Danke für die Begrüßung, Michael! :P
And thanks for the suggestion, I love writing that curvy ‘ri’, so now I have to convince myself to change… Won’t be as hard with ‘ki’ and ‘sa’, just a matter of getting used to write that way.

@Para: Your handwriting seems to show a lack of confidence in what you write (those slightly wavy lines your kana seem to have, for example). I’m far from good at writing, but I’d agree with tracing over, like Michael suggested, so you can be more confident you are writing them correctly. And try, at least once a day, to write all the characters in a paper, so you can get really used to their shape and the writing method. Finally, don’t be too hard on yourself, we’re all learning and nobody is immediately good at writing kana. :)
