Just beautiful. Not quite the cursive I learned. Not the Palmer method my mother learned. But it's still very beautiful. In art class, for Old English calligraphy I had to write out whole sheets of each letter capital, and lower case. By the end of the exercise I could write in whole sentences and it looked nice. Then she shows us a copy of the Declaration of Independence, the original was handed off to a calligrapher after Thomas Jefferson wrote it. We may never get to write something so very important in our lifetime, but this person probably thought that too the day before. I hope the art of beautiful writing never goes out of style. It broke my heart when I found out they stopped teaching kids in school how to write in cursive. Friends of mine, their oldest child learned it, the middle child (just a few years younger) didn't get to learn it. The middle child asked me what's the big deal if he can't write cursive? I answered: How are you going to legally sign documents if you cannot sign your name in cursive to distinguish your signature from someone else, if you can only print your name? How are you going to write out a check? Or sign a credit card? It's important to be able to read cursive too. Old letters, old documents, were written in cursive. The Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, were all written in calligraphy cursive. You won't even be able to read copies of the originals if you can't read and write cursive. You need to learn, even if it's your mom teaching you. He had not thought about a legal signature, or any of the rest. Apparently neither did the United States government when they thought it was no longer necessary to teach kids cursive writing. (Idjits.) Thank you for the video, greatly appreciated. Take care, stay safe, have a nice day. 👵🙂✌️🖖 😷 🙉🙈🙊 🌎☮️🕊️
They don't teach cursive in Canada anymore, either. My 3rd grade class was one of the last to learn, and I'm so thankful. My cursive isn't nearly as beautiful as in this video, but cursive lets me write fast and efficiently without losing clarity, so someone who knows cursive can still read my notes easily.
@@ada5851 Hi, Cursive writing doesn't have to be beautiful, it just needs to be legible. 👵✌️🖖 📜✍️📝 PS~ Thank you for being a teacher! I miss those bumper stickers that said “If you can read this, thank a teacher!”. 🍎
@@BROUBoomer Oh, you're sweet! But I think my comment was a bit unclear. I'm not a teacher, I meant that I learned cursive when I was in third grade, and my class was one of the last years that got taught it. Sorry about that. :)
Very, very similar to the Palmer method I was taught as a child in the mid 80s. The capital G, J, K, and others are slightly different though. Still beautifully executed here.
@Luke O'Brien...I learned Palmer method too. I thought that the capital I, N, M, and S looked a little different, too, along with the ones that you mentioned. He also seemed to have an extra wavy bit on the upper left side of some of the capital letters.
I learned Zaner Bloser in 2015~2016, but some of the letters I write differ, especially capitals. The difference is I connect all my capital letters unlike other Cursive methods
I am from France and this is literally how we are taught to write since primary school, it’s very interesting to see the differences between school systems. Btw I was born in 2004 so it is was not that long ago :)
This is similar to the cursive writing I was taught many years ago. This calligraphy is much more relaxed and elongated. I love calligraphy and it isn't easy. Bravo to you video creator.
I haven't seen cursive writing this beautiful since my second grade text books back in the 80s. I know my worrying never got this polished. I swear my signature worsens each time I write. That said, I also feel my kana and Kanji is better than my Roman letters. I think, as an artist, I see the beauty of the writing so I care about it more. As well, everyone compliments my writing on cakes (I am a cake decorator and I am much more careful there than my average writing). All this to say: beautiful.
So true! I remember learning that classic slant and every letter had a pre stroke to connect it to the previous letter. Wow. It definitely changed to more simple stuff pretty quick but so cool to see this. Also, what kind of pencil is that??!!
I'm so surprised how many people think this is new. I learned this when I was in second grade. They taught cursive when I was growing up. It's a shame children don't know this. But then yet they don't teach like they used to.
I have been a teacher in several different schools over the years, and what you said here is factually inaccurate. You should have said, "I'm not sure, but my guess is they don't teach cursive in schools, any teachers out there who can shed some light?" Or something like that...
You sound out of touch with what's happening in your congress halls. Funding for education has severely declined in the past 30 years, while military spending has grossly increased. Ask yourself where the problem is. While I do agree it's a shame that cursive is no longer taught I do feel this is something parents can teach us, if they are able to but also that society (even those without kids) should be investing more in the basics of children's educations. Learning to use one's hands to write a poem in cursive is beautiful.
