Cyrillic handwriting vs. print: How much should I worry about cursive?

Posted by u/Traveler_563 / May 30, 2026

I'm a traveler heading to North Macedonia in a few months, and while I’ve mastered reading standard Macedonian Cyrillic print, I’m terrified that I won't be able to read menus or handwritten notes if they use the cursive script. How common is it to encounter 'hard-to-read' handwriting in daily city life, and should I prioritize learning to write/read the cursive forms of letters like 'т' and 'п' before I go?
