More options for kanji drawing practice!
We're delighted to announce several improvements to the Drawing center.
Drawing kanji yourself is a great way to cement them in your mind, as it invokes multiple learning styles. For example, the physical act of moving your fingers to shape the strokes creates 'muscle memory'.
Plus, drawing kanji requires you to call to mind aspects of the character that you may not have focused on when you were trying to learn it visually. For example, you need to remember the correct stroke order, and you need to have a sense of what each stroke looks like individually.
Kanshudo's Drawing center is here to help! We've added several new features:
- Practice drawing the kanji in any of your flashcard sets. For any flashcard set that contains kanji, Kanshudo will automatically identify the kanji cards, and turn them into a list for you to draw.
- Practice drawing any of the components used in the Joyo kanji.
These great new features complement the original functionality:
- Practice drawing hiragana or katakana.
- Practice drawing the 50 most useful kanji components.
We're also working on a kanji drawing game and another exciting drawing-related feature. If you have any comments or suggestions, please let us know!
