    you have very legible and clean handwriting, but your proportions reduce legibility. all the letters do not have to be uniformly the same height, many need to be taller or shorter than others. if you look at the early writing books for children learning english you’ll see that instead of there beibg one “tier” for the letters to sit on, there are actually two. Capital letters are twice as tall as most lowercase letters and the majority of a lowercase letter is still in the lower tier, but ascenders and descenders should be full height which helps make it a lot more distinct.

    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.

    Very neat, though it looks like you’re afraid of ascenders and decenders. your f’s look cut off at the top, your h’s looks a little like n’s, etc. Looks like you’re trying to stick to a rule from a different alphabet that everything is the same height; the Latin alphabet doesn’t work like that, or at least, it doesn’t in lowercase.

    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.

    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.

    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.
