after some lessons in university i learned greek alphabet. because science using greek letters. for example
pi=3.14
waters rho=998 kilograms per cubic meter
phi=diameter
and more
and i noticed after learning greek letters i can read some of the russian words
after some practicing now i can read all russian words. i searched a bit and guess what russian alphabet actually originates directly from greek alphabet.
But i dont started to learn russian because i dont need any russian yet.
Fun fact alphabets:
russian метафора
greek μεταφορά
latin metafora
i remember you told before: in russian you read exactly what writed.
and from my experience this is true. for example fayl means file in russian. and sounds same as english "file".