It reminds me when I was Elementary years in a Catholic school. I used to have a class like this, i practiced so much. I used to love it. The only letter we did different was capital "G". It did help, but my informal-current handwriting is terrible. Loved your video...!
The only one I didn't like was lowercase e. The purpose of cursive is to link letters without lifting the pencil off the page. The e feels clunky, as it's not a true member of the c family and as such shouldn't lead with that up- over- back approach, but should start forward, then cross itself on the loop back, ready to join the next letter.
@@santosmadrigal3702 Every child in school. They often struggle with cursive, but in the UK, the wonderful government inspectors expect to see cursive in books, so we have to have these teaching methods in place to help those who find it difficult.
Beautiful ! So elegant and so satisfying to watch! Here in France cursive is taught in primary school and even preschool. Of course it's not as sophisticated as the one on the video : )
This has lovely flourishes. When I learned cursive it was more simplified. As I grew older through school years, I developed my own cursive style which allowed speedier writing, especially when taking notes. This style is better used for letter and card writing, posters, etc. I love it!
So lovely. I hope the young people today will watch this video. At the bank while buying my home a young woman working there said my signatures didn’t match. I couldn’t imagine what she was talking about until I realized she didn’t understand what a cursive capital letter T looks like! It made me very sad.
That is really sad, as I remember this used to be taught at school. Something is off with the education system, just the other day I was explaining to the delivery girl where I live, and I said Yuri Gagarin street and she repeatedly asked who, and than I said the cosmonaut, and she said nothing. She really didn't know. I was appalled.
It is not not just young people. Adults tend to have different handwriting and way of writing their names differently then as they grow as youth. At 46, my writing is different than at 26. But the next person my age would write different than me, then also different than both of us, the 3rd person our age writes their own way.
This is a Calligraphy version but very similar to the Penmanship we’ve learned in school, just not as ornately done. Really very similar though! Beautiful job! And very calming to watch!
Thank you for demonstrating this beautiful form of cursive! Where I went to elementary school in the early 60’s, I was not taught, and never saw, this style of cursive. We were taught a much simpler style with emphasis on speed. Maybe it was so we could get our papers written more quickly? It certainly wasn’t meant to be pleasurable-just a means to an end. The first time I remember seeing beautiful cursive was on our US Declaration of Independence and later our US Constitution. But, it was SO fancy it was intimidating! Our school students of today might find writing in beautiful cursive to be relaxing if it were offered as part of an art class. Genetics seems to play a role, too. My natural cursive looks much like that of my mother, and her mother, and a little of my father’s mixed in for good measure. I notice my brother’s cursive looks much like our father’s, too. I would love to learn how to write in the beautiful style of cursive you demonstrate here. I enjoy sending handwritten letters to a few friends who think of them as special gifts. What a pleasure it would be to write to them in this beautiful form of cursive!
I loved teaching and using cursive. My arthritis prevents me from doing so well at it, but the concentration used whilst you write slowly can be very relaxing. What kind of pencil is this? Quite soft, no?
I grew up in New Zealand but attended school for six months in the USA when I was 10 in the late 1980s. What a shock! At my NZ school we'd been doing writing with flicks but cursive writing was completely new to me. I could never get the letter r right. But the writing looked so pretty! The writing in this video, mainly the upper case letters look fancier than the writing I learnt in the US.
It is beautiful. I am 65 and learned cursive in public school in the late 60s. I excelled at academic subjects but my handwriting is terrible. Back then, i was forced to hold a pencil in my right hand. I would put the pencil in my left hand, which felt natural. But the teacher would take it out of my left hand and put it in my right hand. It actually hurt my hand to hold the pencil with my right hand. Years later, i heard that "lefties" (left handed writing) was apparently frowned upon. That is ridiculous, i know. So, after all these years, my cursive looks like 4th grade level. Someone once told me that he thought i am a physician. When i asked why, he said that my handwriting looked like a physician's because he couldn't read it. Lol. Unfortunately, many public schools are no longer teaching cursive handwriting. I think that is sad. Cursive and hand written letters are becoming a lost art. Seems like some good things are slipping away. Thank you for sharing.
Very little of this looks like the cursive I was taught in school. Also, we were always taught that the point of cursive writing was that the pen never left the paper--quite a few of these letters required 2, 3, or more separate strokes.
