First off, thank you so much for creating this site!
If there’s one thing I always wanted to learn about Cyrillic is how it’s handwritten.
But one thing is *slightly* confusing: it looks like the “cursive” and “hand-written” examples are swapped. It’s actually not confusing per-se…but when the “Г” looks like a capital “T” or a lowercase backwards “s”…I could be wrong!
Thanks again!
Hello David,
Thanks for your comment. 🙂
The hand-written Г indeed looks a bit like the Т. Ideally, it’s a bit shorter on the left and longer on the right than the Т.
There is another way to write the Т, you can find it here: https://russianalphabeteasy.com/russian-handwriting/. It’s more classic and taught at schools to children, but many adults do it differently when grow up as the classic way is not the fastest.
As a matter of fact, it’s been a while I wanted to update the tables to include all the versions. Thanks for reminding, I will do it in the upcoming days. 🙂
