Course Description
Russian cursive makes you cry sometimes? This what popular internet memes say.
But I can change the situation and, Russian cursive will make you happy!
If you already started to learn Russian, it is never too late to build a new skill.
You will easily do it with this course.
First three lessons have detailed videos on how to move your hand and explanation of common mistakes.
The 4th lesson explains how to make connections between letters.
Then we’ll write whole words.
When you know the basics, I’ll show you the tricks on how to write letters even quicker.
You’ll be able to test your skill by writing a pangram, a sentence that contains all letters of the Russian alphabet.
I also asked my friends to write some words for you. So you’ll train to understand different handwriting styles.
And as a bonus, you will have a video with 35 words to practice your writing.
I carefully selected particular words that sound similar in English, so it will be comfortable for you to write them and don’t require any knowledge of Russian. You will write more than 80 words while doing different tasks during this course!
Don’t hurry, learn slowly, and practice for 10 minutes a day for a week to develop good neural connections and let your muscles remember the movements.

Olga Ustyugova
Hello, Russian language lovers,
My name is Olga, and I’m a certified teacher of Russian as a foreign language.
I’m here to show you that learning Russian can be fun and easy.
I have a certificate in Teaching methodology and thousands of hours of teaching practice that means that I can explain everything in a simple way.
In 2014, I met an exchange student from the US. She told me that she is looking for a language teacher. It was my dream to teach Russian. These classes made me understand that I want to make teaching Russian as a Foreign Language my profession and several months later I got a certificate in Teaching Methodology.
This gave me an opportunity to make an input in creating Preparatory Faculty for International Students in a university. There I gave classes to the students from African, Middle Eastern, and European countries. In such diverse group I saw the importance of development of intercultural competence at the lessons. This topic was addressed in my Master’s dissertation.
I am also proud to be a participant of the educational program Ambassadors or Russian language in the world.
I invite you to an exciting journey deep into Russian culture and look forward to introducing you to the beauty of the Russian language.

This is a fantastic course for beginners wishing to learn how to write Russian cursive. I have been learning Russian from a textbook for a while, but became slightly frustrated by the fact that I couldn't seem to find a good resource - online or in a book - for learning how to connect Russian letters as they are written. This course helped me out immensely and has allowed me to begin forming words as Russians themselves write them, rather than relying on the printed capital letters that are used in my textbook. This course has been immensely helpful, and, I must say, very enjoyable as well. Thank you!

Russian handwriting 101 made easy! It is very detailed but simple and to the point, exactly what I need. It'd be amazing if you could add some tests based on the course, like trying to guess a word from your friend's handwriting. Overall an amazing course. Good job, Olga. Thank you!
By Regine Lord on 7/9/2021
I enjoyed this course very much. It proceeds very clearly and logically from the basics of how to form individual letters, to how to join them together in different ways (which I found especially helpful), to learning actual words. I also liked the lesson about recognising different handwriting styles. Olga's handwriting is beautiful, and the course handout with samples of each letter was so helpful for practicing. And I loved the opportunity to practice writing all the additional words in the Bonus chapter - thank you for including that, Olga!
