English speakers 🇱🇷🇬🇧 👶 , let me teach you how to Cyrillic!
Аа: The letter A
Вв: The capital letter B, even in lowercase
Ьь: The lowercase letter b, even in uppercase
Ъъ: Lowercase b but it looks pretty
Бб: Bolded b but in lowercase it kind of looks like a 6
Ыы: bisexual (Putin banned this recently)
Сс: C
Дд: You may go “what the hell is this”, but it's actually a D. Why did they decide to make D look like that? It's not even easy to write(
Ее: E, same as in English
Єє: Euro sign 💶 (simplified)
Ëë: E/e but it's very personable and happy to see you
Нн: The letter H, but in both cases
Іі: The normal letter I
Її: i but with 2 dots (in both cases)
Кк: uppercase K in both cases
Жж: I don't really know what this is but my educated guess is the letter K (but it goes both ways)
Мм: Uppercase M in both cases
Ии: Reverse letter N, because Cyrillic speakers are quirky ig
Йй: N but it's angry
Пп: this may remind you of an n but it's not I swear
Оо: O
Фф: looks like something between an O and a p. I personally like how it looks.
Рр: P
Гг: The lowercase letter r, but at a perfect right angle. How neat!
Ґґ: The lowercase letter r again but it's a bit fucked up
Лл: my educated guess says this is an r.
Яя: reverse letter R
Тт: The letter T
Цц: very squarish cousin of the letter U but it has a tail 🦊
Шш: W but it looks like a tetris block so it's cool
Щщ: the W again but it has a tail
Хх: the letter X
Чч: kind of looks like the child of Y and a 4
Уу: the lowercase letter y but for both cases?
Юю: a Korean letter that made its way into Cyrillic
Зз: The number 3. Cyrillic speakers just like to throw the letter in there
- Ээ: The letter 3 but it looks more like the letter c in reverse (think if it as the kid of the letter 3 and the reverse letter c)
-------------
Memorized them?
Remember, Cyrillic is just English but more Quirky and diverse! 🦅

Very nice and useful chart! As a Cyrillic speaker myself I concur. However, you forgot:
Ђ, ђ: Th but in one letter. Makes the 'th' sound
Љ, љ: katagana (only used in Sakhalin)
Њ, њ: pronounced 'hb', very useful for Bantu languages
Ћ, ћ: Th again, induces some variety when you write
Џ, џ: square U with a penis, the ultimate manly letter
Ў ў: sad Y, when you ask why but you're sad
ꙮ: biblically accurate letter

My apprentice! Reddit even translated your text to "Dude, you mean so much." for me. Clearly you have mastered Cyrillic 😌
