I know the alphabet in sign language, so if i was stuck in a mine shaft with a deaf person that didn't read lips, I could spell stuff out for them.

Cyrillic is fun
I need to progress past the having to read words by working out each letter at a time though cos it takes forever to read anything

My problem with cyrillic is that it has a lot of characters borrowed from greek that... don't... make... the same... sound!!! It confuses me big time.

Also, I'm learning Japanese, albeit very slowly, as I have few resources.
