    1. Yeah and the deal with Russian is cursive is VERY IMPORTANT, most written communication is done in cursive

      Ш Щ Ц И Л can all look incredibly similar in Russian cursive.

      My Russian coworker was just telling me how Russians are so proud of their cursive writing. Maybe she was messing with me….

    3. Omg, my fiance’s grandma wrote a card to us in Russian cursive. He left Ukraine at age 6 I started learning 1 year ago… we had to send a photo to his mom to figure out wtf it said. It was all just diagonal lines.

    4. I’m learning Hebrew, and I was here thinking transitioning from learning print to written (cursive) form would be difficult. Holy shit

    5. When I first learned Russian, I started with the printed Cyrillic alphabet, and had very little problem with it. Then I had to learn the cursive form, which I still have trouble with, for obvious reasons, as you can see above. It reminds me of my ‘pretend’ handwriting when I was a little kid (just a bunch of up-and-down loops and swirls) and only knew how to print.

      One of the problems is that so many of the cursive Russian letters look just like English cursive letters, but not the same letters. For example, an English lower case m is actually a lower case t in Russian; and an English lower case u is a lower case i in Russian.

      I’m Russian and I can’t understand 95% of what it says here, it seems like this is a note from a visit to a pulmonologist, and the patient was complaining about coughing for two months and having a stuffy nose (The first two lines may say Пульмонолог – Жалобы на кашель в течение 2х месяцев. Залож. носа). But I’m really not sure.

      UPD: the last but one line says “бак. посев из носа и зева на флору” – swab samples from the nose and the mouth, so the patient has to take a test to see if there’s any bacteria causing his issues.

    7. Have no idea what this says

      I can’t read my own cursive. I only can while I know what I was writing about. And I can’t read my writing fast, I need to look closely and decipher

      I remember some task that teacher gave me an A for. I look at it and can’t understand shit. I suspect she has also not read it, lol

      Why People havent gone blind from watching Illuminated screens wont save a despreate erotic mess. The Mess is hells tapestry. If you want love you must reach out and take it.

    9. I’m Russian and I can’t understand most of it. Reminds me of how doctors/older generations write cursive

    10. I know both Ukrainian abd russian and it’s neither of those

      I don’t know any application of “су” as an independent word, so it might be any other slavic language
