Notes:

• The letter Е е may sound like ye in yes, or e in met. 🧩 Deep Dive
• The letter О о sounds like o in more when it’s stressed. When it’s unstressed, it sounds more like a in about. We’ll cover that in more detail later.
• Sometimes С с is not a true friend. In English, the letters k, c, s are used to represent sounds [k] or [s] (e.g., cat vs. center). In Russian, it’s simpler:
  • К к is always [k] (like Kit).
  • С с is always [s] (like C in Celsius or Center).
  So Russian doesn’t need an extra letter S. You’ll use К for [k] and С for [s] every time!
