Go to the Google Maps app on your phone, find a country where your target language is spoken and look at the placenames - Google maps shows them in Latin letters on top and in native script below.
So you just read (matching the letters in Latin letters with signs in native script) and practice.
Works with every script, from Cyrillic and Greek to Arabic or Indian scripts. Of course you have to know some very basic things about the script you are learning first. Eg, that Arabic is read from right to left or that Indian and Southeast Asian scripts use syllables, not letters for individual sounds.
Works even for Chinese and Japanese though obviously they use a lot more signs.
And you'll learn some geography too.
