A FUN QUIZ to check how well you read Russian



This quiz should be fun even if you haven't studied cyrillic letters yet.

Let's imagine that you are already in Russia. Most of the Russian cities start to look similar to other big metropolis in other counties thanks to globalization and a big quantity of chain stores familiar all over the world. The only difference is that in Russia their names are written in cyrillic alphabet. ;)
so, this is how it feels to see them in a Russian city and you can use this chance to check how well you read Russian letters. 
Guess the franchise you are looking at and then you can find the correct answers at the end of the post.

1. Let's start with an easy one to warm up.










2. This one you can also guess without being able to read well.












3. This is one of the "classic" ones ;)










4. It starts to get tricky.










5. Still not too difficult.











6. A bit more difficult as you see some really weird letters...



7.









8.









9. You might be surprised how often Russians use "English" words instead of Russian ones.










10. This is harder as it has some cursive letters too.









11. Again, some cursive to keep you awake.













12. This is a very tricky one as it has a completely different name in Russian.













And at the end a very unexpected example just to give you an idea that it is not always with cyrillic letters... and you will see a lot of funny and surprising things in Russia! :)
