No, actually I can't recognize most characters isolated unless they appear in a sentence. You can see the same issue with writing code. I can read 10 books on writing Rust code, but until I actually undertake some projects and write some real code in an unforgiving environment, I'm not gonna learn as well.
The issue with writing characters isn't writing individual characters. It's writing whole sentences, and then facing the inevitable error feedback from others. I get this with Pinyin too because Pinyin autocomplete often inserts the wrong character and I don't notice until it's too late, but that's just it: pinyin autocomplete kind of promotes laziness. 90% of the time it's correct, and so I don't spend a lot of time proof reading it. I have just found hand-writing slows everything down and the muscle memory aids in remembering.

- HKH2 5y agoSorry, I have no idea what you're talking about.
- cromwellian 5y agooops, somehow my response to another thread got put here.
- HKH2 5y agoI've learnt a lot of characters and words using flashcards in Anki. When you're reading books about Rust code, it's more passive than producing the sound that the character makes and then checking it and marking it right or wrong. Even native speakers should check what they type, and if they want to guarantee accuracy they should read aloud what they've typed to slow themselves down. It's not a handwriting-specific thing.
