At this stage, you don't want to be quick, just want to look good, and then slowly improve your writing speed after your handwriting is basically formed. After all, writing after work and study is not the same as writing brush, but it still needs a little speed. However, on the basis of your handwriting has been finalized, in fact, many Japanese writing methods are also written in Chinese, so it doesn't matter if you scribble casually. As long as you are not a wild grass person, you can basically understand it. Practicing handwriting is to revise it before you finalize it. Persistence is the most important thing.
If the font has been fixed, it will be a bit difficult for ordinary people to change it. After all, it can be said that the strokes of writing have become a habit, so more time and energy are needed, but there is no need to worry in the past. You have just started learning Japanese, and there is still room for change. I wish your handwriting will look better and better in the future. Don't be too delicate, just make people feel comfortable. ?
