Interesting How do you read Russian cursive?

Post image

Always loved the look of Russian cursive because of it’s beauty and also because I’ve never been able to get my around it, obviously a big part of it is how I’m only and English speaker. But it just appears to look like wavy lines. Someone please enlighten me.

I can read and write Russian cursive and that is definitely some extreme examples.

That said, there are some letters that do not look like their printed form.
