It used to be that when I saw Russian words like this– компьютер, студент, пасспорт — my eyes skipped over them like yours probably just did. But the Cyrillic alphabet, which is used in Slavic languages like Russian as well as non-Slavic languages like Kazakh and Mongolian, is easy to learn. Given the number of English cognates in Russian (the language we’ll focus on here), learning the Cyrillic alphabet allows you to read and understand dozens of words in Russian, including the three above…

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!
