    Cyrillic can be handy since there are many loan words from English / French / Greek / Latin so you can at least get a vague sense of what a document is about.

        I learned cyrillic from a single page infographic on leddit many years ago, and learned what the words actually meant by trying to navigate Russian torrent sites as well. Don't ask me how to carry a conversation in Russian but I will instinctively click the "скачать" button.
