Online Resources
Jul. 20th, 2007 05:38 pmHello.
I'm still working on learning the Cyrillic alphabet. I was wondering if anybody could suggest any online resources for learning how to write in Russian. Specifically, how to form the letters on paper. I'm assuming the written form is slightly different than the printed form. I've done a few searches and have found some fairly helpful web pages, but the only images i've found of the written alphabet have been quite small and low-res. They're helpful and usable, of course, but not really the best thing to learn from. Also, they mostly seem to all be fairly elaborate and, uh, 'scripty', like the equivalent of English cursive that my grandmother's generation wrote with. I bet that typical Russian writing doesn't look exactly like that (Although, it's possible that i'm assuming too much).
So please let me know if you are aware of any online resources for learning how to write out the Cyrillic alphabet. Good, clear images would be great, as well as any tips and maybe even different versions of the handwritten alphabet (like very casual writing that one might use to take notes or scribble out a quick note vs more formal and neat, like what one might use for, i don't know, maybe a job application or something.)
As always, thank you for all the help i've gotten from this community. It's been a wonderful resource.
