BTW, if that's really the difference you meant, than your 'regular student' will really have a lot of problems ;) There are so many styles for characters which are commonly used, that it really mustn't be a problem if the strokes don't have the same width everywhere ;) 3 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Tell me about it. As soon as my girlfriend even slightly starts to abbreviate characters or lets the strokes flow into each other, I can't recognize anything anymore!

Oh wow that's cool. I just spent a few minutes drawing some of the kanji I remember and seeing what the Chinese version means. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I'll bet! When I do that in English people get mad that I'm making it illegible... And that's native English speakers. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Haha, it might as well be abstract art. (my handwriting, not chinese) Doesn't resemble what it's made of, and most people just don't ge thte meaning I'm trying to convey... That's one thing I like about Chinese writing (well, that style of writing)- it can be a work of art. Like the link Pyx posted. I'm sure you could do it with latin characters, but it generally looks silly or doesn't in any way resemble the letter.
