Print is for small children and paperwork that needs to be plainly read. Everyone else does cursive writing. Faster and efficent

[@kelcy823]

I don't know why many schools stopped teaching cursive. It is my all-time favorite way of writing. It looks more matured and elegant. Thanks, Jetpens for this amazing video.

[@ChiliPeppers31]

I hated cursive in school as a kid (mid-30s now) but now wish that I had embraced it more. Especially now that 95% of what I write is through a keyboard so my handwriting is atrocious. I think it's even more valuable to teach cursive these days for the sake of penmanship since kids no longer have the same opportunity to naturally develop their handwriting like they would have pre-computers.

[@pillow1557]

​@ChiliPeppers31 Try to write about what you did on your journey or a funny and a joyful memory you remember on a book with the cursive style this will proof your handwriting and your cursive handwriting If you barely remember anything try to copy some stories you like which could improve your memory at the same time

[@aleezakhan1908]

I agree 🎉

[@SemekiIzuio]

I can write cursive but I dont like the look as it looks too messy and clustered but ngl I do it at times because I'm to lazy to having to pick up the pen letter by letter, its easier and smoother to write word per word instead.

As a 60 year old I can’t imagine taking class notes in print. (That would take me so long!). We were taught cursive in 3rd grade. After that all assignments were required to be in cursive and in pencil. No pens until high school! Now I am working on making my print letters look neater!

[@Lenyxx3]

Same for me too, I’m 42. My daughter is 16. She mostly has to type her homework and send it to her teachers online.

[@sanjakosovic]

Same here, and I'm also 42, but it's still like that in my country, except that nowadays kids are taught to type as well, but handwriting is still equally important.

[@BiIlGates]

@@sanjakosovic I am from Austria, I don't know if its different here but we learned Cursive in 2nd Grade with the help of a book. I am currently 23 and I don't think schools stopped learning cursive here because it is just how handwriting works

[@sanjakosovic]

@@BiIlGates We learned it in 2nd grade too and used it ever since. Different people have different handwriting, but everyone here in Bosnia learns to hold the pen correctly, exactly the same way, while in other countries I see different and weird hand postures.

[@cferracini]

Well... she is not wrong. I have met a few 18 years old who didn't learn cursive and my nephew who is 7 is not learning cursive either. I think it's just a matter that more and more schools are dropping cursive but maybe not all of them did yet

[@iancat3934]

I was shocked ! Then I recalled the awful penmanship some younger people had and went oh so that's why 😅

[@Richman4066]

​@@iancat3934 We were forced to write mini-essays (2nd grade level) entirely in cursive and it got so bad that some of us couldn't even read our own handwriting. Under normal circumstances, most of us (including me) were fairly good at it, but after writing in cursive for more than 10 minutes straight, our hands would just get too tired and it'd literally just be scribbles along a lined paper lol

[@paulherman5822]

Cursive was the standard when I was in school, but as I was interested in calligraphy at that time, I changed my handwriting to round hand (another form of script.) Then I had a stroke, and my handwriting went back to maybe like it was when I was 6-8... A lot of patience, I have my round hand back. 😁 Great video!

[@lils6407]

I think it would be very nice to have half the discipline our parents had back in the day (60's mostly) for calligraphy and proper, fluid writing. My father has gorgeous and quick handwriting, and his signature is really easy yet very personal. I wish they made us practice with ink more in school. Great video!

[@anaisromero744]

I can't believe how much I missed this voice...

[@ronsherylhoak9243]

I learned cursive in grade school, but college note taking ruined my hand writing. One of the tips on good cursive writing was "write slowly," impossible in a classroom where information is being dumped rapid fire. I enjoyed this video and am going to go back and practice my cursive!

Same for me. I had pretty good handwriting (for a child) until I went to high school where most of the stuff it's dumped into the board at the same time the teacher is talking, and not all teachers are understanding, many will wipe the board as soon as they're done talking. Uni was a bit better because we were expected to do our own research & classes were more of starting point but still had the same issue, not all professors and instructors are patient enough to wait until everyone is done writing.

[@Kra-ri6fd]

I was a firefighter in the Navy and part of my job was training other personnel on the ship in basic and advanced fire fighting. I would have to sign all their qualifications. One time, the captain told the whole ship that no one was allowed off the ship at our next port if they weren't basic firefighter qualified. My signature was forever altered from that one command. Within like a 3 day span it changed completely and has been that way since. All cursive.

[@adityainduraj7527]

I can't tell you just how much I enjoy your content, your channel is one of the only things on KZbin I look forward too.

[@glossnailsupply3762]

I was a penmanship champion in 5&6th grades. One reason why I love stationary so much. I love JetPens products.

