I built a Notion template to learn Hanzi using the "LEGO Method" (Component Logic). Is this actually helpful, or am I overcomplicating it?
Hi everyone,
I've noticed that many learners struggle with rote memorization of characters. It looks painful.
As a native speaker and a data nerd, I see characters as combinations of logical parts—like LEGO bricks. So, I built a Notion Template to visualize this structure.
- How it works: Instead of just writing the character, I break it down:
- The Character: 伙 (Partner)
- The "LEGO" Blocks: 🧍 Person (亻) + 🔥 Fire (火)
- The Story: People eating around the same fire are partners.
- Status: [Notion property for Spaced Repetition]
I'm trying to figure out if this logical/database approach is something you guys would actually use.
Does this look useful to you? Or is it too much setup? I'd love your honest feedback before I build more into it.
