I agreed with Max.Reading it's a good practice, but don't forget about alphabet,we have Cyrillic letter.And if you write for example: meditation- медитация (meditaciya),you will see it's a same word,only different ending.Remember, most words with ending -TION (eng) have always ending -ЦИЯ(-CIYA) (rus).Try and you will see it's easy. And doesn't matter what is a language ( mean European),a lot of words came from Latin(Roman). That a small HACK,how to learn language.I use that and I hope that will help you.Good luck!
