    I’m not a native English speaker. But a native user of the latin alphabet.

    Your handwriting is unusually neat. However if you want people to be nitpicky, that first “collection” looks a bit like “cotlection”. And traditionally, the lines that go above or below the lines are 1/2 to 1 times as high as the distance between the lines

    In my country English alphabets are practiced in four lines rather that two lines. This helps you to get the highs and lows of certain letters like h, p, t, g, y. You definitely don’t want the reader to confuse your n and h. It’s still a neat looking handwriting tho.

    Perfectly legible. Personally I like to exaggerate the lines going up or down like the line going down in “q” and thi hook in the “g” a bit more. But I would not have noticed that you’re not a native writer if I hadn’t been told.

    you have very legible and clean handwriting, but your proportions reduce legibility. all the letters do not have to be uniformly the same height, many need to be taller or shorter than others. if you look at the early writing books for children learning english you’ll see that instead of there beibg one “tier” for the letters to sit on, there are actually two. Capital letters are twice as tall as most lowercase letters and the majority of a lowercase letter is still in the lower tier, but ascenders and descenders should be full height which helps make it a lot more distinct.

    This is your actual handwriting? Far better than mine, and english is my native language, and I’m not from the USA so they taught us to read and write in school.

    Very neat, though it looks like you’re afraid of ascenders and decenders. your f’s look cut off at the top, your h’s looks a little like n’s, etc. Looks like you’re trying to stick to a rule from a different alphabet that everything is the same height; the Latin alphabet doesn’t work like that, or at least, it doesn’t in lowercase.

    很漂亮 Much better than mine. You can see an example of my handwriting in my post history.

    Decently readable, though some of the letter forms you’ve chosen could be confused for others (‘a’ is quite similar to ‘o’, ‘f’ could be confused for ‘t’). When I’m lettering for engineering/math I use engineering gothic letterforms which avoid these ambiguities, among others (I vs l vs ι vs 1 vs 7, a vs α vs o vs ο, O vs 0, q vs g, k vs κ, v vs ν, u vs μ, B vs 8). When I’m handwriting I just write chickenscratch unreadable to anyone else including my future self after a year or so.
