Karelian

Hello! I've recently started learning Karelian language just for fun. Any other Karelian speakers here? I have small problems with pronounciation. How is "čč" supposed to be different from "č"? Because it would be pronounced "tsh" or "tš", and it's kinda difficult to double that. Is it something influenced by Russian alphabet, or what?
