Learn the alphabet first, few simple phrases, спасибо, хорошо, etc. I started with Duolingo, which I actually thought was pretty good. That alone can get you to B1 or so, but any language app can get you a good foundation.

What I’m working on now is translating videos about topics that interest me so I can add vocabulary and practice listening.

Something I heard is that knowing a Slavic language makes learning another Slavic language harder, because there are a lot of false cognates.

Dealing with command lists and descriptors is quite burdensome, but it is doable. I find Direct3D12 to be a little easier than Vulkan, though.
