Spanish Handwriting/ Script

BYU Spanish Script Tutorial
​

Reading old records written in ​Spanish is not the same as reading, for example, a modem newspaper written in Spanish. Besides having to become familiar with a different set of words, you will need to adjust to such things as old styles of handwriting, unfamiliar abbreviations, misspelled words, ink blotches, and torn pages. While some of these things may cause you concern, you will find that in a very short period of time, you will be able to read old Spanish records with ease and accuracy.
