Sorry if youâve gotten this question before but what do you recommend for practicing writing characters? Like paper and pens? Iâve tried practicing on regular paper but I feel like it doesnât help with getting the characters to look right and was wondering if thereâs better ways to practice?
donât worry! i havenât gotten this exact question so itâs all good! also, writing characters is one of my favorite ways to learn them so i could answer questions about this all day
i do prefer practicing on paper with a pen (i say pen bc pencils usually smudge and just make things messy later on). i usually just grab whatever paper is nearby and use that, so most of the time itâs looseleaf.Â
if youâre worried about your characters looking right (by which iâm assuming you mean proportional and natural) then i do have a recommendation for you. youâll need access to a printer though for this one.
in a recent ask i mention hanzi grids as a way to practice writing characters, so iâm going to bring that recommendation back and add on to it a little bit.Â
once you make your free account (you really just need an email address to do this) and go to make your grids, hereâs what i recommend you do.Â
at the top of the page there will be a box labeled âcontentâ that will look like this:
as you can see i have the phrase âäœ ć„œćâ typed into the box with the option âsingle characters selectedâ on the drop down menu. what you would do is type or paste the words you want to practice into this box.
next you should go to the sidebar and look at these options:
âvisible charactersâ makes the grids look like this:
âopacityâ just toggles how dark the gray is for the lighter characters. you can also toggle the âvisible charactersâ option to show less of the characters so you can practice on your own so it would look something like this:
once youâve set the grids up to your liking, you just hit the button that says âgenerate pdfâ and then print it. once youâve got that, just practice writing until youâre satisfied!
i really hope this was what you were looking for! ć æČčïŒ
