You should look into PLATO, as I now am (despite having heard of a fractional form of it due to software offered by TI for my first home computer, the TI-99/4A that I received in 1982). Amazing social network tech, not to mention computer learning which was it's core focus, in the '60s and '70s out of the mid-west. I am reading an excellent book on the history, "The Friendly Orange Glow."

I was extremely lucky to have Plato access in high school. The social and collaborative aspects were amazing. The idea that in 1980 I could send a note to a software author in another state and collaborate with them was (at the time) revolutionary to us high school kids.

I don't know any other system that would then allow me to learn to read and write Cyrillic and even if we'd had the right hardware listen to a native speaker.
