I'd like to ask a question: has anybody successfully used these animated
stroke diagrams to learn stroke order?

I wish they'd been available when I was first learning Japanese, but now
I find them useful for trying to correct some of the errors that have
become habit. But I suspect they're now such a habit, I'll never break
them.


I learnt the structure using the P.G. O'Neill kanji book but didn't pay much attention to it. I was wondering why so much effort was going into duplicating these animated stroke order diagrams, because I probably wouldn't use them. By the way I wonder if the "Genki" and "Nakama" stroke order diagrams are actually the same? They look similar.
