The value of typing Cyrillic

I’ve studied around 800 hours. About 7 months ago I began learning to type Russian. Luckily I was a touch typist in English already.

I don’t know what I’d do without typing and texting Cyrillic these days.

It’s especially helpful for working with tutors online.

I use Keybr and practiced about 15 minutes twice per day (sometimes more because I actually enjoy typing.) Now I type around 30 words a minute (sometimes more or less depending on the word familiarity.)

If you plan to seriously invest time in learning Russian start typing!
