The consonant letter й is sometimes called a semivowel. - and rest of the two letters of the Russian alphabets are signs and therefore, do not designate any sounds. They are the "soft sign" (ь) and the "hard sign" (ъ). ## How to Write the Russian Alphabets Online: https://www.lexilogos.com/keyboard/russian.htm Android: Gboard - the Google Keyboard IOS: Gboard - the Google Keyboard ## Read and Write Russian Resources [Russian For Everyone](http://www.russianforeveryone.com/RufeA/Lessons/Introduction/Alphabet/Alphabet.htm) [Russian Lessons](http://www.russianlessons.net/lessons/lesson1_main.php) [Lingualift](https://www.lingualift.com/blog/russian-cursive-writing-practice-sheet/) [Everyday Russian Language](https://everydayrussianlanguage.com/en/russian-grammar/russian-alphabet/) https://steemitimages.com/DQmeiTt8eubX2jKD3ALYKTn1xBjxZtN3VAoVMGhQ8hZopzA/Line%20Big%20Steem%20Pink%20Divider.png We hope you have learnt something from this post.
