I could do the speaking but the letters are crazy. I was trying to learn it in college to impress this Russian chick. All I got was kak dela privjet.
I think it's crazy so many other countries learn English, I mean lucky us who are ignorant here in the states and don't even speak a second language.
Hm but a set of letters takes how long to learn? A weekend?
You're saying the Russian cyrllic letters takes a weekend to learn? Maybe, that would be impressive, not for me. I think it would take me longer.
I know the Greek alphabet but only because I learned it in a frat from a YT song.
I started learning them for fun and didn't find it to be very difficult. I agree that a weekend might be a bit fast, I'd probably say a week to a month is enough time.
To practice I like going on r/EnglishCyrillic and trying to read some of the posts
I envy those who doesn't need a second keyboard layout on their computers haha
ditto. I believe it is impossible to be proficient and eloquent in more than one language at a time.
