I just started too, surprisingly the alphabet section on duolingo for Russian was helpful. It would show you how to pronounce each character and then display them as flashcards and you had to get it right, doing that over and over was helpful for remembering the characters but beyond that idk
I created my own flashcards and in 2 weeks I mastered them. I think you can find printable ones or apps that do have flashcards, or you create them yourself using pen and paper, it should take 30 minutes.
Starting is the hardest part because you will know very few of them and it will seem very hard. But the more you practice, the more your brain will be tired of not knowing and really trying to remember, and it will get easier
On YouTube you can find songs for kids with the alphabet, the songs are easy to remember and show the letters and animals that start with the letter, that helped me alot.
Try Corrus - Essential Russian Online. Good explanations, a lot of audio. The first lessons (including those explaining the alphabet) are free. https://langint.com/corrus
I learned the alphabet but it was extremely weird reading it and having no idea what anything really meant, also not knowing what it natively sounded like; my wife gave me so many weird looks when trying to show what I had learned by reading Russian out loud.
I’ve found learning the language has actually helped learn the alphabet.
Russian - is very difficult language, I’m saying it because I’m native speaker) English - is more easier. After alphabet, try to learn the grammar (it hardly!!) and then- simple sentences for kids. To do so, you will open a path to great literature like Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Pushkin (the sun of the Russian poetry). That must be enough for understanding Russian, and for understanding the soul’s of the Russian people and their culture. I wish a good luck to you.
