Not to worry, it's not like my writing-system-challenged self is in a particular hurry to learn it! I just realized I had an opportunity here to approach it the way my brain learns things and not the way I would almost certainly be forced to approach it if I tried to formally study paleography.
From what I've seen, learning how to write Kurrent is a solid first step to learning how to read it (worked for me and some of my friends, also looks fancy on greeting cards), so if you have the time for it, that could be a fun project.
See, this is the exact thing that does not work for my brain, not even a little bit, and will guarantee that I never learn it at all. *g* What I need are reams of samples of "problem" (Kurrent) and "solution" (transcription), so that I can unleash my passive pattern recognition skills at it.
