As someone who already knows English cursive, is actually kind of weird writing cursive in another language. It feels familiar, but also different enough to feel awkward.

I know this is an older video and others have left helpful comments, but in case anyone sees mine, I'd like to say I'm now learning Cyrillic after studying Latin script of course and also Arabic/Persian scripts, and one thing I've learned is that when it comes to handwriting, there are simply many ways of writing each letter. Each person will write each letter somewhat differently, but the important thing is to know the general template of each letter, and be able to distinguish each one from the others. Especially when the letters are similar, even between languages or scripts. In the case of Cyrillic, half of the challenge is simply remembering the differences in phonetics between Cyrillic and Latin, but within Cyrillic, some letters are very similar and could be written in different ways. It's important to practice and write what feels most natural for each letter, and try to create the appropriate variation between each. I recommend using a proper writing tool, like fountain pens, to practice and to enjoy the process of calligraphy. Then when it comes to writing for communication or further studying, you will feel much more confident, especially if your journey includes multiple languages.

This video felt like watching Bob Ross painting. So relaxing and looks easy to do. Then when you have your own canvas it ends up in a mess. Thank you Daria as always a great video you make Russian fun to learn.

I just finished my online Russian Language lesson today, I am into it going on 130 days, my pronunciation is well an epic fail, on the other hand, I surprised myself with being able to translate Russian into English without looking it up first. And picking the correct words that I hear. Not perfect I make mistakes, but I am 100% better at it than I was when I started. I might be up to the first grade come 2021 in speaking and writing skill. after all at 65, I am still young. Sometimes I am still an 8-year-old boy! I have been making a habit of watching one Russian Movie and to listen to some music every day. It's really a beautiful language.

Your teaching methods and voice tone are so non stressful you bring the joy back into learning . Thanks .

I write in cursive, but in my native language teachers always told me "I don't want you to write like that 'cause I can't understand" or "I won't accept any more jobs with that letter" (never changed my writing, though), so when I found out Russian is written in cursive it filled me with joy. 💛

The trickiest part of writing in cursive is connecting letters, without knowing how to connect them the right way, writing can turn into a total mess. Some letters have little tails to be connected with following letters, but others don't, so we should add those tails, without the proper connection "ам" can look like "аи". for instance.

I’m laying in bed watching this at 3am for absolutely no reason and I don’t know why

The perfect teacher, I can never get bored watching and learning by you!

I am Hungarian and learned Russian in my childhood. My Russian handwriting is much more beautiful than my original Hungarian. Nothing weird in any of the languages. What is shocking to me, is that now I am living in an English-speaking country, where people are not able to read handwriting, and I have to write in print style. Crazy.

I love your rhythm when writing the three-stroke letters, it's like a waltz. As I understand it, dance is a large part of Russian culture. Thank you, Dashka!

This is fun and helpful. Makes me feel like a kid again. Thank you miss.

Real Russian Club rarely do i ever see teachers in any field use imagination so well to assist in the lesson. 11/10 you are the best Prussian teacher ever, JUST BEING HONEST!

1:34 it's close to the japanese お (an o sound)

Wow that helped me a lot, I'm actually russian but never learnd to write since I live in another country tank you so much!! спасибо!😊

I like the way you explain Russian, really enjoying your classes. :)

Что это делает в рекомендациях? Хотя ладно, контент лучше чем обычный контент ютуба. Познавательное видео!

Спасибо большое Даша!

I´ve finally started to write in Russian (as opposed to simply dictating into my phone). This was very helpful, thanks.

This is more interesting...If written in cursive some are written the same as how we write in english...nice teacher

Единственный урок русского, где 60% комментариев не на русском)

I just came to see how to write the "ф" and loved the part: "nobody can't judge me because I'm Russian" hahaha, I was planning to write it that way: little circle with the line across it.

Д is also my favorite and is also the first letter of my name Darren or Даррен. I think that's right. And also, the cursive for Д in russian, looks almost exactly like the cursive for D in english, which is my favorite. Thank you for the awesome video and keep teaching russian. God bless

A lot of people get a lot of unnecessary praise for average work but your teaching is really fantastic.

My brain boiled.Too much similarities with cursive latin letters. This lesson will be waiting. It is to early for me. But again,THANK YOU for your hard work.

На родном (английском) языке мне в школе было очень трудно писать хорошо. Учителя постоянно критиковали мой почерк (и к сожалению ничего предлагали, чтобы помочь - только критиковали). В русском (55-60 лет после того) у меня те же самые трудности. А это видео мне очень помогает, особенно от того, что вы объясняете, что можно или так, или так и не строго настаиваете, что можно только этим или тем образом (как у одного моего учителя русского).

Спасибо большое за твою работу, Даря. Твое видео важное и интересное. Русские буквы очень прекрасные. И ты пишешь хорошо. С новым годом!

Eres una excelente profesora, Daria, y muy pedagógica. Muchas gracias!!!!!!

Amazing video! I spent my hours today on this video (listening over and over). Now I can pronounce all the letters and can write well

Спасибо!!! I've been studying Russian for about two months now, I know its a bit early for me to learn how to write it, but I think it'll be a helpful thing to learn. Your writing is so pretty and I love watching your videos! (edit: fixed a typo)

This video was really helpful. Thank you so much Dr. Malchonova.

Just discovered your channel - I love how calmly and clearly you explain things. Спасибо!

Thank you very much. This is really very helpful!!

So helpful and beautifully presented, also charming. Best presentation of cursive writing I have found.

