Scales and Tales

I've been doing Duolingo Russian on the flakey setting, where you turn off your sound and tell it you can't say anything right now, and do everything at level one, where you just put sentence words in order. The alphabet sections worked OK for me because I already know some Greek, and most of the letters match up. But I also looked up Cyrillic on Wikipedia when I needed to, and I think you should allow yourself to do the same!

(Even in this desultory mode, I have learned enough that I can usually guess whether ecreet is posting about math, cats, or both, which feels like an accomplishment.)
