Recognizing a
character and
recalling how to write it are different.
Seeing kanji on a screen every day helps you recognize them. But pick up a pen, and the strokes may disappear from memory. Simply looking at a character and its meaning does not always build the ability to write it from recall.

Just three simple steps.
