Erreurs courantes

Wrong: Using 'v' for the Greek letter 'Beta'.
Correct: Use 'b' or 'v' depending on the era, but focus on the 'b' sound for now.

Skipping stroke order makes writing slower and less legible. Correct habits now save time later.

Wrong: Ignoring stroke order.
Correct: Follow the arrow guides in the writing practice.

The shape 'ρ' is a common trap for English speakers. Remember, it is a 'r' sound.

Wrong: Confusing 'p' shape with 'r' sound.
Correct: The letter 'Rho' looks like 'p' but sounds like 'r'.
