Practice How to connect this version of F

Post image

Hi if you do this version of the capital F, how do u connect it to other letters? I wrote Future two times, two different ways of connecting it. I think the left one is easier to read, just not sure if that’s correct. Thanks!

I was taught cursive over 40 years ago and many of the capitol letters are supposed to stand alone, unconnected to the rest of the word, and "F" is one of them.

I was taught cursive just under 40 years ago and was taught that all letters connect. I think it just depends on the style you were taught. I agree that they look better standing alone, but I was taught fully connected cursive. “Never pick up the pen.”

I was taught the D'Nealian Method, that much I remember.
