    Nice try!
    All words are understandable.

    A few notes:

    1) lines above small "т"'s are not necessary - but it's not a mistake, and if you like the look of these lines it's ok to use them
    2) stems (lower parts) of small "р"'s are too short, which makes them too similar to "п"s and can be confusing. Same goes for all your letters that have long lower parts ("з", "у", "д", etc)
    3) You wrote "килАметр" (the small hook to the right of "O" is unnecessary)
    4) "конИерт" instead of "концерт" (a small hook in "ц" is missing)
    5) "Ч" in "чемпион" and "чай" looks too much like "у". It should look closer to English cursive "r".
    6) no need to connect words when you use cursive. Only letters in words are interconnected.

    Thank you very much. Here, I have the last version after your advice. Please tell me your opinion.

    What i have done is copy the Pimsleur lessons posted by Grogs in the Pimsleur thread, copied them into XL and changed the font type to Monotype Corsiva which is as close as i could find

    So not only do i get to listen to and speak the Pimsluer lessons i get to read and write them, its a bit of a ball ache copying them into XL but i am happy to send the files for Pimsleur 1 Lessons 1 - 30 to you.
