Why

To practice/learn Cangjie (Cangjie) input?

1. Practise Cangjie radical input using keyboard

• Memorise radical key mapping Memorize the Cangjie alphabetical keys (keyboard fingering)
  • ❔ I don't know which keyboard key to press for entering some Cangjie radical
  • ?‍ practice typing with on-screen keyboard showing keys and Cangjie radicals
  • Cangjie radicals
    • Sun, Moon, Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, ABCDEFG
    • One of the top ten bamboo spears HIJKLMN (slant cross vertical and horizontal hook)
    • Human Heart Hand and Mouth OPQR
    • The corpse of the 20 Mountains of Tianbu STUVXY (side and looking at New Fenbu)
    • Difficult X
• Train to radical extraction fluency training to obtain code fluency
  • ❔ I don't know/I am slow at breaking down a Chinese character into Cangjie radicals
  • ?‍ practice by example: write Chinese character with/with radical hints
  • example: to write 2 characters "Hong Kong"
    • character incense = radicals bamboo and wood day = keyboard keys "H" "D" "A"
    • Port = Water 2000 Mountain = "E" "T" "C" "U"

2. Apply spaced repetition learning method for Cangjie training

• SM-2
• modified SM-2 (implemented here)

3. Practical web app written in Clojure/script!
