I'm learning traditional Chinese and found that writing helps me recognise the components and strokes when reading the same characters.
If I just try and visually pattern match with flash cards, anything that's hand written or in an stylised font will throw me off. If I can sympathise with / recognise the stokes used, I find it easier to tell what character they're trying to show.
