I'm going to use those tricks (left hand/fonts) for my accounting units this semester.
Gonna hit advanced financial accounting like a mac truck :-) Edited by freakyaye on 22 August 2012 at 1:14pm 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

And this is a trivial way of making work very slightly harder. Absolutely no one other than you has brought up the concept of a magic wonder pill. 6 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Indeed - writing wrong-handed would be very hard work for me.
So would studying a non-language subject in a TL. I don't know whether muscle memory is a factor for me, but in any case I do like writing things down, for lots of reasons. For one, it sort of makes it more personal and you feel you can own it in a manner of speaking, in a way that's not possible in an electronic device, no matter how attractively formatted it may be there. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

In my opinion - learning with hand writing will only help you if you need or want to hand write your TL.
The hard way is not the best way to learn. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Actually, handwriting increases retention and helps learning. This isn't a matter of opinion. This of course doesn't mean that you need to write things by hand - but there are advantages to doing so, entirely independently of wanting to have the ability.
Often true. Edit: for what it's worth, I consider the benefits of handwriting kanji to be strong enough that it's worth doing. I wouldn't have dreamed of doing it left-handed, but for the fact I couldn't hold a pencil with my right hand when I started doing RTK again. I've been pleasantly surprised at how well it's been going left-handed. Edited by Volte on 22 August 2012 at 7:41pm 3 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

I suspect that the actual secret is that we need to really think about what we are doing when writing, more so when writing with non-dominant hand and the same when reading less clear font.
Probably best way would be to combine all these methods - switch when we start loosing the concentration and trick ourselves back to full focus. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I certainly couldn't use the less clear font method. It would put me off and make me
avoid doing it as long as possible. I don't have that problem with handwriting though. 2 persons have voted this message useful |
