used to typing on a Russian keyboard. I recommend starting to use the Cyrillic alphabet on your computer as soon as possible. Here are a couple suggestions for you: – Start with typing online (using a keyboard at the very beginning might be frustrating:)). Check out this site – – Order the Russian keyboard on eBay or Amazon. Here you have three ways: 1) you can buy stickers and put them on the Latin characters one by one (kind of a meditating process!); 2) you can buy a silicone keyboard cover (best choice for Mac); 3) you can buy a Russian USB keyboard itself. Each of them cost no more than $10, so it’s up to you to decide which one is better.
