How to write in Hebrew?

Question

I'm currently learning Hebrew on my own and I'm a bit confused on writing. Do I write with the symbols or using cursive script? Like here on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hebrew_alphabet

Answer 1

Cursive script is typically used for handwriting.

Block script is typically used for typing.

Answer 2

I'd say learn how to write both ways. It's pretty difficult either way...
