have any of you learned the stroke order for a character and it totally changed how the kanji looks to you?

1. try learning 必 next, which has a totally different pattern, and re-breaks one’s sense of 心

   (there’s more than one way to draw it, one is 心 plus a slash, but the official way is a different order, try that other one)

2. I dont remember if I’m honest with you I started to learn the language exactly a year a go and I still remember seeing them as weird shaped symbols when I beggan but now I see them just we see the latin letters with what we write.

   In fact I feel more easy to read kanji because I only have to give a quick sight to its shape to guess the word I’m reading. I never experienced something like you described.

   What i could describe as a transition between seeing kanji as a familiar shape instead of a bunch of weird strokes put together is when I start to learn more “complex” kanjis like 懲、酢、離、嗣、etc. They changed the way I saw those radicals than when I learn them alone.

3. Next one for you would be 必　that one is not entirely intuitive