This was nicely done. A few capital letters and lower case ones are different than I was taught in elementary. I guess it might have changed or there were different versions around the US. Regardless, I love seeing this, it was a beautiful trip down memory lane.
Desde pequena mi letra es muy bonita.... Pero siempre quiero mejorar y mejorar, hoy en dia ya casi nadie escribe, me encanta ver este tipo de videos, me dan ganas de escribir algo.... Since I was young I have beautiful handwriting, but I always want to get better and better.... I love to watch this kind of videos. Thank you!!!
I too learned how to write in cursive in the third grade, back in 1965. I remember it well. The very fancy form of cursive you are showing here was popular in the 19th century. Most people at that time were eager to practice handwriting, and perfect their own style. This sort of thing helps immensely to organize the brain, and it's absence is just one contributing factor to the overall stupidity of the present era.
That's some fancy cursive right there! I like it (What you're writing isn't just "English alphabet". You're writing cursive in the style of calligraphy. Cursive isn't used/taught a lot in America anymore.. Typical English now is what is called "print" or "printing". It's a shame cursive isn't common anymore.
This is more of a calligraphy type of font. I learned to write in cursive ( it is still taught in eastern Europe) and we don't actually write with all of those wobbly lines and little dots because it takes time. After a few years everyone has a mixed writing style , cursive and print too
I'm actually trying to learn calligraphy myself now and back when I was in school (I'm 32 now) we learned how to write in cursive in like 3rd grade or so. But now it's not even taught. I've got a friend of mine her daughter, my goddaughter got in trouble for writing in cursive on one of her papers and she's in the 4th grade I think it is and I was blown away to find out that she received a lower grade bc of writing it in cursive smh I was like wow wtf
@@princess2141990 that's interesting. Where I'm from it's older people who don't write cursive. My parents write in block capitals and me and my brother are always commenting on the fact they don't join their writing.
@@princess2141990 that is ridiculous!! I homeschool my son so he will be learning cursive this year. Do they expect signatures to be print now instead of cursive??
@@A-G5518 damn if I know. I'm in SC, the schools around here aren't really up to speed unlike other states I noticed back when I was going to school here. I mainly attended schools in NC and at the end of my 9th grade year my dad had passed away and I ended up having to move to SC and unfortunately my school I was going to messed up and put a zero down on my finals instead of a exempt bc of the death in immediate family and so had to redo 9th grade so when I started school down here they were teaching stuff in SC schools that I had learned like 2 or 3 years prior with some stuff in NC schools.

Thanks for the effort. There is no such a thing as "English alphabet", there has never been and there will never be. This is Latin alphabet. Rome gave alphabet to the barbarians. Period.
I used to learned it when I was in the 6th grade in 1983. It was hard at first, by keep trying to write slowly. I love the beauty shape of lines.. Thanks so much to you to remind me. You have the best hand writing 😊

Não sou a pessoa que fez esse vídeo, mas vou te responder, pois a pessoa que gravou esse vídeo não é brasileira, então acredito que não irá entender a sua pergunta. Eu sei reconhecer traços de lápis grafite, esse que ele está usando é o 02 da linha escolar mesmo, não é nenhum especial. Se você quiser ir treinando com um grafite um pouco mais forte e macio, recomendo o grafite para desenhista, o número 3B ou 4B dá certo. Da linha B, quanto maior o número é, mais escuro é o pigmento, mas também as pontas se gastam mais fáceis, por serem macias demais. Por isso recomendo o 3B ou 4B, pois é um pouco mais forte que o tradicional e macio, mas não é tanto como o 8B, por exemplo. Depois que você pegar a prática, pode escolher as numerações maiores
The lower case letter E shouldn't have been done in two parts. You would start with the tail on the left , arch at the top, come back down the tail to make the loop and then end with the tail on the right. The pen/ pencil should never leave the paper..
I taught cursive writing in the second grade for years. This actally is a fancy calligraphy version of it with the little dots and curliques at the end of the letters, and not the basic cursive we taught. I taught two cursive methods...Palmer and Zaner-Bloser. A retired elementary teacher.😊
I didn't know there were a specific English alphabet. I thought it was Latin, common to all Western languages! Anyway what you're writing reminds me of the Latin alphabet I learned at school as a kid. Did I miss something?
When doing handwriting the pen/pencil should not leave the paper while forming the capital and not leave the paper while forming the word in lower case.
