Thread: Russian handwriting - feedback and examples wanted!

Just a correction: "You shouldn't lift THE pen. Gosh, this definite article is so hard for Russians, isn't it! I absolutely can't explain why it should be "the" and not "a".

Anyway, there are some Russian letters that don't connect well with the letters following it. Like "б" for example. So it is not possible write completely "flowing" in Russian.

But the average Russian person has excellent handwriting - Judging from the examples here, they must be excellent at teaching penmanship in Russian schools!

Thank you for the correction
I understand my mistake but only because I heard examples not because I know this exact rule, which is bad. Does anybody know the rule?

Yeah, handwriting becomes bad in universities
