Books for passing time

Gentlemen,

I am going abroad for two months and a couple weeks and was wondering if that time would suffice to learn how to read/write a language (not speak)? I am going to Brazil and can already read/write/speak portuguese, however I would like to learn how to read/write in a new language while I am there as I will have a lot of free time from 0700-1500 weekdays.

Now I would like to express that my interest was lying in either Cyrillic or Sanskrit, but I am not sure if the time would suffice. I am not fond of learning Kanji/Pinyin to be quite honest. As you can see my interests lie in something less romanic.

Albeit if these alphabets are too complicated or require more time to learn than 2 months, maybe sticking to a roman language would be better, Spanish/Italian/French etc.?

Thank you for your attention and I await your feedback. Thank you.

Actually I come from Germany, so I already speak it fluently. Thanks for the tip anyway.

I was thinking about Spanish as I know Portuguese and many things are similar in appearance. Concerning Cyrillic, would I be able to read and write within a two month period? Or just write basic sentences due to it's grammatical difficulty?

I was also considering perhaps Arabic, or would that be too difficult as well for that timeframe?
