1369 days (almost 4 years) of quitting and resuming this thing but here I am having finally guru’d the last set of kanji .
The boost around halfway was me realising if I go full speed consistently from ‘now’ I’ll be done just before the N1 test. I also decided to handwrite all of them as I go, until I feel comfortable with them. That was to balance the chance of forgetting them all by going max speed. And also I generally wanted the ability to write kanji. It was hard hard work.
I’m learning the writing as I go as well. I can write pretty much any Kanji (that I have learned) in correct order if I glance at it, but tell me to write 寒 out of memory and I’ll give you a blank stare lol.
How many times would you write new Kanji btw? for me it’s a few lines on the notebook and I try to remember them at random times for the next few weeks until I get comfortable with them (and then forget everything again ).
.
. But I definitely gained a skill from it. Next step is learning to write completely from memory
