Hi, Sarah! Welcome to the Forum! My daughter, a lawyer like me, lived in Abu Dhabi for 4 years! She has now returned to Texas, United States, & is in Houston. We visited Abu Dhabi & Dubai & enjoyed it very much!
I have (very basic) Italic & (pretty good) Copperplate. I tried to conquer Spencerian, but I have too much Copperplate in my hand. I was taking a (I think third?) class with Harvest Crittendon & she stopped by my desk, to check on my progress. She said, “You have very good Copperplate. Why are you attempting Spencerian?” I said, “Well, I love Spencerian!” She patted my hand & said, “Well, honey, it doesn’t love you back!” She was 100% right & I have abandoned that quest!
I hope that you are more successful in your journey than I was!
At any rate, I’m glad that you are here! Welcome!
Janis
