This is the penultimate Cyrillic alphabet lesson in the series, and covers the last two letters; the hard and soft signs, which have no sound of their own. It remains for Huliganov to round off next time by putting the letters in the order you will find in the dictionary and show you some peculiarities in the hand writing.

As ever, Huliganov finishes off the lesson with a joke and a song. This time my daughter helps me do a request from one of my loyal viewers.

Chords for the song:

Eb Bb Bb7 Eb

Я был когда-то странной
игрушкой безымянной,
К которой в магазине
никто не подойдет.
Теперь я - Чебурашка,
мне каждая дворняжка
При встрече сразу
лапу подает.

Мне не везло сначала,
и даже так бывало:
Ко мне на день рожденья
никто не приходил.
Теперь я вместе с Геной,
он необыкновенный,
Он самый лучший
в мире крокодил.

Я был когда-то странной
игрушкой безымянной,
К которой в магазине
никто не подойдет.
Теперь я - Чебурашка,
мне каждая дворняжка
При встрече сразу
лапу подает.

Let me just give a brief translation of the words:

"I used to be this odd, nameless toy which no-one came to look at in the store. Now I've got a name - Cheburashka, and every pooch on the block offers his paw to me on sight.

I was out of luck at the start - once I even had a birthday party and no-one turned up. Now I'm partners with Gena, he's extraordinary, he is - the best crocodile in the whole world."
