It is easy for me to tell where someone is from based on their handwriting. For example, all the Germans I've known in my lifetime all have very similar handwriting. Same with people of Japanese ethnicity, Chinese, Korean, and most full-blooded europeans. All of my older Italian relatives have very similar handwriting- cursive with quick strokes ( Read more... )

your russian handwriting is far nicer than mine.
i do my z's the way you have them written in parenthesis.

funny. just today i was thinking about asking my livejournal friends the same question.
i have different writing for different occasions... private journal entries.
notes for my anatomy/physiology class, notes for music history.
the way i write to friends across the atlantic.
all different... all me.

interesting question.

my russian handwriting was absolutely atrocious before i took a real russian class. my russian friend told me that it looked like a five-year old's who was just learning to write.

and i also do my z's how i did them in paenthesis. when i was making this page (which was sometime last year), i realized i wrote my z's wrong on this paper (i never, ever write them like the ones before the parenthesis) but did not want to do the entire thing over again.

i also write differently depending on the occasion. i usually print my school notes, but i write my journals in cursive and write letters to people in cursive as well.

ah yes. i've taught myself the alphabet, but am too scared (and too busy!) to start really learning the language.
that will have to wait for university, no? it's a good thing my pronunciation is good already, however!!

i'm trying to get ahold of some hand-written notes in russian.
perhaps this will help me with my cursive... so far it looks so impersonal.

yes-yes i've found that german speakers are generally able to pronounce russian very well.
