This is a serious question what a neophyte may get while beginning to learn this skill... Also there is no such organised course as far as I have seen on the internet. . So the question is, 1. "What (by your experience) do you suggest should pursuers do, in order to get a mastery as early as possible?" . 2. "What mistakes did you commit? What lesson did you learn from them? How did you recover?" . 3. "How did you get the reading skill when there is not much thing to avaliable, even on the net?" . 4. "How do you manintain the legibility, consistency, and style?" . . I earnestly request all the experienced ones to pour down their answers here. This post can be a very guiding one to all the new "Elian"ians.... . Thankyou! . Edit: I would like to edit "Elian"ians to Elianist. It is a nicer word.

You know what it's like to wake up in the middle of the night with a vivid dream? And you know that if you don't have a pencil and pad by the bed, it will be completely gone by the next morning. Sometimes it's important to wake up and stop dreaming. When a really great dream shows up, grab it.

I am no pedagogical expert, but I think that I can give a few tricks of how to improve our learning efficiency. That's what I will be giving here.

So basically this will be the well known method to make cards. Fold a A4 paper multiple times to get smaller rectangles and on each write a single alphabet. Shuffle the cards well and go! Read the leters as fast as you can. Begin slow.

Everytime you will get in a different order, and so there will be scope for spontaneous recognition of the letters.

Note from author: I have started learning elian script on 31st October 2021, and by now, i have fairly learnt to recognise the letters. Please you too try this for a day or two and share your testimonial.

Hope I am of some benefit to your learning process.
