Question

I'm new to learning Russian, and was wondering if its considered strange to write in block letter form. My cursive is horrible, and I find it easier to write in block, but dont want to seem wierd.

normaly you shoudn't write in block like children do: http://www.poznayka.ru/uploads/creative/babushke.jpg it's funny, even ridiculous. adults should write like this: http://nekin.narod.ru/images/e25-all-letters.gif
but they may also do like this: http://stat10.privet.ru/lr/0814ea6d8fb6feb4ade1163ce1f327a7 it's ok.
usualy adults do like this: http://st.free-lance.ru/users/sarkazm/upload/filey2uNGJ.gif it's fine too

and don't be shy. everyone starts with auwful writing. no exeptions :) http://toogeza.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/school_paperbook-8.jpg

putin does like this: http://www.gamo.ru/arhiv/pic/PutinHandWrit.gif

and if you are md, you can write even like this: http://www.myphotoalbum.ru/photo/kids/42742.jpg doctors writings always are terrible, but no one cares :)

Wow. I've been studying Russian for several years and the words on that toogeza.com link are very hard to read. And it turns out that it's because about half of the words on that page are not Russian words - they are Finnish. I think that was an assignment sheet for a Russian student who was learning Finnish. :)

i guess so, but my point was, that his writings are auwful and looks like children's (i think he really is quite young). and it's ok, we all write like this, me too :)
