I studied Russian for one semester when I was in middle school. I didn't learn very much and can remember even less: only a few simple words like яблоко (yabloko -- "apple").

But I can still sound out words in the Cyrillic alphabet without any difficulty. Learning another alphabetic script really doesn't take that much time or effort.

Same here, but in college. Got the Cyrillic alphabet in a couple weeks but it was by far the easiest part of a very difficult semester.

I switched to French.

I've learnt azbuka purely from our national TV news (in central Europe), during the course of a year, and I was not trying at all - one day I realized I could read the sentence they showed (even though I couldn't understand it).

Cyrillic is easy until you see it written in cursive :)
