How to write Brooklyn in cursive
- Start with a capital B (undercurve, slant, retrace, curve around, curve around, undercurve, curve right). Start at the baseline. Make an undercurve up to the topline, then slant down to the baseline.
- Lift the pencil after the B, then write the r (undercurve, slide right, slant, undercurve): an undercurve, a short slide to the right at the midline, then a slant down.
- Swing up into the o (downcurve, undercurve, checkstroke): a closed oval that ends with a checkstroke at the midline.
- From the checkstroke of the o, write the o (downcurve, undercurve, checkstroke): a closed oval that ends with a checkstroke at the midline.
- From the checkstroke of the o, write the k (undercurve, loop, slant, overcurve, loop, curve right, undercurve): a tall loop like an l, then a small loop at the midline and a kick-out stroke.
- Swing up into the l (undercurve, loop, slant, undercurve): one tall loop, the simplest tall letter.
- Swing up into the y (overcurve, slant, undercurve, slant, loop, overcurve): an overcurve, a slant, an undercurve and a second slant that drops below the baseline into a loop.
- Swing up into the n (overcurve, slant, overcurve, slant, undercurve): two rounded humps made with overcurves.
How the letters in Brooklyn connect
- Br The capital B stands alone. Lift the pencil and start the r fresh on the baseline.
- ro r to o: an undercurve join. The exit stroke of the r swings up into the o.
- oo o to o: a checkstroke join. The o ends at the midline, so the o starts from the top instead of from the baseline.
- ok o to k: a checkstroke join. The o ends at the midline, so the k starts from the top instead of from the baseline.
- kl k to l: an undercurve join. The exit stroke of the k swings up into the l.
- ly l to y: an undercurve join. The exit stroke of the l swings up into the y.
- yn y to n: an undercurve join. The exit stroke of the y swings up into the n.

Brooklyn questions
How many strokes does it take to write Brooklyn in cursive?
2 strokes: 2 continuous runs of letters, because a capital that stands alone forces a pencil lift. Inside a word the pencil stays on the paper; dots and crosses are added once the word is finished.
Which letters in Brooklyn are joined at the midline?
The b, o. These letters end with a short bridge stroke at the midline, so the next letter starts from the top rather than from the baseline. That is what makes "Brooklyn" look different from a word with only baseline joins.
Is Brooklyn capitalized in cursive?
Yes. Brooklyn is a name, so it always starts with a capital B. The capital B stands alone: lift the pencil after it.
What is the hardest letter in Brooklyn?
The r and the k. r is the letter most adults get wrong. The slide right is tiny: think of a small step, not a hump. k is one of the hardest lowercase letters. Master h first: the k is an h whose hump collapses into a loop.
