@PeanutsauntieP1982 Thank you! Gracias. ? Danke. Mahalo. Merci. спасибо. ?

I didn't know the Zhongwen and Arabic "Thank you"s. I knew the verbal Russian, but had to look up the cyrillic.

I wish I could read Cyrillic. Its such a neat looking alphabet, though I do know the first 11 sounds in the Russian alphabet. Surprisingly, when I put my mind to it, learninf the Zhongwen characters hasn't been too hard, but it'd help to practice more.

@PeanutsauntieP1982 I haven't even begun to learn Zhongwen, yet. It seems daunting, at this point. Haven't started to learn the cyrllic alphabet, either. Or Arabic, etc.

Learning the Hawai'ian alphabet was a breeze, since it has only 13 characters, including the '. :-)

For some reason, learning the Zhongwen characters, maybe because they don't look in any way like the Latin Alphabet, has been relatively easy, easier than I thought it'd be. But Cyrillic...it has too many letters that look like Latin letters, or Greek ones, that confuse me.

@PeanutsauntieP1982 Hmmm... 🤔 ...I never thought about it from that angle. Wonder which will be easier for me to learn...
