I sometimes forget a few characters... and I honestly hate this, my question is, how often does it happen to native speakers? how often does it happen to people that practice calligraphy?
My goal isn't to be perfect on writing the kanji, but I would like to compare my statistics with those more involved with the language.
Some people even claim that it's pointless to learn written kanji, Kanji Amnesia And Why It's Okay To Forget Your Kanji and that people should focus on reading and recognizing them....
However I would like to see more opinions on the subject... |
It's not very important for someone not living in Japan remember how to write all the kanji IMO. And natives, especially young people, forget how to write a bunch by the end of college anyhow. Because they don't have to write them.
Hell, I think my professors (at least the TAs I had) would occasionally forget how to write a kanji mid-blackboard-writing and have to pause for a moment and try to remember.
