    In my country English alphabets are practiced in four lines rather that two lines. This helps you to get the highs and lows of certain letters like h, p, t, g, y. You definitely don’t want the reader to confuse your n and h. It’s still a neat looking handwriting tho.

    This is your actual handwriting? Far better than mine, and english is my native language, and I’m not from the USA so they taught us to read and write in school.

    I’m not a native English speaker. But a native user of the latin alphabet.

    Your handwriting is unusually neat. However if you want people to be nitpicky, that first “collection” looks a bit like “cotlection”. And traditionally, the lines that go above or below the lines are 1/2 to 1 times as high as the distance between the lines

    Perfectly legible. Personally I like to exaggerate the lines going up or down like the line going down in “q” and thi hook in the “g” a bit more. But I would not have noticed that you’re not a native writer if I hadn’t been told.

    d, h, l, f and t could all be a bit taller. Same for the line downwards from p.

          How do you know that? Since we’re both making assumptions. It’s extremely well done writing, it’s almost 100% perfect. When students come and show stuff like that and ask if they’re good enough, they’re fishing for compliments. It’s playing coy. Just say, hey, look at my pretty handwriting, instead of pretending to be oblivious.

          How do you know? You interact with human beings over a lifetime. How do you know when someone is being sarcastic, or giving an underhanded compliment, or being suspicious, or flirting? You just do, because you’re human, and you are among humans. If you don’t, you’re just inexperienced, young, or oblivious. You can’t just take everything people tell you at face value and run with it, that’s how you get duped and fucked in the ass.

    It’s pretty good, easier to read than most native speakers I’d say.

    If I had to give a critique, I’d say the letters are rather round, so it can be hard to tell an ‘a’ from an ‘o’, but most people develop quirks like that in English so it’s perfectly fine.

    Firstly, your penmanship is great, better than mine as a native tech worker.

    For some actual feedback, your letter sizes for the same letters are a bit inconsistent. That just takes practice.

    You are writing at a bit of a slant. That is not wrong but not that common, at least in the states.

    You are trying to stay within the lines and that is causing you to change the shape of the letters if they are too large.

    Your f’s could use a bit more curve. They look a little close to a t.

    But seriously it looks great.

      The slant in print writing I think stems from how curisve is (was?) taught in U.S elementary schools. I recall getting the very distinct advice to tilt my paper 45° for cursive writing and it ended up becoming a habit that carried over into my print writing.

        Definitely I was taught to do it for cursive. My school system abandoned cursive after we learned it so I never got in that habit I guess
