Learning English, it asks me to draw an entirely different character than it presents. It's consistent through lessons and only with this character - when it shows it, looks like a, but when it has me draw it it's more like 𝓪 but with more curve on the first stroke, like in the image.

/uj This is an unpopular opinion here, but I actually think it’s pretty fair for a new learner to get confused by significant font differences. I wouldn’t expect someone learning to English to recognize that the weird lowercase g (like Times New Roman) is a g the very first time they see it. Even if they did recognize that they’re the same character, it would still be fair for OP to be confused as to why there’s a difference. I wouldn’t recommend just making an assumption about why it’s that way.

EDIT: huh, guess it wasn’t so unpopular

the thing that annoys me most is that these new people keep posting threads for simple questions that could easily be answered by googling

You're getting upvoted because redditors instinctively upvote anything that starts with "this is an unpopular opinion here", not because it's actually popular, but yeah this is definitely a fair question to ask

I wish I could jerk this, but I'm a pussy who still hasn't learned a language that doesn't use the roman alphabet.
