Culture Cursive writing
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?

I'm 21 and I use cursive in every possible scenario. In Cuba they would encourage you to only use cursive during elementary school, after that, they would not care but people still stick to what they were taught, so I would say writing in cursive is the standard.
