Everytime I practise my kanji I use the flashcard style SRS system over at kanji.koohi.com.
I get shown a keyword ( in English ) and then try to write the Kanji on paper before I continue.
I’ve often seen the keyword and thought I knew the answer ( It’s the one with the squiggle, the line and the sun ) but having to write it will prove whether I really remember it well and have everything in the proper position, written in the correct stroke order.
Hopefully my handwriting will improve too. Even I can tell that my handwriting looks nothing like a native’s yet – Maybe a 4 year old native.
If I could speak like a 4 year old Japanese kid I’d be very happy with myself.
