Hi, Katrina!
Anyway, it is for you to decide, if the question you're interested in should be in questions or notebook entry.
Why have you started from those letters, tell me, please?
To tell you the truth, I wouldn't have recommended you to start even from an alphabet, it is a Path, which leads nowhere, believe me. I would have recommended you to start, from listening, imagine to yourself, that you are a little child, just newborn, what would you do? yes, you would have listened to the world around, noises, yes, exactly, someone speaks something, they laugh, shout, keep silence, breath... they SPEAK, my first tip for you, one the way of learning russian, or any other language, will be the next, find somewhere a little dialogue, in russian, without any redundant or odd noises, - pure talking, in a normal way, with normal speed, and listen to it, they look into the text of this dialogue, listen and watch, then try to pronounce, you'll know when you're ready to start to pronounce, to proclaim, loudy, please. Don't fear.
