I read all of your words easily (except for the word "pen"), and I think you have good handwriting.

I’m studying to be a teacher and currently work in a school as a teacher aide. If this was an assignment, I would mark yours first cause the handwriting is actually good and I can read it.
Don’t stress about your handwriting, it’s absolutely perfect!

Your handwriting looks much better than mine!
My only suggestion is in the second sentence- you wrote "I still feel my hand a bit stiff."
You're missing an "is" in there- you could write it as "I still feel my hand is a bit stiff," or you could write it as "I still feel my hand's a bit stiff," if you prefer to use contractions.

As a native speaker, this handwriting is better than mine and better than a lot of people I know. Orthography wise, you're good. Only really minor note is the tall bit on your ds are a bit small, but it's still legible.

One minor thing - "orthography" doesn't quite mean the same thing as "ortografía". It doesn't mean "spelling", it's more like "a system of spelling". So if we talk about "Spanish orthography", we might be talking about the use of ñ in Spanish words, how it originated from Latin etc. If you're just talking about practising spelling words in English, the more accurate word is "spelling".
There's a general tendency in English for words of Latin origin (often borrowed via French) to be more formal or more academic, while words of Germanic origin are more informal, or sometimes even "vulgar". So if you go with the word that looks like the Spanish term, it might come across as more formal, or the term might actually mean "the science of X" rather than X itself. There's also the little quirk where meat tends to use the Latin-origin term, while animals use the Germanic-origin terms; the old story is that the English-speaking lower classes were the farmers, while the French-speaking upper classes ate the meat, so we have sheep/mutton, pig/porc, cow/beef, etc.

Very very legible and much better than most people! Great job!

My favorite part was ***¿abeja?***

Yours is the one I want everyone's handwriting to be like.

¿Abeja? Jajaja loved that part, I'm doing exactly the same, writing down everything in a notebook but in cursive... Trying to make it look as best as possible, looks good, keep on doing it!!

Better than most native writers.
Remember that after a . or !, the next word will start with a capital letter.

Looks really good! Only mistake I noticed was "" should be "*is*"
UomoLumaca•
I'm not a native speaker, but shouldn't the last part say "I have *a* bad memory"?

Does your native language use the Latin alphabet? Because as a native English speaker, your hand writing is better than mine, and quite legible. I think your "b"s and "d"s are fine. Maybe elongate your "p"s slightly, but it's really very good as is.

Great handwriting! I love Capitano too, lol
OhItsJustJosh•
Way better handwriting than me
Weary_Bumblebee_4286•
Your writing looks good and readable, at least better than me lol😅

Nicely done. I’d just point out that “orthography” strikes me as a sort of formal or technical term - something you’d see in a linguistics textbook. Looks like you are a Spanish speaker, so I understand why you would use the Latinate word. I think most native speakers would use the Germanic term “spelling” in informal contexts.

Good handwriting. Make your ascending strokes slightly taller on letters like “d” and “h” but that’s only if you’re forcing me to make a critique.

I was able to read all of this, It's better than my handwriting! Well done my friend :)

Good work!
I find the vertical lines on the paper to be more of a distraction than any details of your hand writing.
Technically orthography can mean spelling, but it can also mean things like punctuation and capitalization. It isn't something that is typically discussed as "orthography" when teaching English because it is more useful to say which specific sort of thing you'd like to work on.
You did a few things every so slightly odd, but in ways I would expect from a native English speaker when writing an informal note. First line "Hello! today" being a good example - you put the dot of the exclamation mark too low, and didn't capitalize "today". There are other examples, but none of them impede understanding and I am not sure if you were looking for advice on punctuation, capitalization, the spacing between words, or spelling.

Your handwriting is good and legible! If I had to suggest one thing, it would be to increase the lengths of the stems on your letters like b, d, and p.

That's far clearer than my own handwriting haha. How's writing speed going for you? I've found if I'm writing clearly like this, I'm often sacrificing speed, so finding a nice pace without losing legibility might be a good place to go.
You're doing well!
Tequila-Karaoke•
How about "My handwriting *used to be better*"?
HuntOut•
You've misspelled "misspelled"
