Is there a specific method of cursive writing used by the French and German peoples?
Last semester a young woman from Düsseldorf wrote some things on the board for us and her script was a bit different from American script. LG, sunny 1 person has voted this message useful | |

It depends hugely on age and region, but in my personal experience, many German hands are still slightly similar to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%BCtterlin and the older forms of German handwriting, in that the letter forms tend to be very angular, and u's and n's look very similar.
As far as I'm aware, France has a national copy book that nearly all students learn from. In my personal experience, French handwriting tends to have way more curves than German handwriting, similar to my own. I find some American handwriting quite difficult to read. The basic letter forms, particularly capitals, seem to be quite difficult to what I'm accustomed to in Ireland. 2 persons have voted this message useful |
