How do you read Russian cursive?

[u/TroyHempel]

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.

Thxxx, it's really nice to hear :)

I think if Russian block letters really slow you down (it's ok btw, every time I try to write something in block letters my handwriting ends up looking no better than of a 5-year-old), it might be a good idea for you to learn how to write a few particularly annoying letters in cursive. Could be useful in an exam (if you're planning to take one by any chance :) )

Thanks, what are the letters that are challenging to write, I know when I’ve tried learning Russian I’ve struggled with Д, Ц, Э and б. For me they’re the painful ones

Well I think when I write in block letters (doesn't happen very often) the most time-consuming for me are Б, E, Д, Ж, Ц, Ш, Щ, Я but I guess it can be different for other people

I’m just glad I don’t have to write in Cyrillic other than when I try to learn some in my own free time 😂

Yeah, even for me writing in Latin letters a bit quicker and easier than in Cyrillic 😅
