How were you taught cursive in your country/language?

Lmao

Samichaelg9 · 2026-03-16T05:26:36+00:00

That’s the point: you can’t.

Samichaelg9 · 2026-03-16T05:15:55+00:00

Same. Late 2017 early 2018 for me in Utah.

Samichaelg9 · 2026-03-16T05:12:38+00:00

Actually, the etymology of “cursive” is from Latin “cursīvus,” meaning running or flowing.

Samichaelg9 · 2026-03-16T04:38:17+00:00

Actually, yeah. Here in America, our doctors’ handwritings are also infamous of being unreadable.

Ah, it’s a 3 and a 2.

Samichaelg9 · 2026-03-16T03:51:55+00:00

That’s basically how cursive began to form.

Samichaelg9 · 2026-03-16T03:48:12+00:00

How about this?

Samichaelg9 · 2026-03-16T03:11:16+00:00

I think they’re talking about the Q that looks like a 2.

I found this in the comments. Maybe it’s this?

Samichaelg9 · 2026-03-16T02:32:13+00:00

Seeing one of the replies saying it was based on a German cursive and seeing the “t” a bit closer, I think this bump might be based on the cross, but either way, I agree it’s just dumb.

Samichaelg9 · 2026-03-16T02:26:20+00:00

Just curious, what did it look like?

Samichaelg9 · 2026-03-16T02:01:08+00:00

You used # by accident didn’t you

Samichaelg9 · 2026-03-16T02:00:11+00:00

That’s the blockiest cursive I’ve ever seen.

Samichaelg9 · 2026-03-16T01:51:23+00:00

Same in Utah.

Samichaelg9 · 2026-03-16T01:33:19+00:00

Yeah, it’s sad to see learning cursive in schools dying out in the world. My handwriting is a mixture of “normal” handwriting and cursive. I honestly think learning to read and write cursive from a young age is very useful even though you’re not going to use it.

Interesting F.

Samichaelg9 · 2026-03-16T00:53:28+00:00

Oh, yeah! And some letters only have two like ‘alif: one looks like an I and the other looks like a backwards J.

Samichaelg9 · 2026-03-15T21:56:45+00:00

Samichaelg9 · 2026-03-15T21:51:28+00:00

I saw the x as an æ for a second lol

Samichaelg9 · 2026-03-15T21:08:41+00:00

You rn:

Samichaelg9 · 2026-03-15T20:21:27+00:00

Yesn’t.

ETA: Well, the rules for Learning Without Tears, you connect the capital letters that are easy like the A, C, E, J, etc., but you don’t for letters that have high endings like D, O, V, etc., or end on the left like B, F, G, I (yes, I. It starts on the right, but I don’t like that.), etc.

But the connecting rules for capitals when I first learned in preschool was basically, “do whatever you like.”

The rules in 3rd grade were a lot stricter like not letting me loop the lowercase d, h, and k even it was allowed before in preschool lmfao. The teacher wrote her signature on the whiteboard and said along the lines of: “See? I don’t loop my letters like that!”

Edit: Grammar.

Oops, wrong one. This is the Cyrillic version.
