the russian alphabet is shown in two different languages

Although it may seem a bit daunting in the beginning, the Russian alphabet is not the hardest alphabet in existence (I’m looking at you, Japanese). Consisting of 33 letters - just 7 more than the Latin alphabet - it uses the Cyrillic script to write the Russian language. And you know what’s the best thing about it? Almost all the words in Russian can be pronounced the same way they are written. To put it simply, once you master the Russian alphabet, you’ll know how to pronounce the majority…

I have my very own theory about the origin of Russian handwriting and its transformation into the monstrosity we have witnessed in the picture above.

In the ’70s, in the schools of the Soviet Union, the children were taught чистописание (clean writing) and teachers used to evaluate and correct the children’s почерк (calligraphy) on a daily basis.

The letters of the Russian cursive alphabet had to be clear, clean and uniform, perfectly connected to one another and with the same sloping degree.

Even though I’ve been living in Moscow for almost 9 years now, I must admit that every time I need to read Russian handwriting (that is Russian cursive alphabet) I broke into a sweat. Oddly enough, when it comes to writing Russian cursive, I feel very confident and have no problems at all. So where do these difficulties in reading Cyrillic cursive come from? Why is Russian cursive so scary and what should you do to improve your Russian handwriting skills? Let’s figure this out!

russian cursive is the most mind blowing thing i've seen

Unlike Latin handwriting, which can range from fully cursive to heavily resembling the printed typefaces, and where idiosyncratic mixed systems are most common, it is standard practice to write Russian in Russian cursive almost exclusively.
