To the level 9-ers - YURT and CLEAT confusion

[YukiPhoenix]

And this is a pretty fair and rational statement. Not everything about WK is perfect and works for everyone’s learning style.

It’s just like how not all of WK’s mnemonics work for everyone so in those cases it’s just better to make your own.

You know, you’d have had less people pushing back if you would always just posted like this rather than being antagonistic with guns blazing. For example, we had the same view that writing kanji is beneficial for learning, but in the different ways we phrased the same opinion we got completely different responses.

Worth writing kanji?

Personally, I would say yes. I view it the same as doing math by hand rather than all by calculator. Sure, you can get by, but I don’t feel like I understand as well without the reinforcement that writing things out provides. But you don’t necessarily need to prioritize doing it early on.

We’re all here to learn so we should be helping not fighting amongst ourselves. So I’ll give apologies to you for comments I made last night and the one above that I will edit.
