I am starting a series of videos on my style of cursive writing, this first video is in German, but should be useful, because you'll mostly learn by watching. If there is interest, I will do an English version

Actually, just watching the video is helpful. I am routinely practicing different loops, and wondered if I should "pause" at the end of each loop, or try for continuous movement. Pausing at the end obviously doesn't hurt, which is good because my writing doesn't look as fluid if I don't pause.

 

Also, it is fascinating to see how you write your "e". I have just started using a two stroke e (as opposed to forming the e from a loop). My letter is now much more legible. it never occurred to me that I could go back and finish my "e" as if I were dotting an i or crossing a t. Personally, I won't usually do my two stroke e like that, because my writing requires me to immediately stop and finish a letter. If I come back to "get" it, I am invariably in a hurry and "miss" the letter. It is good to know, however, that I could "fix it" later.

 

So, though I don't speak German, watching the video does provide useful information.

 

Thank you for posting it,

 

Greg

I found your video very interesting. I had never seen an e made in quite that way before. In grade school I was taught cursive handwriting using the Palmer method. Is your method the way you were taught or a method you created on your own? Seeing how you create your ascending letters Im wondering how you would form the descenders, the y,g,z,,J etc. What about the different methods of teaching handwriting in various countries, how do they differ? I correspond with a friend from Slovakia and find it interesting that he makes his t in one stroke without going back to cross the t. If you were to take a sampling of the handwriting of the average Frenchmen, or german, or scandinavian, or Italian would you note specific differences from one country or region to another? Are schools in Germany spending less time teaching cursive handwriting in favor of keyboarding?

 

Your video very interesting and made me question other aspects of cursive handwriting.

No my style of cursive, but I loved the videos. Saw them both but I come watching the German in spite of the fact that I do not understand German. Your voice, the music and the noisy nib are a great combination. And you have a real pen too. Nice black piston filler with a springy steel (M?) nib, looks like. Thank you very much for posting it.

I'm a user, baby.

 

We love what we do not possess. Plato, probably about pens.

Ich muss ernstlich über den Brief "e" denken.

I first saw your handwriting on youtube in a video where you were testing a very nice Pelikan. I have to say that I really enjoy your cursive and that that is an amazing pen. What type of ink are you using?

"No one can be a great thinker who does not recognize that as a thinker it is his first duty to follow his intellect to whatever conclusions it may lead. Truth gains more even by the errors of one who, with due study, and preparation, thinks for himself, than by the true opinions of those who only hold them because they do not suffer themselves to think." -J.S.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
