I have a question that has been worrying me for ages, really. I've just thought it's
about time I sorted all things out:) It's about л letter (minor)and it's connection with others.Here's the link to the photo where you'll see the same word written in two ways and I am not sure which is correct. (I mean the way л is connected with a). Would anyone take a look? http://i890.photobucket.com/albums/ac101/barbe_transformeris /SAM_1392.jpg I always write in the first way but this somehow feels weird. However, connecting letters in the second way makes л 'dissapear'. And by the way, do people in Russia write б letter as I do? Because it's anything like that in the examples I have seen however I hate writing it like they say:) 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I have the same comments with respect to education in Canada as well, at least through the seventies - we were taught first how to print, and then how to write in cursive, and finally in around grade 8, 9 or 10 thanks be to sweet jebus we were allowed to return to printing. I could not hardly write in cursive now if you paid me, unless you were fixin' on paying me a lot. Oddly, I can still write my name in the snow reasonably legibly after few beer, but trust me, that ain't with the assistance of either a pen or pencil. 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

The way you write (first way) is the correct way. You can't skip stuff! If you do, you'll most likely be not understood or worse misunderstood: ал written the second way easily becomes any of the following depending on my mood аю, ол, ои, аi, etc (the first one in particular makes for бываю, which is another word that changes the meaning). It's probably weird to you because you are thinking of cursive English L, which clashes with the Russian one which introduces the extra loop that you're trying to skip. Your б is written perfectly. Try not to skip the loop in в, yours looks like an English b. The way you wrote it, the loop is very small or non existent (which can happen in a hurry), most cases you'll probably be understood, but it takes an extra millisecond of processing time to figure out why. It reality, the ending loop of ы (or most previous letters) will usually flow into the beginning of the top loop of в. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Thank you very much for such informative analysis:) it's very helpful as I learn on my
own (I bought some childish notebooks for handwriting training and practiced writing in these huge lines, feels like being 5 again), maybe someday I should write some longer piece and link it here to make sure everything's OK with the way I write... 1 person has voted this message useful |
