You know why I can read Classical Chinese? Because I have spent the last year slowly but surely making a complete handwritten copy of my favorite textbook. Every explanation. Every example sentence. With my own original translations and margin notes. On nice sturdy paper with a pen I find comfortable to use. I’m at 183 handwritten pages so far.

(Gonna repeat again that a lot of people who think they hate writing by hand actually hate cheap ballpoints that hurt their hands.)
