I really want to learn Russian but I’m not really sure how to start. Should I start by learning to read Cyrillic alphabet? or something else?

(Bonus points if you have some free resources since I’m a broke student lol)

    With Duolingo I did improve my understanding of Spanish and Italian a little bit but of course YMMV. Many years ago (in the pre Internet era ?) I tried to learn some Russian but learning Cyrillic made me get stuck. If you are into chess, there are several chess players streaming in Russian on Lichess, for example GM Sergei Zhigalko that could teach you some Daaaaaaaa! - Maybe @k_o_t@lemmy.ml has the best tips for you though! :)
