Then my Kyoto sensei told me to write the left hand side as a hiragana ろ but kinda squished. It helped a lot. that sled gave me all sorts of problems for ages.

Yesterday in class (middle school) I looked over at the board where they write the day's plan for each of their classes, and I was taken aback by how bad the kid's kanji handwriting was.
