I took one class in college and didn’t end up really liking Russian - didn’t know it was a gendered language beforehand and I really dislike that, mostly because I’m lazy. Before taking the class, Russian cursive seemed absolutely illegible, but I got pretty good at reading and writing it afterwards.
However, I always thought it was weird we were only allowed to write in cursive in the class, where in English or other languages it’s more of stylistic option. Our teacher told us everyone wrote like that and it was considered childish to write block letters instead, but she also told us everyone should read Gulag Archipelgo and that Solzhenitsyn was a great author. Was she right about the writing in cursive part though?
(Don’t think this is appropriate for language learning since I’m not really asking for the sake of learning the language, so I posted in chat instead)
I mean in Poland I was never taught to write in block letters. Cursive was the way we were taught, it was just writing.
When I was learning about American literacy for the first time and first discovered the “block/cursive” division was like “wtf why” and “lmao backward americans”.
It might be similar to how it is in Russia idk ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
i’ve seen a few russians write and i’ve never seen anything but cursive. hell, i never saw anyone use block letters until i went to the US.
this whole thing smells of anglo brain to me.
Print is only for when you want someone else to be able to read your writing!
Sorry but this is a skill issue, for some fucking reason people tend to compliment my handwriting when I share notes. So sorry, not my fault lol
Yeah and they probably tell you your shit smells like sandalwood too.
I haven’t bothered with cursive in the last 15 years. I’m not able to write fast anyway so I might as well read it fast.
you bet they do B)
Anyway skill issue B)
Maybe one day I will be on your level of
