Russian handwriting in block letters: Common mistakes and How to fix them all

[@storona3999]

As a native Russian speaker, I just discovered how I spent my whole life writing most letters the wrong way 😂 So, my comrades, don’t stress out!!! Cursive is common, however, no one will consider you rude or shame you for writing in blocks. Strive, and don’t get discouraged 💜

[@0lympy]

haha, the same shit =)

[@siriushelldog6771]

Almost same. My blocks is half cursive, half block.

[@okcomputer07]

is it more common to do writing (such as for school) in cursive or block letters?

[@siriushelldog6771]

@@okcomputer07 In kindergarten, you are taught to write and read at least somehow, so that you can learn your lessons at school,so blocks there. In elementary school, they teach you cursive, so blocks is allowed until you fully learn it. In high school, only cursive is allowed, but blocks is used in subjects related to the Latin alphabet - for example, algebra, geometry, chemistry, physics, and so on. also, cursive is usually faster to write than blocks, but blocks is easier to read (because cursive can be hard to read)

[@storona3999]

@@okcomputer07 in all honesty, I have no idea how it is now. Back in time when I was in school everyone was writing in cursive cuz that was the way we were taught and we were used to it. However, like in any language, when ur own writing script develops no one cares how u write as long as u r writing.

I was copying the typed letters exactly, turns out thats a mistake then. Thank you for letting us know how native speakers would write.

[@ThorIsBoss]

You are the only person that I have seen point this out. Thank you

Учу английский по видео для обучения русскому на английском. Оооо да

[@ScroogeVerse]

Понимаю 🤣

Inasmuch as writing by hand has been reduced to the esoteric in mainstream culture (with the proliferation of electronic keyboards), the craft of writing by hand remains an important tool in language instruction, especially for beginners and intermediate students. I am grateful for your clear instruction on this topic. A follow up if I may: What about the tails of letters hanging below the line? For examples, Y and P in lower case are hanging well below the line in several of the samples in your video. Thank you in advance for your response.

I appreciate this video as the different uses have caused some questions. Especially the letter L

This is pretty helpful as I already speak russian but suck with writing and reading, thank you

[@judd442009]

Denis! Thank you for this video and the pdf. I will never make the mistakes you identified--no gun to my head, thank you. I will not play Russian roulette with you.

[@DenisFedorov]

Отлично!

I really appreciate this video! In the myriad of books I’ve come across that teach Russian or the Cyrillic alphabets, they don’t generally include handwriting or if they include handwriting it is only the cursive form. And it doesn’t usually show a written word or sentence so that the reader can view how to properly connect the letters....an issue that I’ve found with other texts regarding languages with similar different handwriting styles where the “cursive” form of the writing isn’t shown in words. When I was in school learning to read and write in English using the Latin alphabet English uses, I was shown both how to write letters and how they look written as words. That’s how I learned upper case and lower case letter differences. When learning cursive, I was taught the same way whereby words were shown and we practiced writing both just the letters as well as words. To be fair to all the language texts their primary goal was more focused on getting a person to be able to speak the language and read signs, menus, etc. But it did make me wonder how native Russians actually wrote the letters by hand, especially some that you went over in this video. So thank you for this excellent video!!! I appreciate it! I went ahead and subscribed to your channel because I get the feeling you have a lot of other really helpful videos already made and likely have some to come in the future and I want to be able to go through your past videos and not miss your future videos!

Omg I’m so thankful! I only learned cursive at first and here I am a year or so later like “hmm I bet this will be much quicker” lol so now my writing goes with г, д, и з in cursive still. It looks interesting hahaha, and exactly like my Roman alphabet. Now when I take quick notes I lose my spot because they are so similar. Ахх, большое спасибо ☺️

Thank you for your explanation of how to write Russian manuscript (block lettering) properly! I will be watching this a few more times to get it instilled within my brain cell. I think the best way to say "lowercase" (transliterated into Russian) would be «Ло-эр-кайс» with stress on its first syllable.

[@nhmooytis7058]

Very helpful Denis your vids are always worth watching!

[@djk0811]

thank you!!! you are first person to explain this clearly! Hope you do cursive video soon, I struggle

[@DenisFedorov]

Thanks!

[@catboy721]

Hi -- thanks so much for correcting what really must be a very common mistake for new learners. I find it a little ironic, though, because it's so common for native speakers to mix script and block letters when they write.... particularly и, д, л, and п. You also see comics and other materials that combine the two styles.

[@hadibq]

haha spot on! as a beginner and self learner, I'm definitely doing both mistakes 😅

[@Adri79]

Well, I'm native speaker but I learnt today how to write "д", I just did the same mistake as the foreiners do )) Usually you don't need to write in not handwriting style so I just avoided writing like that. The same with block-lettered "ж" it's kind of hard to write

[@br9906]

I just love this language

[@believeinpeace]

You are the best teacher

[@royjackson4946]

Hey man, thanks for the PDF. I'm a complete beginner so it really helps.

[@DenisFedorov]

Glad to help!

[@bardloe5714]

It's my day one learning Russian. Hahaha. I hope that I'll be able to comprehend and write Russian someday😁
