I can read this alphabet with some difficulty, but I enough of the words are pronounced the same as they are in English “sex” is one example.

Their alphabet also has letters that look like regular letters to an English speaker but are different sounds in Russian. A great example I use is the word HOMOPHOBE. In English we see the word Ho-mo-fōb, in Russian they read it as No-mor-no-vye. It’s not a word in Russian but that’s how they would read it. That’s part of why Russian is confusing

It would be less confusing if you knew the Greek letters. P is pronounced R and B is pronounced V in Greek.

Never learned Greek, I feared it would make me an Army alphabet guy

I'm interested in learning the language, but mostly the archaic dialects. The script though is easy and the parent of Latin and Cyrillic scripts.
