Question

I am learning the Russian alphabet and would like to know what is the pronunciation difference between ш  and

Answer

if u r talking about sounds "ш", "щ" and "ч" 
"ш" = "sh", the pronounce is like in the word "sure"
"щ" - similar to the "sh", but softer, f.e. "sheer"
"ч" = "ch", f.e. "cheep"

by the way look at this link - http://www.languagehelpers.com/Russian/TheRussianAlphabet.html
maybe it can help you

Answer

Between ш and щ you mean? If ш sounds like "sh" and it's firm, then щ sounds like " sh' " and it's soft. Ш is always firm and Щ is always soft. That's the difference.
