  I have always thought that being able to read, let alone write, Cyrillic cursive is a form of magic

    I write all text in my own custom font, which only i can read. I cant barely read other cursive cyrillic text.

    Obligatory лишишь (“you will deprive”). Cyrillic cursive really is wild

    I feel like at least the example here is very legible. What I can not do is read Sütterlin, a historic form of German handwriting script. The text in this postcard is German, which is my native language. Except for some very simple words like “wir” or “mit”, I cannot read this.

      What was interesting about my son with down syndrome: as he learned to read he became a master at reading cursive…somehow.

      We’d hand him Christmas cards that we struggled to read from old European relatives(that wrote in older script) and somehow he’d read it off no problem.

      My guess is words always needed decoding for him and context played a role in guessing the word, so it became a skill somehow

        That’s the older brother of Sütterlin. So, no.

    I can sound out horrific guttural Cyrillic text thanks to Geoguessr, but this just looks indecipherable to me. The urge to leap at typical Latin script pronunciation is much harder to stave off for some reason, and half of the glyphs just look completely alien to me.

    Language really is a fucking miracle

    You: the existence of the subway is actually a lie to make Russia look strong to the west.

    Bob: oh damn

    You: we aren’t allowed to talk about it in English. The birds are microphones.

  I don’t think bad marks were justified. This is how I see every interaction go with polyglot colleagues, its like a modem handshake and they settle into the most comfortable common language
