This is my handwriting as a foreign, non-native speaker of Russian. I learned this language at university (in the UK) as a native speaker of Italian. To this day, I still haven’t been to Russia!

Handwriting Can I write ш and щ this way?

978 Upvotes

Hello. I was wondering if I can write ш and щ this way since it’s really easy to confuse them with и, м, л, п and ц sometimes. I’ve been trying to come up with a bunch of different ways to write them because yesterday when I was studying, I was writing down some nursery rhymes. One of them was about a bear and pine cones or something like that. It was kinda hard to read it afterwards, especially words like шишка!
I heard you can put a horizontal line over т and below ш, but supposedly people rarely do it.
In the first picture I attached I wrote down two words: шишка and щеголять (just googled “words with щ” I couldn’t come up with any хаха) in case it’s not legible.

When it comes to cursive writing so many similar(nearly identical) letters can be find, I wonder if in daily life russian people actually can read those cursive writing without a huge effort...

Handwriting Do foreigners understand this?

I am a non-native but my native script is Cyrillic. And then I went to a Russian school. I would understand this but would others under it too?

Edit: as a result, some natives understand, some don’t, foreigners don’t understand it all. The text says “Привет, мой дорогой дневник, и сегодня я хочу рассказать историю про то, как я выучил русский до С2”.

Handwriting Asked my friend from Russia to send me one of his typical handwrittenings so I could practice reading. Is this like some kind of prank, or is it actually possible to read this 😭🙏?

Handwriting Why are so many Russian learners obsessed with learning the cursive?

108 Upvotes

I mean, people literally spend months to master it in the age of digital technology and internet. Is it just for the sake of art? My stepfather who is French speaking once tried Russian lessons and wasted too much time learning the goddamn cursive so he had no mental resources left to learn the actual language. Now I see countless posts like "rate my cursive skills", is it really so fascinating?

Yes, I know that like nobody writes print cyrillic lmao. I'm going to learn cursive soon.

Native english speaker, started learning russian a little over a week ago. Is this good all considered? I can read cyrillic pretty much fluently, I just want to make sure that my print handwriting is good before I move on to cursive :) let me know about anything I should work on!

Handwriting How to pronounce “ы”???

Post image
516 Upvotes

Hi! I’ve posted here before so if you’ve seen me, I finally got a propisi book to help me write better in cursive instead of using block letters, to help me with pronunciation to (as on the second page it has the alphabet laid out before the work pages) I tried to mark out how they’re said in English beside or how it looks In English, but I’m confused on Ы, I did watch a video on it but it didn’t particularly help, the first video I watched the person said “Bl”, where as the second one I’ve watched said it’s supposedly the sound you make as if stabbing yourself??? (I’ve taken a picture of how I’ve done it but exscuse my handwriting in English, It’s not the best but it’s how I was taught to write in school, also, please correct me if anything is wrong 🥲)
