	Alphabet and Spelling Rules
		The Russian alphabet is generally effective at conveying the sounds necessary for the correct pronunciation of Russian.
		Russian considers the default to be a hard consonant, so the letter -Д- on its own is hard.
		This is an important concept, because generally when adding or changing the endings of words in Russian you cannot change the hardness or softness of the affected consonant -- so hard stays hard, and soft stays soft (with the exception of the prepositional case and some dative endings).

		However, Russians are supposed to know when to say 'yo' and so the two dots are omitted, except in rare cases.

	Why Study Russian? (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Russian has had the reputation of being a difficult language to learn, and it is indeed somewhat more difficult for a native English speaker than French, Spanish, or German.
		Of course, the Russian alphabet--called Cyrillic in honor of St. Cyril who 1,000 years ago invented an alphabet used by many Slavic peoples--is different and apprehension about the alphabet is, in fact, one of the most frequently given reasons for not studying Russian.
		This is unfortunate because the Russian alphabet is not at all difficult to learn.
