It's surprising how just knowing how to read cyrylic is enough for me to understand what's written, slavic languages are funky

'we hebben een serieus probleem' moment, or 'Twee Teletubbies hebben prostaatkanker' moment

most languages share a lot of political lingo, try learning as many scripts as you can and you'll notice it, when you learn a script not only can you read common words, but you can easily write it into a translator.

Yes and political words are often long and full of all the letters of the alphabet, so if you can find a couple cognates and those cognates are each like 10 letters long you have over half the alphabet right there. Learning scripts is fun!
