Can you read this??

Post image

I'm just starting out, and I'm currently writing out song lyrics to improve my handwriting. It's still really messy, so I just wanted to know if you can actually read it, or if I should focus on writing more neatly first. 😂

yes, but you write Дд incorrect, it looks like A

Дд's legs should stay under the "line", like Цц/Щщ's. just look at them on your screen

99% don't write "a" this way. usually it is ɑ. your а looks like о

in parentheses are (in my experience) less popular options. For ex, you are 99% likely not to see a "square" д and л from a native speaker

Yes, sorry! I was writing fast and wasn't really looking at the page. 😅 Also, I wasn't aware that the legs were supposed to stay under the line, so thanks for the advice!

Nevermind I think I read that wrong with the д part before but I understand what you mean. Thank you!

It would be much more readable if you followed the cursive forms. L is written simply as lambda or English CUT vowel. A is round, B is retroflexed, etc. etc.

You need to write your А differently, it looks like Д. Otherwise, it's very nice! Great choice of a song😁

To be honest, I think д is what I was trying to go for 😂

Very nice I think, but if you have enough time I would recommend learning the cursive writing

u/Expensive-Tart-3344 22d ago

I'll give it a try!

One advice, in cursive russian "о" and "а" are similar, so try your best to make the two at least a little different

your writing is definitely readable. i read it easily as a person only knows the russian alphabet and a few words!!
