I don't know if there's any of you that read the Post Secret blog, but the current update has one secret in Russian.
I just started learning Russian about 2 weeks ago so I don't know a lick of grammar--we just learned basic greetings and the alphabet so far, but I'm curious as to what this says: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_a7jkcMVp5Vg/SOgLerOj6cI/AAAAAAAAG_0/sDW1darr8ng/s1600-h/mystery.jpg
Also, because I'm trying to practice my Cyrillic handwriting recognition, can anyone correct what I think this postcard says? я надеюсь, что у тебе(?) теперь чицтый(?) кошелек грязь
спасибо!
EDIT: Random question--while I'm on the subject, I figured I'd ask a question I had about Russian handwriting. My textbook and my professor both say that Russians, as a general rule, don't print and almost always write in cursive. Is this really true? In English I never write proper cursive, and I actually don't know many people who do. When I write fast, I inevitably connect letters, but I never write anything like the cursive I usually see in Russian handwriting. What if you needed to write, say, a sign to put in a window in Russian? Would you use cursive still or write big "typed" version letters? What does handwritten non-cursive print look like? Is this typical of all languages that use Cyrillic?
