I'm a Hebrew speaker, too, and Hebrew nearly always hand-written in a "cursive" form that looks very different from the printed form. It's extremely rare for anyone to write the printed form, except if you're hand-lettering a sign, etc. (And even then, most will be in "cursive") Here's the "modern" cursive form https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cursive_Hebrew https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cursive_Hebrew And here's the printed form: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hebrew_alphabet#Alphabet https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hebrew_alphabet#Alphabet I can do Cursive English, too, easily, because my education was in NY Public Schools. In Israel, where I am several months/year, if I have to write something out in English for a non-native speaker, I'll "print" it, but it never occurred to me I should do this in the U.S. for younger people. I'll take notes in cursive English (and/or Hebrew) when I'm in a meeting in NY. (My first language at home was neither English nor Hebrew but Yiddish! But this was largely spoken; when written it uses the same "cursive" Hebrew alphabet as modern Hebrew, with a few additions for letter variants.)
