Russian Alphabet by Ruspeach

This video from YouTube demonstrated how to write simple block letters in Russian. It's my favorite video about learning to write Cyrillic letters on YouTube. Other videos suggest cursive writing is much more common in Russia. I'm not advocating skipping cursive writing. But most Russian language learners just need to be able to have another tool for practicing using words. Just like Americans, Russians are online too so before you spend a whole lot of time on fancy writing you'll seldom use ... perhaps focus on Learning to Type in Russian first.
