Didn't find this set very difficult. The only one I really struggled with was  写 'to write'. It looks like nothing. Giving me no mnemonic to use to remember it. I was instructed to imagine a horse wearing a crown that it had won as a prize for learning to write. Yeah....that's not working for me. 

I will keep going over it until it sticks.
