might not be the right placs, let me know if theres somewhere better to ask this

I generally find learning new writing systems pretty easy. I've taught myself a fair few. But for some reason, dovahzul runes are giving me some serious trouble. Any tips on learning them from folks who are better with it then I am?

I've written a guide here: https://www.thuum.org/viewthread.php?thread=1870

But you say you've learnt new systems before. If you could tell me what systems you learned previously (and how)  I might be better able to help. (I myself have learned many)

@Sonaak Kroinlah I taught myself cyrillic, which was later reinforced when I began learning russian, and learned Elder Futhark just for fun. I've been learning Hangul, the korean alphabet, through online guides.

I feel I should be able to learn Dovahzul runes easier, and yet I struggle more than I thought. Maybe it's just the shape of the runes that contributes to a mental "weirdness"? or maybe I just haven't given the proper amount of time to learning yet

I can't think of any reason why it should be different.. how long have you been practicing? It can take a week or more to get it. I can only suggest replicating the learning methods you used in the past or checking the link and seeing if that method helps. Or maybe try mnemonics or flashcards?
