Actually Yulia, yes you can.
However, you will need to use some "shortcuts"
A clever tutor or teacher or "language partner" will be needed to get you started.
For example, you need to be guided through the Dolch Lists of the most common English words. You need guidance into the study, not just of a single work when you enlarge your vocabulary, but the patter of the word, its most common synonyms and most common antonyms. There are others also.
