I have started to read the book vol 1 and have read about 55 Kanji. Do I keep going or do I stop and review them on the RTK website? I was thinking for every 50 Kanji I do, I then review all of them for awhile on the website until i know them all and how to wright them. What do you think? :) Thanks for helping!

Oh and I have the 4th Edition of the book, but I find it hard to understand James W. Heisig it’s like he speaks with riddles some times. He doesn’t seem to speak (write) just plain old simple English. I’m just a confused dummy who needs help! ( ^-^) Thanks everyone!

Sorry, Tracey and Miki! I meant to move only the one message but it moved the others after it as well…

Just thought I would try splitting out the question about RTK so it doesn’t get buried in other study info.

Murasaki337 – Are you using an SRS with RTK? If not, you have two great options – Anki or the kanji.koohii website. Pick one and add the kanji you’ve studied. This way you can study the kanji like you do with vocabulary or kana. The program will tell you when you need to review and this will help put it into your long term memory. Hope that helps! :)

P.s that fugu avatar looks EXTRA poisonous.

I’ve been reading different peoples’ views on using this; some positive, some negative, but I’d like to ask you people here since a lot of you seem to use it.

Is it really the best/quickest way to learn Kanji? I assume it’s strictly for being able to write kanji from memory and basically know what it means? I’m hesitant on this method because it doesn’t teach you the readings… and that’s really why I like Koichi’s approach to teaching Kanji, because I get all (or most) of the readings along with the meaning.

I’ll admit I started on it probably a month ago, but not knowing the readings to the kanji I was learning really bugged me a lot.. so I stopped.

Do you use any other methods alongside RTK that helps with learning readings (besides this website, of course)? I’ve tried looking up various things, but I never can tell what would be reliable or not a complete waste of time.

Oh, I guess that was two questions.

Just do it. It’s really the best thing I could have ever done in regards to Japanese learning :) I guess you don’t realise the benefit until you’re a big chunk through it, but it’s so goddamn useful. It may seem a chore but the benefits are surprisingly big.

Secondly, now that I’m finished, I use TextFugu for the important readings. Really though, there are some readings that you’ll just “pick up” as you go through vocab because they are so common. Learning readings beforehand definitely helps, but it’s not strictly necessary.

Let’s face it, TextFugu’s kanji section isn’t getting finished this decade, so it’s best to find something to supplement it :P

I’ve answered the “should I do it question?” so many times on here now XD Every time I basically say “yes”. Go for it :) Trust us (me, winterpromise31 and Sheepy) ;).

Kind of like.. a push, I guess? I’ll take your word for it, buckle down and do it then. :P

You’re right about the kanji section here. I guess Koichi isn’t a robot, after all. (damn) …

Thank you for the push! And thank you despite answering it 50 billion times.
