Hide Reading or Not

Skrittererer   March 24th, 2013 9:15a.m.

Hey guys,

quite new to the program and wondering whether the "Hide Reading" function is better to be turned on or off? I tried both but so far dont really figured out which one will be more useful for learning and would like to get some opinions if you dont mind. How have you made better pogress in learning with having "Hide Reading" ON or OFF and why?

Thanks!

Hide reading better tests your ability to recall the correct word for a given definition.

Otherwise you're just testing for the writing of the word. There are no other "definition" tests in Skritter, so the writing prompts serve a double purpose...

As nomadwolf says: hide them.

When you get better with characters, recalling the correct word and which characters are in the word is generally a bigger problem than writing the characters themselves.

Hide them, when you read, hear or write japanese/chinese, you will only have one reference, if you do not hide them, you are using 2, your mind will work more if you force it to think in the whole word simultaneously, you will learn faster like that