When I was 8, everytime in English class we had cursive writing as a component in the English subject... On each sentence, and every single time, I get penalized for 'running off the grid' 😁, though my handwriting was ever neat (even up to this day😉). I was told off to make corrections by re-writing the same sentence for about 10-20 times, and each time I re-write, my writing still fell off the grid🤣🤣🤣 In the end my teacher said : well, son, you just created your own handwriting😎 At first, seeing this reminds me of having my fingers 'in shackles inside a penitentiary and being forced to write down the history of my life in cursive writing' 🤣. Really, kudos to this guy/girl with such beautiful handwriting😅😁 now I enjoy signing my documents and no longer see this as a form of detention😉 😊
I taught myself calligraphy based on images I found on the internet and I never thought of watching a tutorial cause I was lazy, basically 😅 my handwriting came out good but not good enough, and now I decided to finally watch a tutorial, and let me thank you real quick cause you just made my life easier 😄💕

Just beautiful.
Not quite the cursive I learned. Not the Palmer method my mother learned. But it's still very beautiful. In art class, for Old English calligraphy I had to write out whole sheets of each letter capital, and lower case. By the end of the exercise I could write in whole sentences and it looked nice. Then she shows us a copy of the Declaration of Independence, the original was handed off to a calligrapher after Thomas Jefferson wrote it. We may never get to write something so very important in our lifetime, but this person probably thought that too the day before.
I hope the art of beautiful writing never goes out of style.
It broke my heart when I found out they stopped teaching kids in school how to write in cursive. Friends of mine, their oldest child learned it, the middle child (just a few years younger) didn't get to learn it. The middle child asked me what's the big deal if he can't write cursive? I answered: How are you going to legally sign documents if you cannot sign your name in cursive to distinguish your signature from someone else, if you can only print your name? How are you going to write out a check? Or sign a credit card? It's important to be able to read cursive too. Old letters, old documents, were written in cursive. The Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, were all written in calligraphy cursive. You won't even be able to read copies of the originals if you can't read and write cursive. You need to learn, even if it's your mom teaching you. He had not thought about a legal signature, or any of the rest. Apparently neither did the United States government when they thought it was no longer necessary to teach kids cursive writing. (Idjits.)
Thank you for the video, greatly appreciated.
Take care, stay safe, have a nice day.

They don't teach cursive in Canada anymore, either. My 3rd grade class was one of the last to learn, and I'm so thankful. My cursive isn't nearly as beautiful as in this video, but cursive lets me write fast and efficiently without losing clarity, so someone who knows cursive can still read my notes easily.
@@ada5851 Hi,
Cursive writing doesn't have to be beautiful, it just needs to be legible.
👵✌️🖖 📜✍️📝
PS~ Thank you for being a teacher!
I miss those bumper stickers that said “If you can read this, thank a teacher!”. 🍎
@@BROUBoomer Oh, you're sweet! But I think my comment was a bit unclear. I'm not a teacher, I meant that I learned cursive when I was in third grade, and my class was one of the last years that got taught it. Sorry about that. :)
@@ada5851 same situation but 4th grade, and my teacher was the only one in the school who taught it, and we didn’t do a lot on it.
I put in an offering to teaching printing & cursive iny library. Crickets. No surprise. Will try to start a class myself, the children are interested.
Very, very similar to the Palmer method I was taught as a child in the mid 80s. The capital G, J, K, and others are slightly different though. Still beautifully executed here.
Im not a fan of the k's but the rest was nice.
@Luke O'Brien...I learned Palmer method too. I thought that the capital I, N, M, and S looked a little different, too, along with the ones that you mentioned. He also seemed to have an extra wavy bit on the upper left side of some of the capital letters.
I learned Zaner Bloser in 2015~2016, but some of the letters I write differ, especially capitals. The difference is I connect all my capital letters unlike other Cursive methods
Appreciated
I am from France and this is literally how we are taught to write since primary school, it’s very interesting to see the differences between school systems. Btw I was born in 2004 so it is was not that long ago :)
Good 😊
Pretty standard in a public school in the Philippines long long time ago. We were all expected to write like this.
This is similar to the cursive writing I was taught many years ago. This calligraphy is much more relaxed and elongated. I love calligraphy and it isn't easy. Bravo to you video creator.
