Cyrillic

Yesterday evening, with very little to do, I decided to finally learn Cyrillic properly. Stuart (who for some reason can read Cyrillic and Katakana without having learned the languages) wrote a sheet with the alphabet for me, and when we came across anything in Cyrillic, forced me to read it. This was very helpful, and yesterday I made a concerted effort to perfect my reading by making cue cards. I can now say that apart from a few things (namely some of the vowels and the weird bs), I can mostly read Cyrillic very slowly. This will undoubtedly be indispensible when I get to Belarus.
