Should I learn to write Russian in cursive or print?
After getting home from vacation and settling into my routines again, I realized I'm going to have a long August before school starts. So to challenge myself, I was going to try to learn a language by myself. I initially chose Russian, because it seemed like a unique choice. Now I have stumbled upon a roadblock. Writing some of the Russian letters is a challenge, so before I wasted my time learning those characters, I wanted to know if more people write in a cursive version of the language or print. I figured I may as well go all the way and write the way most people would. Thanks for all advice in advance.

The thing is, I know they are both somewhat gnarly and confusing, but Russians mostly write in script and type in print (obviously). I would focus on print, but you should at least know the script. Either way, thoroughly know the alphabet that you may learn the language without hinderance. And just remember, Русский самый лучший язык.
I advise you to learn print letters first. You’ll be able to read texts in the Internet and books. Cursive is just for handwriting. Well isn’t it just like in English too.
Write in cursive.
