Do you write down Wanikani lessons?

I don’t write down WK lessons, but I started studying kanji with RTK and learned how to write the first ~300 kanji. Based on that experience I can tell you that it’s usually much much easier to write a kanji in its correct stroke order, it just flows. And they usually look nicer too.
So even if you don’t want to exactly learn how to write each kanji (for example, I can’t be bothered to learn the different stroke order of 右 and 左), I’d recommend you to check a fair amount in the beginning so that you get a feel for how it works and from there you will be able to guess the writing of future kanji.

Also, maybe you already know this, but I wanted to point out that Japanese words don’t have a stressed syllable, but rather a pitch tone. A word could have more than one mora that we would consider “stressed”. So I really recommend you that you get the WK pitch info script if you haven’t done so yet!
