The first experience I had with the Cyrillic alphabet was when my daughters took Russian in elementary school.  One of them, especially found it a struggle, the other found it rather easy.  The one who found it difficult called it the "acrylic" alphabet, we found that so funny! I learned a little of it, it was helpful when trying to decipher Bulgarian websites before Google Translate!
I haven't dreamt about the "acrylic" alphabet...yet, although I'm thinking of posting something on my blog about it sometime in the future.
