A friend of mine from the former USSR told me that they learned in school to write cursive before learning to print. I wonder if that is still the case. Anyway, as a user of cursive writing myself, I found that really interesting. That way, kids don't revert to printing after learning cursive as many do here nowadays.
Anyway, good luck with your languages this year, renaissancemedi. Your Russian handwriting looks really nice. I use Greek stickers on my keyboard and it has made typing much easier. I think I found them cheap on eBay in case you are looking for Cyrillic. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Actually, children in the former USSR (I started first grade there, in 1990:) did not learn to print at all. So, we learned the print versions of letters only for reading, and for writing we only used cursive. So, you wouldn't see people printing in Russian. As far as I know, some schools start teaching typing quite early now, and the new Russian standards state that kids should know how to type by the end of the fourth grade. But they still do learn the cursive, too 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Same in Greece. You don't learn print. You just learn handwriting, but not how to join. Children are taught the correct shape of the letters, and you are encouraged to write clearly. The style develops as you grow up. There are people with horrible handwriting, doctors notoriously! Easy to read beats beauty in teachers' advice.

Yesterday I was supposed to study Turkish, basically for the first time for 2014. But I didn't. So I'll do it today, and I am writing this in order for me not to find any excuse!
Of course, I don't need motivation to read turkish. I like the TY book a lot. Is there any turkish series I might find easy to watch? Not Macgnificent century, please. I spotted Kuzey Güney on youtube, and it looks ok. Is it worth it? Most importantly, is the language something I could learn from, or are they speaking slang etc? Any suggestions will be welcome!

I remember coming across this article some time ago and found it very interesting. Perhaps you can find something here to watch?
