What scripts or techniques do you guys use for visually similar kanji? I’m currently getting destroyed by ‘room’ and ‘clubroom’ but these aren’t the only culprits. When only one of them is on the screen at the same time I have trouble distinguishing it from other similar kanji, so ideally I’d like…

Room and clubroom got me mixed up a couple times too. The (top to bottom) ground-private-dirt radicals are in both of them. Here’s how I concrptualize it: when I’m in my room, I’m constantly cognizant of the position of the roof (or the ceiling). The flag radical looks like a roof to me. It looks li…

Seconded. Write them out when you learn them and when you get them wrong, if not every time you review.

Oh my god all this time I thought it was the kanji on the left that was different! No wonder I couldn’t tell the difference.

Haha funny for the first one I always read it as ぶや so it’s makes me think of Splatoon then I laugh then I write へや… EVERY SINGLE TIME ^^"

I think the only reason I got past this was I managed to burn 部室 by some miracle and so it’s gotta be 部屋 when it comes around. :wink:

Yeah I’ve been relying on knowing which one is currently in apprentice but obviously that’s not the point of WK… since someone posted the comparison screenshot I’ve been doing much better with it. I don’t have any issue with room and shop, it was just that first kanji being the same that threw me o…
