💡 Kanji Writing Tips & Tricks

  • Balance is Key: Visualize the character inside a square box to maintain proper proportions.
  • Consistent Practice: Writing a few characters every day is better than a long session once a week.
  • Mind the Gap: Pay attention to the spacing between strokes to ensure legibility.
