i have just started on lingq for russian, i can see that you start off by learning words, and when you click them you get their translation, but i cannot even say them out loud of i dont know what each letters represents.
am i just not able to find the part that teaches you the letters first? or am i approaching this the wrong way?
I think there might be some lessons that help with learning the alphabet, but I would recommend just spending a few hours or a few days on learning the Cyrillic alphabet. You can find lots of good resources through Google for this. It will help a lot when learning Russian 
Thats a great idea, i just assumed EVERYTHING would be on this one program.
thanks for the advice.
