===Identical Letters===
The Cyrillic alphabet is based on a version of the Greek Alphabet, and the Latin Alphabet is also based on a version of the Greek Alphabet. Thus, there are many similarities between the two alphabets, which makes it much easier to learn the Russian Alphabet.
The following letters are the same in Russian as they are in English:
* Аа - As in "water" (never like apple)
* Кк - As in "kite"
* Мм - As in "mother"
* Оо - As in "bore" when stressed, and as in "father" when unstressed
* Тт - As in "top"
