Use them as much as possible when chatting online. ;) I tried flash cards but I find them a bit boring and it's quite tedious to print those cards and cut them out every time. Another option, which was my answer to a similar question a couple of weeks ago, would be to find some easy children's books using Chinese characters. I recommended 乙乙和丫丫 back then, but I guess I'm a bit prejudiced about those books because the original is in Dutch. (Which is kinda easy for me since I have the original here at home as well, so I can just keep the original next to it.)

put hanzi within ur eyesight! u are familiar with widely used hanzi day by day. dont care about uncommonly used ones. some chinese persons also dont know them. carry through firmly to the end with determination.

a complicated chinese word is constituted by many simple words.in addition,it always has much relation with those simple words for the meaning.for example,树 is constituted by 木，又 and 寸.tree has relation with wood,so 木 is in 树。