Not calligraphy. That a whole different type of tool
@@Debbiediamond0310 No? Hmm, maybe it's just the teacher's difference in drawing then?
@@sandymckoy1356 calligraphy pencils/ markers are flat. So you get a more precise curve
@@Debbiediamond0310 Oh, I did not know that. But now that you've mentioned it, I see you're correct. Thanks, something to remember.
I haven't seen cursive writing this beautiful since my second grade text books back in the 80s. I know my worrying never got this polished. I swear my signature worsens each time I write. That said, I also feel my kana and Kanji is better than my Roman letters. I think, as an artist, I see the beauty of the writing so I care about it more. As well, everyone compliments my writing on cakes (I am a cake decorator and I am much more careful there than my average writing). All this to say: beautiful.
Are you serious? This is the worst cursive writing I’ve seen in my life lol
So true! I remember learning that classic slant and every letter had a pre stroke to connect it to the previous letter. Wow. It definitely changed to more simple stuff pretty quick but so cool to see this. Also, what kind of pencil is that??!!
It's not Roman letters? I think you mean Latin letters as in the Latin Alphabet. Sorry just never heard someone say Roman letters
Lord have mercy I guess it’s back school!!! Beautifully done 👍👍👍
I appreciate the silence. No busy music. That is a gift.
It's always a relaxing joy to see such care in your beautiful penmanship, in whatever language you choose to write!
I'm so surprised how many people think this is new. I learned this when I was in second grade. They taught cursive when I was growing up. It's a shame children don't know this. But then yet they don't teach like they used to.
I have been a teacher in several different schools over the years, and what you said here is factually inaccurate. You should have said, "I'm not sure, but my guess is they don't teach cursive in schools, any teachers out there who can shed some light?" Or something like that...
You sound out of touch with what's happening in your congress halls. Funding for education has severely declined in the past 30 years, while military spending has grossly increased. Ask yourself where the problem is. While I do agree it's a shame that cursive is no longer taught I do feel this is something parents can teach us, if they are able to but also that society (even those without kids) should be investing more in the basics of children's educations. Learning to use one's hands to write a poem in cursive is beautiful.
No they don't teach like they used to
@@7eatheri was taught
@@7eatherbut i don’t remember at all so im watching this video :P
I like how he does it with just a pencil. Proves that good penmanship does not require a fancy, expensive pen!
It reminds me when I was Elementary years in a Catholic school.
I used to have a class like this, i practiced so much. I used to love it.
The only letter we did different was capital "G".
It did help, but my informal-current handwriting is terrible.
Loved your video...!
I went through the same thing, but both upper and lowercase K were different for us
Catholics are the CURSive leaders, historically.
The only one I didn't like was lowercase e. The purpose of cursive is to link letters without lifting the pencil off the page. The e feels clunky, as it's not a true member of the c family and as such shouldn't lead with that up- over- back approach, but should start forward, then cross itself on the loop back, ready to join the next letter.
Everyone texts now a days . Who writes , except us old people ?
.gt
The lower case 'k' wasn't right either
@@janet180971 no, it wasn't. Lol, not even close...
@@santosmadrigal3702 Every child in school. They often struggle with cursive, but in the UK, the wonderful government inspectors expect to see cursive in books, so we have to have these teaching methods in place to help those who find it difficult.
They do not teach cursive writing in English schools any longer, which is such a shame.
Lovely penmanship.
Thats right, I had to teach my 12 year grandson how to write cursive
So true 👍🥲
Correct. My son is going to 7th grade. Didn’t even teach him how to sign his name. I can’t help much as I am left handed
Depends on which english, when i was in primary school i learnt it and i am still a bit young
They used to a couple of years ago when you were in younger grades they had a book with cursive but they don't anymore.
Beautiful ! So elegant and so satisfying to watch!
Here in France cursive is taught in primary school and even preschool.
Of course it's not as sophisticated as the one on the video : )
okey
Lindíssima caligrafia! Gratidão por compartilhar como faz!
This has lovely flourishes. When I learned cursive it was more simplified. As I grew older through school years, I developed my own cursive style which allowed speedier writing, especially when taking notes. This style is better used for letter and card writing, posters, etc. I love it!
I honestly forgot how beautiful my language could look. I remember writing out cursive when I was little. 👍
I was taught cursive just like this. It’s crazy kids are not taught this anymore.
