Transfer to English Writing

Filed under 85-392 on Monday, 4 October 2004 at 22:28.

One test of transfer I recently thought of is my transfer to English writing. I do not have any experience writing English with a fountain pen, and my English writing is not particularly good. I wrote down the alphabet in all capitals as well as all lowercase and wrote my name.

It seems possible that as I learn to write Chinese, the strokes I’ve learned may transfer into my English writing. I know that I do not currently write my English characters in the correct direction—I write bottom-up. After a semester of studying Chinese stroke order and the proper direction for strokes to be written, the direction I write English characters in may change, which would change their appearance.
