Remembering Radicals, Kanji, and Vocab

I learn better by just reading and watching videos and the SRS system from wk does its job perfectly anyway. I don’t think to write them down to help me remember.

Yeah, I switched to reading + Yomichan + Anki recently as well. Feels like on top of WaniKani that would probably be the most streamlined approach to making it easier to remember stuff.

I know this is not universal, but just like with English, reading actually makes me want to use the words and grammar structures I pick up .

Yeah yikes, if you’re going to write (which some people say is a waste of time in 2021, and that’s a legit debate), do it correctly with the right stroke order. It’s more important than it seems like. Correct stoke order degrades legibly (see all the stylized cursive kanji on products and stuff, people can still read them), incorrect stroke order gets more and more impossible to read.

The correct stroke order according to the Japanese government isn’t the same as the one according to Chinese government though, so I don’t really think Chinese characters get that impossible to read just because you don’t write them with the correct™ stroke order.

Someone can write with completely “wrong” stroke order and still have 10x more legible handwriting than someone with “perfect” stroke order.