Very helpful. Thank you Daria!

This is seriously my first day of learning Russian cursive handwriting. As hobbyist, I am already familiar with calligraphy and English cursive handwriting, but some Russian letters are somewhat challenging. I must practise them.

It gets easier the more I practice. I'm practicing my signature in Russian now. It needs work. Джероми is hard to write in cursive. :D большое спасибо за урок!

I’m starting Russian cursive now after two years of studying Russian. I followed the instructions and will practice it

There's plenty of video on how to write russian letters, but not on how to actually right russian words and thus connect letters to each other . Helpfull video

Your special teacher in my life

The best video on this subject matter I've ever seen!

After 20 videos, finally i find a Diane/Diana like here who states after half an hour "Nobody can judge me because i am a Russian" and this made fall in love with your open way of teaching. i even followed some lessons calligraphy in Bulgarian (in Sofia) with a Bulgarian friend as a Belgian guy who now is learning Russian and history about all slavic languages as well. i was very confused because we had very strict Latin 'prescriptions' and your D is indeed Deautiful like Biana! (haha) So now i can invent my own calligraphy in Russian and later on will publish this for free on Facebook to use or to invent your own script. i admit: Cyrillic is much more beautiful to write poems in than Dutch, but Flemish poems can be wonderful too. i live Bulgaria and now i love Russia too!!!! ❤️❤️💯💯💯 And you too! (it is platonic and i am 58 so do not worry and just consider it as a real compliment, but as a Russian woman... you know for sure, i have a wonderful Russian girl friend born in Krasnodar that moved 30 years ago for her child to Bulgaria as well in 'LOVEch', with beautiful written T's in her name (Tatjana). Thx. You made me long for 2025 (and 2024 under the road too). Jean Marc Van Belle ili Жан Марк Ван Белл +йе

For someone of good english cursive it is hard to write another languages

Congrats for perfect English! I fell in love with russian language. Greetings from Brazil!

Really really helpful. Now I finally know how they are written!!!!

You are such an amazing teacher. Many thanks for this video.

Thank you Daria for every thing.

You have a video for literally everything I love this channel

Thanks for the tip about the squares, I was just trying to decide what I wanted to buy for notebooks.

Good job! Really easy to follow lesson. You are definitely in the right career.

Thank you so much for doing this!❤

Good.Spasibo atas pembelajarannya.I like Rusia.

Daria is an awesome teacher.

This was awesome!! Thanks!!

Excellent video! Thanks for making it

Большой вам спасибо за урок 😊

I like so much your teaching way and your patience with us. May God aid you :) My Regards: "Мой учитель" :)

Your caligrafy is very pretty Thank you so much for the lesson 😉🤗😚😚😚 I'll send you my exercises, wiiiii🙄

Thanks very much for teaching us. Good teacher 👩‍🏫

Very helpful, спасибо большое

Thank you for the video! This is very helpful!!! ♡

This is what I’ve waited for!😍 Recently I started practicing Russian cursive. For me it’s difficult to connect a letter to another... but I’ll keep working on it! Thank you so much for your excellent video as always😊

Some of them are slightly the same with English like д,ц,у. I had a problem with ж it’s almost M. Also connecting it is important than the individual script

Very helpful. Thank you.

thank you ma'am. i've already set my goal to learn Russian.

Thank you! I really enjoyed this.

Впервые вижу, чтобы "р" так писали.

Thanks a lot Daria

Thank you SO MUCH!!! 💖💖💖

И поздравляю со 100 тысячами ))))

In my first form in school my teacher made a bit different letters, just like in a picture, when you search in google "russian cursive alphabet ", she shows a bit simplified letters like "for fast writing"

excellent idea this video , thanks

thank you so much ma'am

Thank you so much ms. Daria I just started my preparatory year at Rudn university and I am surprised I found myself good in Russian at least the basics because of your lessons. Really I appreciate your work and I wish you were my teacher too at university.

Thank you for your tutorial I appreciate you and your video

I love all your classes, спасибо большое )))

Very informative lesson

Easy, easily in love

I find working with one or two letters a day helps me retain it more. Yes it's difficult, but I find easier is not always better.

Very helpful for starting to study russian

👍👍👍 nice....☺️ too helpful to learn Russian language and literature. Thankyou CECTPA.

Спасибо вам большое

I can tell you have a really beautiful handwriting. Thank you for the video

thx for sharing🥰

good work _ God bless you

Thank you👍

Great , thank you

You are the best teacher of any language

Thank You )

Спасибо!

thank you so much.❤️

a suggestion if i may add, when you try explaining to english speakers about writing the cursive small letter "з" and about going slightly below the line. Tell them that it's similar to how when writing cursive english that the small letter y goes slightly below the line. It may be a simpler way for them to grasp that aspect. Love the video by the way Russian and other slavic languages have always sounded so facinating to me

I always though this language will be boring to learn till now.. 🤯 you changed my percepción!? Lovely russian writting tuttorial. Beautifully explained and perfectly written.. 👌🏽😍 🧚‍♀️

благадарю вас ❤

Thank you for this informative video. I'm trying to learn Russian on my own. For me that's formidable. BTW you have lovely hands

Very useful lesson , ty

Извините, KZfaq изменил мой стиль текста. Я хотел сказать, когда-то маленький т выглядит как m. Также малый д выглядит как знак частичной производной в математике. Я надеюсь, вы меня понимаете.

Болшое спасиба Дария🙏🇺🇸

Im new in your class.. thank you

Спасибо
