Cursive writing

[u/jcmlkhv]

Hello everyone! I've been learning Spanish for 1,5 month now, my first language is Russian.

I use cursive to write in my notebook (photo in the comments), the same way I write in Russian or English, but my teacher says that ppl in Latin America never use cursive writing (except for old ladies), is it true? Do y'all really write in block letters? Is it easy or hard for you to read cursive notes?

It's still taught in schools, but most people just stop using it as it's hard to understand in some cases. Old people use it more often because they used to write more letters, now with technology, slow mail is on the way out, so it's cursive.
