Russian

I had Russian class today.

Recently, Russian letters look less like the English alphabets than before.

This means that I am adapting to the Cyrillic alphabet. 

They were totally meaningless to me when I started learning, so I'm actually surprised.

I will write down some phrases. 

"карандаш" means pencil, and pronounced like "karandash".

Also, you may have heard of "Здравствуйте". It sounds like "zdrastvitse" and this is a formal greeting which can be use at any time.