So lovely. I hope the young people today will watch this video. At the bank while buying my home a young woman working there said my signatures didn’t match. I couldn’t imagine what she was talking about until I realized she didn’t understand what a cursive capital letter T looks like! It made me very sad.
That is really sad, as I remember this used to be taught at school. Something is off with the education system, just the other day I was explaining to the delivery girl where I live, and I said Yuri Gagarin street and she repeatedly asked who, and than I said the cosmonaut, and she said nothing. She really didn't know. I was appalled.
Television,entertainment,bad music,bad movies,video games... educating our young people.
It is not not just young people. Adults tend to have different handwriting and way of writing their names differently then as they grow as youth. At 46, my writing is different than at 26. But the next person my age would write different than me, then also different than both of us, the 3rd person our age writes their own way.
@@NeungView I can live with that ! 😆
Im happy to find a video w/o loud, repetetive music playing in the background. Very nice writing.😊
Pretty close to the cursive I learned in elementary school in the early ‘80’s here in the US. But I’ve never seen the capital S or Z done this way.
I was thinking the same thing. The K seems off as well
Your writing utensil tip should never leave the paper in lower case letters either.
The lower case p was interesting
is roundhand calligraphy
This is a Calligraphy version but very similar to the Penmanship we’ve learned in school, just not as ornately done.
Really very similar though! Beautiful job! And very calming to watch!
MARAVILHOSA !!!! ❤🙏👏
Thank you for demonstrating this beautiful form of cursive!
Where I went to elementary school in the early 60’s, I was not taught, and never saw, this style of cursive. We were taught a much simpler style with emphasis on speed. Maybe it was so we could get our papers written more quickly? It certainly wasn’t meant to be pleasurable-just a means to an end. The first time I remember seeing beautiful cursive was on our US Declaration of Independence and later our US Constitution. But, it was SO fancy it was intimidating!
Our school students of today might find writing in beautiful cursive to be relaxing if it were offered as part of an art class.
Genetics seems to play a role, too. My natural cursive looks much like that of my mother, and her mother, and a little of my father’s mixed in for good measure. I notice my brother’s cursive looks much like our father’s, too.
I would love to learn how to write in the beautiful style of cursive you demonstrate here.
I enjoy sending handwritten letters to a few friends who think of them as special gifts. What a pleasure it would be to write to them in this beautiful form of cursive!
I loved teaching and using cursive. My arthritis prevents me from doing so well at it, but the concentration used whilst you write slowly can be very relaxing. What kind of pencil is this? Quite soft, no?
I didn't even know the uppercase Q and S were written like that!! Thanks for the showcase, I really like your neat calligraphy! 本当にありがと！
That was so satisfying to watch! I love this old style! I loved learning "American" cursive in 2nd grade! '82-'83!
I grew up in New Zealand but attended school for six months in the USA when I was 10 in the late 1980s. What a shock! At my NZ school we'd been doing writing with flicks but cursive writing was completely new to me. I could never get the letter r right. But the writing looked so pretty! The writing in this video, mainly the upper case letters look fancier than the writing I learnt in the US.
This is my favorite style
Muy bonita letra Amigo la voy ha practicar , está es la que más me ha gustado, felicidades

Lovely! What a wonderful job!
Really so beautiful handwriting
Hermosa caligrafía. Muchos éxitos!!!
It is beautiful. I am 65 and learned cursive in public school in the late 60s. I excelled at academic subjects but my handwriting is terrible. Back then, i was forced to hold a pencil in my right hand. I would put the pencil in my left hand, which felt natural. But the teacher would take it out of my left hand and put it in my right hand. It actually hurt my hand to hold the pencil with my right hand. Years later, i heard that "lefties" (left handed writing) was apparently frowned upon. That is ridiculous, i know. So, after all these years, my cursive looks like 4th grade level. Someone once told me that he thought i am a physician. When i asked why, he said that my handwriting looked like a physician's because he couldn't read it. Lol. Unfortunately, many public schools are no longer teaching cursive handwriting. I think that is sad. Cursive and hand written letters are becoming a lost art. Seems like some good things are slipping away. Thank you for sharing.
Very little of this looks like the cursive I was taught in school. Also, we were always taught that the point of cursive writing was that the pen never left the paper--quite a few of these letters required 2, 3, or more separate strokes.
