I've just started learning Japanese and I decided to learn hiragana and
katakana before proceeding because I want to stay away from rōmaji. How is my
hiragana handwriting? Is it readable? Any suggestions for improvement are
welcome. [![hiragana

question
hiragana
Is my hiragana readable?
The only thing that tinkle me a bit is that sometimes your stroke should be
more straight. In the first picture your **ほ** might look like **しま** to me.
Same for **に** on the second picture, in the second sentence. It might look
like a **しこ**. Besides that, I think your writing is very readable,
congratulations !

answer
also, is it my imagination or did you write your "ne" ね using 3 pen strokes?
It looks as though you might have written a horizontal dash - followed by a
vertical line | followed by the curled part, when you are supposed 'zig-zag'
through the vertical line without lifting your pencil. It looks like you did
it correctly with れ in the top paper. (Though I see the れ in the bottom paper
looks like 3 lines, again....)
