I've been slacking a lot on latin/ukrainian lol. Though i can read cyrillic way better than i did before, and can write it at an okay-ish speed. I find ukrainian grammar to be pretty hard, but hopefully i get the basics down.

As for latin i've sadly been too busy to read LLPSI, but hopefully this week i can cram some time for it.

Holy shit man, you've got quite a collection of writing systems you can use by now! I can count atleast three :)

Also hebrew lmao (kind of learning the greek alphabet, but only that. I'm not interested in the language. So 5, actually xd)

And here I am, once tried to practice how to write my name in Arabic letters to carve it into my carefully-whittled piece of wood only to realize afterwards I was missing a letter.. damn lol!

Here's "lazycog" in what should be the closest way to pronounce lol. It's written "Layzi Cogh (no guh sound in arabic, only ghaa')"

I don't know your real name so i can't do that lol, but here you go

hey that's cool, thanks man!! And yeah the difference in what kind of sounds are available are the real problem with this (my real name was not a problem, but I just forgot while carving..). But this still sounds accurate ;)
