I can understand the grammar but its the vocab that gets me since they use a lot of long words, although over time I'm sure I'll pick this up.
Also recently I have noticed that I am beginning to subconsciously read Cyrillic to myself. Like there will be something on T.V. and I read it and then go wait a minute, that was Cyrillic. Also if there is a Cyrillic acronym I'll do the same thing and then not be able to remember if it was in English or Cyrillic.
