Tips for learning new alphabet?

[LilaMable]

I'm new to Ukrainian. I've done a bit of Latin and Spanish (I'm a native English speaker) but this the first language I've started learning with a different alphabet.
Are there are tips or things I should know? Thank in advance!

Hi! i'm also a beginner. Here you have a link for very useful materials, with audiofiles and pdf script. It helped me a lot.

The Cyrillic alphabet doesn't take long to figure out. Just know that it's entirely phonetic, so the letter you see stays with however it's pronounced no matter how basic or advanced you are in Ukrainian.

no it's not

Ukrainian is fairly close to being phonetic but still there are Є Ю Я with more than 1 pronunciation, plus you got consonants being voiced (i.e. Ш being pronounced as Ж) and apparently also A is pronounced differently depending if it's stressed or not (but they're very close so irl I've never noticed any difference)

in other languages like Russian it's much more wild, like Я has at least 9 different pronunciations there

I don't think any language is entirely phonetic, or at least I haven't heard about such one yet

True. I should have said almost entirely phonetic.
