I learned 2,000+ #Japanese #kanji in 2-3 months through repeated hand-written quizzes of 30 characters per day, so this rings true to me. Wrote quizzes by hand then took the quizzes by hand. sciencealert.com/handwriting-is… #LanguageLearning #Memory #KinestheticLearning #TactileLearning

When I learned 2,000+ kanji in 3 months, I did it all by hand, so perhaps that gave me an unexpected boost. gizmodo.com/cursive-handwr…
