    Hey ^^

     

    So I’m new here on the forum and wanted to know if my handwriting was okay or not, and where I have to improve

    Please take a look :) (Sorry for bad quality)

    From just looking at it fast, I can tell you that

    your ほ is written wrong

    your お should probably have a far larger circle, and the dot is placed wrong.

     

    You can embed images by using (img)link(/img) using brackets instead of parentheses :)

    Specifically, the last stroke in the ほ should start at the top horizontal stroke.

    I have terrible handwriting, so I probably shouldn’t judge others’, but…

    - さ, き, そ and ふ all look a bit different in handwritten style – it’s a bit hard to describe, but in each case, one of the strokes is done as two, with a break in between.

    - The second stroke on the い should be a little smaller (otherwise it risks looking like a り).

    - The dash on the か should be to the right of the character (otherwise you risk confusing it with a や)

    - う, し and つ need to curve a bit less sharply

    - The dash on the む should be a littlefurther to the top-right

    - The first stroke on the ら is more of a dash than a bar.

    - The る and ろ need to finish a bit further to the left. Also, be careful to make them different – it looks a little like you’ve started to draw a loop on the ろ and then changed your mind.

    - れ and わ should loop up and out more.

    Some of these might be kinda quibbles, but penmanship is seen as rather important in Japan.

    I only pointes out what confused me when reading, and you must admit that both ほ お were hard to read? Maybe it comes down to the fonts you are used to. :S

    the さ, き, そ and ふ part was what i wondered about the most, I tried learning to write from here, and everytime I clicked on one of these I thought something must be wrong on the site :D

    I just started Hiragana a week ago so these tips are highly appreciated, I think I better learn it right from the start ;)

    Apart from the problems pointed above, it all looks okay to me but maybe you might want to make the last stroke on あ just a little bit longer?

    Btw your を and ん are beautiful.
