Phonemes are the individual sounds of a language, which the learner has mastered in sounding out words written in Cyrillic. However, the learner still needs to work on understanding the meaning of words and their grammatical structure, which involves morphemes. Syntax refers to the rules for arranging words into meaningful sentences, which is also important but not the focus of the learner's current situation.
