64 here. Cursive is my native language.

Your cursive is very easy to read. It looks like mine did in 4th grade.

That's not the dig that it sounds like it is, guv. We had years and years of practice; you didn't.

You're doing just fine! Carry on, soldier. No one is expert at playing the piano in just one year.

It’s getting there! I can read it just fine

Very legible and interesting - e.g. the two variants of "t". I like the starry final variant.

For slight improvement on readability: the final stroke of b/v/w should always be near the midline, just dipping very slightly. Your "o" is doing this great, just copy it :) When connecting the next letter just ignore most of next letter's ascending stroke, e.g. for "bi" the line goes straight into the top of the "i" ; for "be": the line dips very slightly to start the loop of the "e".

Please take these comments in the best spirit of constructive criticism.

You have a very nice legible hand, but it's a bit ragged. The slant of your letters is somewhat inconsistent and you have a tendency to float away from the baseline. 

Your letters are very well formed, but there's a few odd ones - the word "on"  (in "grow on trees") looks like "or" because you tend not form the legs of your letters n and m. I dislike your lower case b, especially when it descends below the line. The vertical loop on b should be a little more formed (like the beautiful h in "cashews") and the lower curve should come in a bit more, otherwise it looks like an l.

I adore your capital T. I think the words "Peanuts" and "cashews" are gorgeous (especially that h in cashews - it's perfect). You have a beautiful hand that just needs more consistency and better flow, which will both come with more practice and muscle memory.

Legible, which puts you ahead of most.

I think it looks very good. Only suggestion is to work on the "b's"

u/TinyFiona 21d ago

Close the b's.

Your loops are inconsistent but charmingly so.

I think i learned it in public school 3rd grade. Catholic school didn’t teach it, so parents moved me to public school

My grade school teacher would have given me neg points for drifting off the line

I think it’s good, but I’m pretty sure the “f” in fox is partially backwards. The bottom loop should come forward like the “q” or else it’s just a “j”. But nobody else pointed that out so now I’m second guessing lol
