Write the character out ONCE re telling the story. The key here is the number of times it says to write the character, just the once. It is a very structured method of learning and I don't need an internet connection, granted Skritter can review previously learned characters. After 3 years learning Chinese I now have the right method for myself and hope to finally stop banging my head of the wall.
Ok, thanks for the response. I can easily see that different types of resources work better depending on each person's learning style.
I've only been learning for 6 months and am still trying to find a learning process that helps me retain the details long term. The thing about simplified characters is so many look so similar. I can't over stress the importance of learning the basic building blocks really well now while you're at an early stage of your learning and the radicals.
I really messed up here and the more characters I learned the more foggy things became hence I'm now returning to the basics and learning them really well, something I should have done at the beginning, and already I can see a huge difference. I'd advise you to give Heisig's book a go. It might take a month or 2 months before you get used to it but even if you only learn 5 characters a day, after a month or two you should find the process of learning new character and distinguishing them much easier.
NB: you don't need to spend loads of time rewriting characters over and over, perhaps at the beginning to get used to stroke order but after 6 months you should have enough practice writing characters.
Otherwise it is a complete waste of time IMO. The reason I like this is because it doesn't allow you write the characters on the iPad, I write them by hand just the once which helps reinforce muscle memory.

I have requested this on Pleco before but I don't think its one which many others are interested in hence it's not in the pipeline. Last edited: Apr 2, I did buy the StickyStudy app several months ago, but after starting to use Skritter never went back to it.
I had thought about looking back into it again, but since then purchased the full Pleco pack, which includes the flashcard capability. I haven't actually even looked at the Pleco flashcard capability because Mike has said one of the next Pleco improvements would be a full re-write of the flashcard functions.
As such I figured there was no reason to get "attached" to a particular capability if it had a high chance of going away. I started realizing I had too many flashcard options and have been sticking with Skritter for now as my main learning vehicle.
