There are eight letters in Russian that look like their English counterparts (or even digits) but have different pronunciation.
Вв - sounds like "v" in voice.
Зз - sounds like "z" in zeal.
Нн - sounds like "n" in noon. The tip of the tongue touches the lower teeth.
Рр - sounds like "r" in rest but rolled.
Сс - sounds like "s" in sun. The tip of the tongue touches the lower teeth.
Уу - sounds like "oo" in noodles. This sound is pronounced shorter than in English, with lips more rounded and protruded.
Чч - sounds like "ch" in church.
Хх - sounds like "ch" in loch when pronounced in Scottish manner. It remotely reminds "h" in have.

вот, вор, вал, за, зал, зол, на, нос, нас, рак, грипп, грач, сон, сок, суп, ус, лук, жук, чан, чин, чек, хам, холл, храм