[@allgirlreview433]

Don't tell my second grade teacher that there is "no set style that you have to follow." That was the only subject I ever got less than an A in before high school. Still I'm so glad I know it because I tell my kids I'm going to break out of the old folks home by passing notes in cursive and driving a manual transmission. LOL

[@SilverSeaOT7]

Lol! Same here. I can remember being so crushed in elementary school when I got all A’s except in penmanship. (Also, I’m going to remember your breakout plan!)

[@HS-ml8dx]

I'm only 50 next year, but already working on my break-out-plan too. You girls are giving me great ideas. Keep'em coming! Notes in cursive. Check. Keep manual-driving-skills up to date. Check. Anything else? So when are we doing this? (Remember to reply in cursive so the youngsters can't read it.) Oh, by the way, I'm guessing you are in the USA? Then I'm going to have to get other partners 'cause I' m in RSA. 😂

[@willsinternet]

Lol I went to a religious school up until 2nd grade so we started learning some cursive and I basically taught myself the rest just by practicing. When I went to public school everyone thought I was so cool writing in cursive.

[@chickadddee]

I would encourage folks to let go a bit - after they learn the basics. I love handwriting that is unique and even a bit messy! It can be very beautiful and free flowing, and reflective of your personality. So when I receive a letter or card from someone it feels like a very personal gift . No one else could have written it.

[@biaclarissa4062]

That is so weird. In Brazil we learn to write in cursive from the start. Teachers don't like if you write in any other style, at least during primary school.

[@Spartan-jk9tl]

Yeah same in Cuba

[@fogzxy2978]

Same here-

[@KitOkunari]

In Brazil i had a history teacher that would write in printed letters and it sort of influenced me into transforming my handwriting to a semi cursive printed handwriting because I thought it was interesting.

[@NandigamS]

Same in India

[@awesomeza4593]

Wow😂, not in Canada

[@dcardigan13]

Practice by copying lyrics of your favorite songs or sentimental ones. I'm particularly fond of A Thousand Years. Feels nice to write, and looks nice on journal's dump pages/page breaks too. Also, if you're still learning/new at cursive, it's true that writing at the "just right" font size is best, but once you're comfortable, functional everyday cursive is allowed to be written at any size. I write at small fonts and they're still readable. Well, unless the pen size I use is bigger than 0.5. It's impossible to write small with big pen sizes. Cursive looks nice when written with a relaxed hand.

[@ynieto4446]

This goes against so many cursive "rules" I learned in second grade 😂

[@sajournalmaker1540]

My cursive re-learning project has jumped ahead significantly due to your video. I enjoyed it all. I especially appreciated the hints you gave us of a very personal set of rules and shapes that are invoked for special cases. I am referring specifically to your style of varying the leading letter in a lower-case word. This efficiency is wonderful by itself, but it also gives me direction for developing my own style. You leave me thirsting for more. Thank you so much.

[@sukhnilchowdhury]

I was 5-6 years old when my father taught me cursive. It took me nearly a year to learn it. When I got admitted in Primary School, I used write in cursive. But the teachers complained that they could understand a lot of it so I had to fix my handwriting. As my wrist muscles were used to write in cursive, It was very hard to write in general handwriting and eventually I totally forgot cursive. But now I am here, learning cursive again😊

[@znsnhshs6227]

Ugh I hate when teachers force students who have perfect writing to change it because THEY don’t understand, glad to know you’re learning again!

[@sheeeeeesh4779]

I have been forced to write in cursive for like 6 years and for a short period I wrote in print and I was so comfortable with it I forgot how to write cursive and now my mom is forcing me learn it again :(

[@marcusfenix7015]

same.. even teacher gave me less number for cursive.. so i try to write more understanble for them... now can't write 100% cursive... some letter write normally but cursive style

[@aviancircus7493]

the b you guys do is so much different than how i was taught!!!

[@penelopefp]

Ok, right? And the lower case v.

[@darkmoore05]

Most of these letters (and the connections) look nothing like I learned. The l, b, f all had loops (on the top - our cursive only has loops for the g, j and y on the bottom)

[@clarisssacarpenter8091]

Once we learned how to Write correctly in cursive, Then we were Allowed to write in a style we felt comfortable writing 😊

[@jacquelinebowdoin2089]

[@thetacticalwisard]

In my country(Brazil)we are taught cursive from a young age and my dad used to make me practice for hours because he wanted me to have a good hand writing,I hated every second of it, but now I see the importance of having a at least readble hand writing,this video may help me to learn tho write like a personand make my dad proud🥲 (this was dark)

[@valh889]

I almost learned cursive in elementary school for a hot second, then completely forgot it because I didn't remember aside from the most basic and obvious bits, and kinda just made my own weird way of writing. Now I wanna learn it, cause I think it'll be useful for high school!

