I'd say i'm completely fluent in Russian Cyrillic... i use the alphabet on a daily basis and use it extensively in my artwork. One of my favorite things to do is to convert a Roman alphabet font into a Cyrillic font. I've done this about 4 or 5 times and there are mixed results... but in order to create a font it requires extensive knowledge of an alphabet's ligatures, descenders, ascendants, a-centers and x-heights. Which is why i chose "i can read it like a pro." When it comes to pronunciation and reading comprehension, I'd say I'm intermediate ... cause there's just no way i'd be foolish to say i'm fluent at reading or pronunciation ... but i'm pretty damn good. (it has been nearly 10 years of studying after all)
