Another language junkie here and a new member of this forum. I'm currently brushing up my Italian (my native language but I was born here in the UK!), Swedish and Russian.
Yes why IS Russian cursive so difficult? Every attempt I make looks like a 6 year old right hander trying to write with their left hand - it's just a mess and impossible to read.....still, I'll keep going with my well known book on learning the Russian script
