I was taught script in the US and Italy as a child, and never learned it like this.

How do you write it; two separate diagonal bars like described in the article? In this case, how do you “flow” it within a word?

I write it with a descending curve, then go back and cross it with an ascending diagonal line when crossing t's / dotting i's/j's. Like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cel3GtSOzow. I think that's pretty standard in English cursives.
