Writing Exercises in Pleco

  • Tried the writing exercises.
    • We have a writing test this June 11 and ive only managed to master  懂 because its one of the most clearly remembered concepts from Chinesepodcast. 
    • Set it at Play Audio (go to settings of Pleco to adjust Audio Volume; phone has a 60db audio cap)
    • And Show meanings. 
    • Then I try to write the character. I try to make sure I have a good story per character, until my brain just masters it. 
    • From previous attempts it took me about 100x to master recall writing some characters but still fail to make it pretty legible.
  • Previous Scores is always at less than 5% (20 item quiz) the ability to remember a Character enough to write it vs recognizing it. Recognition i have at the lowest a 20% score. 
  • It takes me 5-15 minutes to break down a character into its Radicals (wikipdeia radicals) and form a story. So a 10 item quiz would take me about 80mins or 1.5 hours on average. 
    • I should time it and time my practice sessions.  
  • I need to limit the scope of my self test when the Cycle is over. I will regress back to NPCR 1 onward but as Writing Tests.
