Russian writing: is it difficult for a Spanish speaker?
The majority of ECHO and Ba chiller students speak English, Italian, French, German … They are languages that use the Latin alphabet and have a part of the common lexicon with Spanish.
We cannot say the same about Chekhov’s language, which belongs to a totally different universe: thus the question arises as to whether the scope of the task is not too difficult for a Spaniard .
Naturally, the handwriting learning solutions are different depending on the desired writing register:
- computing (printed, computerized),
- manuscript, the most skilled will be able to turn it into an art.
It is much easier to type on a computer keyboard than to pick up the pen to apply.
However, this last stage is essential to truly master the Pushkin language and be bilingual …
Be that as it may, the difficulties posed by the Russian are real:
- totally different cursive system,
- lexical morphology without any relationship,
- more numerous letters than in Spanish.
But there are also positive aspects, among which we cannot forget:
- the exoticism of Cyrillic resembles its learning to a game,
- Russian is written as pronounced, and inversely,
- the outline of the letters is an inheritance of the Greek, cousin of the Latin,
- Russian is written like Spanish, from left to right and top to bottom.
In conclusion, if Russian writing were so complicated … what about Arabic, Japanese or Chinese?
