This is exactly the kind of cursive I was going for (mostly the right pic), but... Your corrections were great, and very welcome. In fact I learned a lot from posting those few phrases, because of the help I got.
I will practice my typing for the forum's sake, but I'll post some cursive too. I will definitely keep on practicing :) 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Perhaps eventually this will prove an untenable solution, but for now I'm using a key mapping that is primarily phonetic (I do this for Hebrew, too, BTW). For example, to type привет, I enter "privet." Some associations aren't quite as phonetic, and others are visual (ш = w, ч = h), but it's already gotten fairly easy for me to type well enough to enter words into anki or write short sentences. If I ever get to where I can compose Russian sentences in my head fast enough to want to type really fast, then it might be better to learn a different key mapping, but that's surely a relatively small problem for the distant future. 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

According to Benny Lewis, there's no such thing of "too soon" and I agree with him :) Keep up the good work! 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

So far I use a small printout of the keyboard layout. It takes me forever :) But I found out that the most letters are around the centre, so I'll try to learn it. I stress the word try...

Great start renaissancemedi, the more you write the better. I also agree that it is never too soon.
When I started writing Russian on my computer it also took me forever. Now I am a bit more used to it, but I still have to look a lot at the printout of the Russian keyboard which I have put on the wall next to the screen. I actually prefer to write Russian (and Greek) on my iPad, because you can switch between keyboards more easily. 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Oh, by the way, there is a site, http://translit.ru/ , that Russians abroad use when they
have no access to Russian keyboard: you just type Latin equivalents, and the programme converts them into Cyrillic. This could be easier than learning the whole new keyboard layout. 2 persons have voted this message useful |
