this is a thng which is super difficult to explaine because there is no exact rules on where to put the stress. i have looked all over and couldnt find a thing but this didnt keep me from learning russian. the best thing i would recomend is tring to guess where the stressed o is and most of the time it will be right. like Достопримечательности this is a long word which means sights and as you can see many o's are in this word.
now the thing is none of the o's are stressed here from what i have heard. but a russian would understand if you did stress any o in here.
as for spelling well this is a different story . just try to remember the words and i think you will be fine. if anyone wants to add anything or make any corrections to what i have said please feel free to

большой спасиба for yr reply that confused me more. I thought there should be a solid ground for the use of "o" but now i understand there isn t. so i guess by practising n making a lot of mistakes i ll manage if u did. thank u.
i looked up for eg in dictionary the long word u wrote n found out that all of the "o" s are read as ы. no rules then just memorization. i wont loose my courage.
ещё спасиба.

hey just a tip for you if you want to learn a new vocabulary word try putting it in a phrase instead of just learning one word.
it helps me learn vocabulary so much easier.

here is a russian idiom to mean leave me alone
не писай в мой горшок
it means dont pee in my pot

the ukrainian version of this is funny too
ни єіж мої пічінкі
means dot eat my liver

tks for the tip. best way to record in mind.

i dont even know russian ,comparing it with ukranian is not a good idea.
