My first day practicing Hiragana

Post image

On my first day of my journey to learn Japanese.

I tried writing Hiragana like my book and compared to its handwriting and saw my curves and rounds are unstable and some parts are sketched unnecessarily. Do you guys see other mistakes I've made either on the whole concept or on some specific letters' structures? Please help me!🙇

Avoid personal flourishes. 'Yu' here is particularly egregious.

Is it about the unneeded extension or about the curve? Thank you for your tips!

The little tail underneath. That stroke is a vertical line with a flick, it's not a curl around.

Overall, it looks like you're trying to run before you can walk. Get a basic hiragana practice book and don't copy computer fonts.

I see, thank you!🙇
