I may never know how to use it.

I had certainly forgotten how to write quite a few characters, but most of them came back quickly. It would probably be a good idea for me to practice writing more regularly, because it builds a good foundation for learning more vocabulary. Let’s see how it goes until the next challenge 🙂

I was already using Skritter for a half hour a day, so for this I added another half hour. I used your technique of fitting it in whenever I had a few spare minutes: standing in line, waiting for my wife, at the doctor’s office etc. I found that Skritter was adding vocabulary faster since I wasn’t spending as much time reviewing so I’m learning more. Since I always have my iPhone with me I see no reason why I can’t continue with an hour a day.
Once again your challenges have helped me expand my learning opportunities. Thanks Olle! And thanks for the Tuttle prize as well.
