Hi! I’m just wondering how everyone practices writing kanji (or if they do)? I absolutely love WaniKani for learning the kanji and vocab and find it is teaching me to recognise the kanji but find that when I go to write or recall them I often have trouble. I most often have time to do my japanese st…

[image] mandik16: Hi! I’m just wondering how everyone practices writing kanji (or if they do)? [pen-969298_1280] Seriously though, I just write out kanji I have guru’ed for a couple of lines in a notebook until I feel comfortable with the “shape” of the character, and then I move on. Writin…

I have an anki deck for my phone that gives me cards based on the WK level (that I may or may not have neglected for a long time x’D) trouble with this is it’s not great penmanship practice

I have mentioned other places that I use Kaniwani with a tablet input, and my IME set to decipher written text. The tablet I use is an XP pen, that I bought last fall for 30 dollars American. This system may not be as perfect as Kanken training, but Kaniwani is synced with Wanikani, and I feel tha…

I’ve used 手書き漢字ドリル app on Android. I can’t guarantee that it would be available outside of Japan. Besides that, I’ve been copying the contents of my Kanzen Master texts for handwriting practice. Doing it this way serves multiple purposes in one activity. I review content I’ve studied before, practi…

Hi. I went about things differently than you are, having trained writing kanji before learning readings or vocabulary. I studied James Heisig’s books (Remembering the Kanji) and found them to be really exceptional for just what you are asking: learning the proper strokes and stroke order for the kan…

Similarly to @RoseWagsBlue , I use KaniWani as the base of my kanji writing practice. I try to recall the reading (with the correct pitch accent) and write the kanji down on a mini whiteboard. Even if I get the reading correct, if my pitch accent or kanji is wrong I manually fail it. That being said…

I also use a mobile device to practice writing kanji, but I’m also aware that this is not adequate. Writing on a glass screen is certainly a very different feeling than writing on paper. My kanji handwriting is atrocious, but at least my 先生 seems to have no problem reading it haha.

There are probably better resources out there (mentioned in this thread, even), but I just use regular pen and paper, and a script that shows stroke order on the kanji pages. Just a tip, if you ever want to write kanji in regular lined paper for whatever reason, get yourself a good fine-tipped pen …

Clicking on this link was a big mistake, I really don’t need any more pens but… LOOK AT THEM

Well, if you don’t already have this type of pen… :stuck_out_tongue:
