Do most people write Russian in cursive? Is there a good guide on Russian handwriting?

Generally ALL people in Russia write in cursive. We're taught to do that starting from the first grade. We have special penmanship notebooks called propisi (прописи).
They're pretty standard. Here's a site where you can download them. Scroll down a bit till you see a bunch of download links. The ones you should be looking at are the following: Образцы написания букв (алфавит): pro-alphabet.pdf (22K) (Samples of cursive letters) Содержание и указатель: pro-index.pdf (30K) (Index) Прописи (73 страницы): pro.pdf (1830K) (Propisi) You can probably skip the little hooks and sticks in the very beginning and go right down to the good stuff.

Thank you for the site link. I learned how to write Russian in school. I took it in high school, but it's been nearly 20 years. I needed a review of how to connect the letters to each other, especially the hard and soft signs.

The site claims that this is the shortest phrase in the Russian language that uses every single one of the 33 letters of the alphabet.
These propisi (rar file) have phrases in gray that you can overwrite and thus train yourself. Edited by espejismo on 20 July 2011 at 9:56pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

It's not, that phrase has more than 33 letters and thus isn't shortest. The following imho are better examples of shortest phrases that use every single letter of the alphabet only once (punctuation aside, they're 33 letters long): Эй, жлоб! Где туз? Прячь юных съёмщиц в шкаф. Экс-граф? Плюш изъят. Бьём чуждый цен хвощ! You can find more information on that on Russian wikipedia or here on English wikipedia or google pangram. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I am dabbling in Russian (I've mostly just learned the Cyrillic letters) and I am just
curious about how to write the small letters for "T" and "sha" (sorry, I have NO idea how to type cyrillic)--the Russian language book I have puts little lines above the former and below the latter but I see that that website you posted does not. Does this matter at all? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

That's the old way. I wasn't taught that in 1996. My grandmother does that, though.
