The most important Cyrillic alphabet rules to master early on include understanding the unique letters and their sounds, which differ from the Latin alphabet; learning both uppercase and lowercase forms; and mastering letter-sound correspondences essential for pronunciation. Additionally, recognizing which letters represent vowel sounds versus consonants and becoming familiar with soft and hard signs that modify pronunciation are key early steps in learning the Cyrillic script. 1

Key Points to Focus on Early