[@dankmemer9483]

We learned cursive in grade 2 And I Definitely reccomend Cursive I'd you want to flex on your teachers but it's just so fun to write with cursive

[@Liltoolillied]

who else just wants to give their teachers head aches trying to read what you write

[@QuasiMonkey]

1:05 Man learning cursive in school would have been less of a headache if teachers back then gave us these basic starting advises like using the proper pens & slanting the paper! Trying to learn cursive with a dull pencil or a sticking ball point pen made my handwriting so bad.

[@awxash]

My schools never taught us cursive, well- from what I remember, when I try to write in cursive I normally connect as much letters as I can. I want to learn and this helped a lot, I just subscribed and thank you so much

[@escargo0133]

I think you are using a more modern style of cursive. A number of your letters are different then traditional cursive forms from the 60's and 70's such as your lowercase b and s. You still write very well and it takes me back to better years.

[@Angelchakra]

I was thinking that too - I remember the 'b' being different and having more loops with the lowercase 'b,t and l'.

[@zgf4364]

the way I got taught cursive "n" was that it had 2 "hills" (by 2 hills I mean "nn" and "m" having 3 hills)

[@ReemAlnasser-c8g]

This was sooo helpful to learn cursive ❤❤❤❤

[@angela.luntian]

"We recommend a finer point to read your writing more clearly" Me on the writing on the video: reads the thicker words better than the one written with a gel pen

[@SunshineFL]

I love writing in cursive I even have a typewriter that has a cursive script it’s so pretty

[@SilverSeaOT7]

I literally had an elective in high school that lasted a semester to learn how to type (QWERTY), how to write business and personal letters and timed tests to increase our speed. What I learned in that class has served me well. Same keyboard, different instrument. 👵🏼

[@bookbutterfly2408]

Whoa -- where'd you get a typewriter with a cursive script?! That sounds heavenly!

[@khankhattak.]

I remember starting with fountain pen and then taking calligraphy class, it was most fun time I had.

[@loganalleinora3385]

I grew up with cursive letters since I was younger. 🤔 I remembered when i was in first year of grade school, our teacher taught us how to write in cursive. Eventually we wrote in cursive for all subjects 😂 some teachers were strict about penmanship. However practice makes perfect 😁 just write according to your speed.

[@phanisree4193]

Holy thank you you just gave me a tip to write slow but good

[@melissawilson3729]

Handwriting/Cursive Writing has changed since i was in school. I see ppl writing capital 'B', 'S' & 'I' a little differently then how I was taught. Same with some lower case letters. When I journal, I like to handwrite to keep up with it. I use to have really nice writing all the time but after going to high school it got sloppy bcuz I had to write really fast in order to copy the notes on the board, from the teacher. Before he/she would erase them lol. I had a hard time keeping up bcuz I didn't want my writing to look sloppy....that didn't work lol. I miss having nice and clear handwriting. I really liked when ppl would complement it lol 😝😁

[@Sabeera_Fatima]

We always had a "cursive writing" class. I always hated it and never really cared about my handwriting. Now that I am a bit older, I realised that my handwriting is not the best. It's not bad, really. But it's kind of inconsistent. I'm pretty self conscious now so yeah. I regret not doing well in that class. I hope that I can improve my handwriting now :]

[@michaelschaub7653]

I have worked with computers since the late 80's so type everything. I write at most one check every few months. I never had good penmanship but just recently rediscovered the use of fountain pens. With that I think I want to start journaling. It is hard enough to organize my thoughts into written word but now I really need to practice my writing skills to make what I write readable. Enjoyed this video. Now to get out there and practice practice practice.

Thank god i found this. My school doesnt teach cursive anymore idk why. But we were once tought how to write cursuve in 3rd grade. But in 4th - 5th grade was online classes and they didnt teach cursive. Even when i was in 6th grade. And now im coming to 7th grade in less than a week and the school says that we have to write cursive in every subject. So im learning rn. Also my new teacher seemed strict and was said she was strict so i better practice. I was also practucing cursive like a month ago but i was too busy so ill do it today.

The smoothest ballpoints I've ever used are Bic Cristal. I haven't found any gel pens that write as smoothly for me, with the exception of a Montblanc gel pen that was perfectly balanced and felt like part of my hand. One refill cost as much as 50 Bic Cristals. Generally, ultra fine pens feel like they're scratchy unless I use glossy or ultra fine-fiber paper.
