I'd recommend getting a calligraphy set. Not the Old English calligraphy set, but one that has a pen in the style of a quill pen. Something like this one. Note that the tip is pointed, not flat. Something like this one. Then start practicing. If you look at the guides online, remember you just want to write in cursive, not the Old English style, etc.
In high school art class we did calligraphy and I have found that just the few months we spent on it has really helped me in deciphering handwritten documents (and this was over 15 years ago). Just knowing what letters are similarly formed and how things look when they run together when you're feeling lazy (r, e, m, n, etc) has really helped me.
Make sure you get some quality paper too. Since you're working will an ink well, things can get messy, so using good quality paper can help. You want something that will resist smudging, but won't bleed ink all over.
Edit: That person's handwriting is a wreck!
I got him this one
But I'm considering switching to this one just because it has different tips. I know nothing about these things. He's only 6 so he will be thrilled either way, but it would be nice to have it stick around for a while! If I were getting it for myself, I would get the second one ;)
