Snail Mail In Foreign Script


HanhPhuc

Recommended Posts

I'm not sure if there would be much interest in this form of snail mail, but it's worth a shot. I've always been fascinated with Eastern script and I'm sure most of us can agree that every language is unique and beautiful in its own right. However, how often do we see another language besides English being written with fountain pen on this forum?

 

I was hoping some others share my sentiment and would consider sending a letter in their native language or one they're learning and perhaps include with it a English translation. As a Vietnamese person, I would love to share the beauty of the Vietnamese language with anyone who'd be interested ^^

I hope to explore the vast richness of language on this forum through this method

Cheers,

Khang

I might be able to string a few sentences together in old irish script. It's not easy though so I couldn't write a whole letter with it.

My Hindi is quite rusty as it is, but would be able to put together a paragraph at the least. worth a shot. Let me know if anyone is interested receiving a foreign language letter.

Hi,

 

I very much support your initiative.

 

For example, I would appreciate seeing how Asian nibs depict the written language/s of their home countries. As well as how a Pelikan writes Hindi - is there an accent?

 

Bye,

I'm glad that there's some interest in foreign scripts. I was thinking, but for people who cannot write a full letter, we could meet in the middle and have this similar to The "Showing off your Handwriting" thread. Those who are interested can post a photo of their handwriting in a foreign script

      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
