Hey guys, the office supply store I work at had a dry erase board on clearance for about 3.50, and I picked it up. I’m thinking using a dry erase board would be really helpful in practicing writing and memorizing kanji and kana but was curious as to what you folks think.

Are you going to write on it? If the answer is yes then it will help
I like those toys that allow kids to write and then erase by shaking like an etchisketch but with a pen-like writing tool. The dry erase board markers are going to add to costs over time.
I’ve done it before but it’s honestly easier just to use paper
Yeah I used to have one that I practiced kanji with all the time, definitely recommend
I like pencil and paper for the friction feedback.
Some of those dry erase markers make me feel a bit ill after some time too.
I used to have a dry erase board in my office. It was how i learned hiragana fast. I’d write out the grid and fill in the blanks. Been thinking of getting one for home for kanji.
I just use a calligraphy practice book. Having the set sized boxes helps me keep the shapes. I also like to use “Water Calligraphy Paper” with a real brush and water.
If you live where Daiso stores are (Japanese version of Dollar Store), they usually have those items (boards and markers) pretty cheap. And yes, I find it helpful for me to memorize the characters.
