Better practice for learning Kanji?

I'm just getting started here, but think it's quite odd that the “Composition” practice for Kanji is a random throwing-at-you of words in Kanji with no foundational build up (1-10, etc.) OR practice actually writing Kanji. I've had some exposure in the past and am hoping I'm missing something in here. Any help?

Hi FuruiGaijin,

Sorry to hear that you're struggling a little with the navigation!

These activities are extra tests that test your Japanese character knowledge. Of course, we do not expect brand new learners to Japanese to be able to complete these activities, but we still believe that there should be a feature for users to test these skills. As such, you can skip these activities until you are more confident in your Kanji / Kana skills. You are then able to return to the earlier lessons and complete this activity once you can read Japanese. There is no detriment to not completing these activities; they do not count for points and do not count towards completion. 

If you would like to practice writing individual Kanji characters, the Writing lessons from Module 5 all teach different Kanji, this can be a great way to start increasing your Kanji knowledge and build on what you already know. As you do not need to complete previous lessons to continue on to the next one, you can start learning the Kanji in Module 5 whenever you like. 

I hope this helps!

Great information - arigatou gozaimashita!
