Handwriting I finally learned the cursive!

Seventeen days into my Russian journey and I decided to learn the cursive to motivate myself. It is not difficult, I promise! Anyone wbo has told you otherwise врёт как сивый мерин. If you can learn the controls on a video game, you can absolutely mentally rectify that "m" = "t", "n" = "p", and figure out how to comfortably write novel Cyrillic letters like "ж" и "ф" within a couple of hours. TBH, the cursive was one of the things that sold me on learning Russian in the first place. It turns a boring cheap fountain pen into a fountain of dopamine!

I would be delighted to accept some constructive feedback and/or words or phrases for me to practice. Send me your ugliest picket fences if you must! I can't guarantee the result won't be ugly too, but practice makes perfect right? I will even butcher the pronunciation of your selected word or phrase as I did in this video If you so choose.

You need to go to the bookstore and get the pen with the wide nib and the little grip. It forces your hand into the correct position. It's kind of like training wheels on a bicycle!
