How do you all practice writing Kanji?

Interestingly, I’ve found that natives get it wrong more often than ESL people.

There was a post about it.

2000 kanji in 6 months (learning how to write)

[IMG_1057] Spoiler: Learning how to write was so much easier after knowing how to read Last summer I had a conversation with a Japanese woman in a hotel lobby. While on the topic of kanji, she asked me: - Are you able to write the kanji that you can read?" - Oh… no, I’m currently only focusing on learning how to read.

What WK is teaching you is how to read kanji so it is kind of in a passive way. What I find useful is doing more reading.

Although you will be answering using hiragana it could help to remember words based on their meaning.

You can also answer using Kanji on Kaniwani.
In fact, i just noticed you can also just answer in Hiragana, haha.
I do think it’s much better practice to answer in Kanji though, because it also practices typing and recognizing Kanji.

Also, that thread you linked looks very interesting and relevant!
I was also hoping that learning to write would be easier after i know how to read, and it won’t take away study time.
The creator of the thread even goes so far as to say this:
