Maybe I'm the only one but I hate Hanzi. It has been a continuous struggle to get to my current level. I have tried many different methods, including using an SRS and sentences, which I continue to use. I can barely remember any point where learning them has been "fun". If I were to only do what was fun I would delete all of them and stop working on it all together. I really appreciate your website and agree with 90% of what you say. I just have not figured out a way to learn Hanzi that is fun and if I were to wait until I found that fun way, I would not have made the progress I have made so far.

It has the warning tag for items wasting your time. I usually delete them on the spot when I see that. Great article! This is one reason why I continue to use Khatzumemo.

If you're having fun interacting with Japanese in all the ways that interest you, sentences, words, kanji, grammar, idioms and jokes are never in short supply. No one sentence does fluency make, let it go and enjoy the journey ;-) I couldn’t agree more - I think the delete button is one of the most valuable keys on the keyboard.
