Teachers cannot teach cursive. They can give a class the needed techniques and that's it. Cursive is 'self-taught' through hundreds to thousands of hours of practice, practice, practice. Before typewriters (showing my age) and word processing programs they got the practice because they had to. Now they don't.

Re: Living on the Planet (none / 0)

I dunno. I learned to write in the steam powered days before this new-fangled electrickery, and all I can say is Dog, in all her infinite mercy, couldn't lift my hand-writing from the uttermost depths of illegibility.

Cursive or otherwise

Even I struggle to read it, let alone anyone else.

keep to the Fen Causeway

Re: Living on the Planet (none / 1)

Three possible explanations:

You need to slow down and accept the fact cursive takes the time it takes
You haven't spent enough time practicing
Karmic influences from a former life are impelling you to try to write in Japanese