Very good hand writing
This was nicely done. A few capital letters and lower case ones are different than I was taught in elementary. I guess it might have changed or there were different versions around the US. Regardless, I love seeing this, it was a beautiful trip down memory lane.
Writing English alphabet in the Philippines is much simpler and faster but still beautiful and understandable. 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Wow!! This is way more advanced than what I learned in school. Very Beautiful
I am from India ❤ your handwriting is very brilliant🙏☺
Beautifully done. Your videos are so calming and beautiful. Thank you for another great video.

Desde pequena mi letra es muy bonita.... Pero siempre quiero mejorar y mejorar, hoy en dia ya casi nadie escribe, me encanta ver este tipo de videos, me dan ganas de escribir algo....
Since I was young I have beautiful handwriting, but I always want to get better and better.... I love to watch this kind of videos. Thank you!!!
I too learned how to write in cursive in the third grade, back in 1965. I remember it well. The very fancy form of cursive you are showing here was popular in the 19th century. Most people at that time were eager to practice handwriting, and perfect their own style. This sort of thing helps immensely to organize the brain, and it's absence is just one contributing factor to the overall stupidity of the present era.
I'm learning calligraphy and your videos are helping me a lot😀😀😀😄😄😄 thanks for this video 👌👌👌👌
I love these calligraphy videos. My freehand calligraphy is getting better and better.
That's some fancy cursive right there! I like it
(What you're writing isn't just "English alphabet". You're writing cursive in the style of calligraphy. Cursive isn't used/taught a lot in America anymore.. Typical English now is what is called "print" or "printing". It's a shame cursive isn't common anymore.
This is more of a calligraphy type of font. I learned to write in cursive ( it is still taught in eastern Europe) and we don't actually write with all of those wobbly lines and little dots because it takes time.
After a few years everyone has a mixed writing style , cursive and print too
I'm actually trying to learn calligraphy myself now and back when I was in school (I'm 32 now) we learned how to write in cursive in like 3rd grade or so. But now it's not even taught. I've got a friend of mine her daughter, my goddaughter got in trouble for writing in cursive on one of her papers and she's in the 4th grade I think it is and I was blown away to find out that she received a lower grade bc of writing it in cursive smh I was like wow wtf
@@princess2141990 that's interesting. Where I'm from it's older people who don't write cursive. My parents write in block capitals and me and my brother are always commenting on the fact they don't join their writing.
@@princess2141990 that is ridiculous!! I homeschool my son so he will be learning cursive this year. Do they expect signatures to be print now instead of cursive??
@@A-G5518 damn if I know. I'm in SC, the schools around here aren't really up to speed unlike other states I noticed back when I was going to school here. I mainly attended schools in NC and at the end of my 9th grade year my dad had passed away and I ended up having to move to SC and unfortunately my school I was going to messed up and put a zero down on my finals instead of a exempt bc of the death in immediate family and so had to redo 9th grade so when I started school down here they were teaching stuff in SC schools that I had learned like 2 or 3 years prior with some stuff in NC schools.
Bonjour L'ARTISTE ,
Hello ARTIST......
I learned that way, I enjoy seeing you practice.
I kept this dexterity (since I am a designer in haute couture textiles).🇫🇷🗼
Merci beaucoup c’est très joli !

The letter Q looks like the number 2. I remember back in the 80s, schools taught cursive writing ❤
В 60-х годах нас учила так писать наш классный руководитель, учившая нас английскому языку. А мои дети, закончившие гимназию(!), пишут печатными буквами☹️
Thanks for the effort. There is no such a thing as "English alphabet", there has never been and there will never be. This is Latin alphabet. Rome gave alphabet to the barbarians. Period.
@@Tbot_2 appreciate your clarification
I used to learned it when I was in the 6th grade in 1983. It was hard at first, by keep trying to write slowly. I love the beauty shape of lines.. Thanks so much to you to remind me. You have the best hand writing 😊
カナダ人なんですけど、ずっと学校で習って、いろんな人の字を見たんですけど、その中でこの筆記体が一番美しいと思います🥺
それでも、やっぱり鉛筆を外すべきではないところで外してしまうのを見て、ちょっと胸が痛みます、、😂
一文字ずつ区切っているからなんでしょうかね。
５０代前半の年齢ですが、中学校で筆記体を学びました。区切る部分以外では、一筆書きのように鉛筆の先はノートに付けたまま書きました。
Is very sad that today young people doesn't know to write ✍️ or read cursive writing !!!! AMAZING, I learned also from my kinder days !!!!! It's beautiful. Thanks for this video. Thanks very very much. Nice weekend to all.
