I’d prefer to buy a physical notebook too with good quality paper. I can’t quite believe it’s not easy to find. I’m pretty sure it will also result in me memorising shapes better but you’re right, it’s not the best way for that particular purpose.

I would use it with different types of pens in different colours.

I want to write pretty characters, i’m not trying to learn the shapes here. The thinking is a separate bit in the studying. What i want is almost like a meditation colouring book if you will: i want a whole page of the same kana/kanji, in very light colour so i can trace over it without thinking. I found plenty resources for learning kana and kanji writing. I have good pen control and neat writing in roman alphabet. Otherwise you’ll just trace them over and over and it won’t remain in your memory for long. Many sources I saw recommend covering up kanji you wrote so that each time you write it from memory. I like it that this also allows me to give more thought to the thickness and beauty of the lines since i don’t have to worry about the shape.Īre you sure it will really benefit your learning? I’d like whole pages of kana and kanji i can almost mindlessly trace, fairly fast, to anchor the feeling physically. Honestly, my writing is at the 5 year old level even when i try to carefully copy. I also prefer the squares with lighter dashlines inside. I highly recommend if you’re a beginner.īut again… only two practice boxes and no dashed dividers in the boxes…ĭoes anyone know of resources or books with kana and kanji with the “toddler” tracing for learning. That’s better but it stops after N5 and I’d like the same for the remaining *cough cough 2000ish kanjis… I’m almost through this one. It has a full page per kanji with more practice: My kittens have had various books like this to learn the alphabet and numbers so maybe such books exist for japanese children?ģ practices is not enough for me, my marking just strays after a while and if i want to practice, i’ve got plenty of blank Genkouyoushi Paper to do so. It’s great but i want full pages with the light/transparent letter to train my muscle memory.
