To introduce one of the new letters, we present a Russian Alphabet Picture Drama (a play in one act).
At the right is a picture of a barricade. Whenever you see a barricade, you naturally think of no entry. |
At the right is a Russian letter that looks very much like a barricade, and it has the sound of the first consonant in the words no entry. | Н |

---|---|---|
Н | н | n in no |
Е | е | ye in yet |
Т | т | t in top |
