I think you misunderstand, I copied them😂
I can write only about half of them by memory.
That’s exactly what it is. Just like there are Latin fonts that look more like handwriting and some that look more “printed”, Japanese has those varieties of fonts, too. Some even border on calligraphy, I’ll try to edit in a screenshot of that in a bit.
Edit: Screenshot. You might also want to check out the Jitai userscript.
You mean to practice your handwriting? The app that I use, Jitaku, allows you to order the kanji in a few preset orders or manually. One of the preset orders is by school grade.
Sometimes I write part of my diary entries in Japanese, but not very often (I cannot recommend writing Japanese with a fountain pen lol). But from what I’ve seen, the op of this study log @croooks seems to at least practice writing whole words, if not sentences.
First of all, good job! They look pretty neat. Stroke order is also important if you ever want to write quickly or get into calligraphy. There, the strokes start to blend or flow into each other and having a wrong stroke order makes the whole kanji look wonky.
But if that’s not your goal, stroke order is still important, but you don’t need to get it perfect. Most native speakers don’t use the correct stroke order all of the time.
