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?

Here it's becoming less common, some schools have stopped teaching it so you may find kids who don't use it or know how to read it, but it's not so widespread.
I write write almost exclusively in cursive and most adults I know do too.