Que bonita letra . 🥰🥰saludos cordiales desde México 🇲🇽👍😉
Who would've thought one could be so obsessed with handwriting !!

That's how I've always done my little Zs, it looks so cool when I put it in my tag.
I was taught this kind of writing and joined up at school in the uk.
Calligraphy is just beautiful. I love watching and with a little practice l'm sure that I can achieve it. Thinking back to early grade school 🏫, it was just pretty seeing the cursive alphabet. Thanks
Linda caligrafia!! Parabéns!!! Qual tipo de grafite usou?
Não sou a pessoa que fez esse vídeo, mas vou te responder, pois a pessoa que gravou esse vídeo não é brasileira, então acredito que não irá entender a sua pergunta. Eu sei reconhecer traços de lápis grafite, esse que ele está usando é o 02 da linha escolar mesmo, não é nenhum especial. Se você quiser ir treinando com um grafite um pouco mais forte e macio, recomendo o grafite para desenhista, o número 3B ou 4B dá certo. Da linha B, quanto maior o número é, mais escuro é o pigmento, mas também as pontas se gastam mais fáceis, por serem macias demais. Por isso recomendo o 3B ou 4B, pois é um pouco mais forte que o tradicional e macio, mas não é tanto como o 8B, por exemplo. Depois que você pegar a prática, pode escolher as numerações maiores
@@Alexia-lq9in Thank you so very much for sharing this information 💞
@@user-lw5wd5rc7o, you're welcome! 😊
What a beautiful handwriting 👏👏
The lower case letter E shouldn't have been done in two parts. You would start with the tail on the left , arch at the top, come back down the tail to make the loop and then end with the tail on the right. The pen/ pencil should never leave the paper..
Absolutely correct
Amazing mind blowing handwriting ❤❤😊
Caligrafia linda 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I taught cursive writing in the second grade for years. This actally is a fancy calligraphy version of it with the little dots and curliques at the end of the letters, and not the basic cursive we taught. I taught two cursive methods...Palmer and Zaner-Bloser. A retired elementary teacher.😊
Do you have a printable copy of the letters we can by to use for practice?
Yes me also
Absolutely mesmerizing!!! Beautifully done!!
I didn't know there were a specific English alphabet.
I thought it was Latin, common to all Western languages!
Anyway what you're writing reminds me of the Latin alphabet I learned at school as a kid.
Did I miss something?
You don't have to be so sarcastic, sheesh. We know what he means.
I wonder 🤔 if they taught the "how not to be a toxic bích" course in ur school, and u just missed it
Very nice❤❤
When doing handwriting the pen/pencil should not leave the paper while forming the capital and not leave the paper while forming the word in lower case.
That's how I was taught in school. I received an A grade in penmanship.
When I was 8, everytime in English class we had cursive writing as a component in the English subject... On each sentence, and every single time, I get penalized for 'running off the grid' 😁, though my handwriting was ever neat (even up to this day😉). I was told off to make corrections by re-writing the same sentence for about 10-20 times, and each time I re-write, my writing still fell off the grid🤣🤣🤣 In the end my teacher said : well, son, you just created your own handwriting😎 At first, seeing this reminds me of having my fingers 'in shackles inside a penitentiary and being forced to write down the history of my life in cursive writing' 🤣. Really, kudos to this guy/girl with such beautiful handwriting😅😁 now I enjoy signing my documents and no longer see this as a form of detention😉 😊
筆記体のKの小文字ってソレだったかなぁ〜❓😆
何か、覚えてたのと違う？っていうのが割りと多い気がしました。
I taught myself calligraphy based on images I found on the internet and I never thought of watching a tutorial cause I was lazy, basically 😅 my handwriting came out good but not good enough, and now I decided to finally watch a tutorial, and let me thank you real quick cause you just made my life easier 😄💕
Poderia mostrá-las num texto? Tenho muito curiosidade de como seria o resultado final.
V nice👍👏😊
Your hand is the most steady I have ever seen and that penmanship is something I wouldn't be able to achieve because of my shaky hands!
Badass cursive 👏👍
Every one looks beautiful ♥️
Absolutely beautiful and so satisfying to watch.
