This reminds me that as a child I taught myself Tolkien's runes from The Hobbit, which is mostly another substitution of the modern English alphabet:

I got to the point I could read and write without a reference. Not as fast as English but not slow either.

Many years later I found a notebook with many pages of things I'd written but had since lost the ability to read again.
