Reverse study of kanji-(kanji first and then word) - firefink - 2014-07-29
Is there a practice in the labs section that let's you see the kanji and then you have to remember the English word? Reverse of showing the word and then remembering the kanji character.
Thanks

You are definitely got the right idea. It's not a reverse study. I mean, think about it. If you are pupil the sensei is merely going to want to know if you can visualize a certain kanji. If he points to a grasshopper - or to YOU - can you imagine it in your mind? To KNOW the kanji you just need to know how to access the kanji in your mind. A location. Everything else is superfluous (I can actually visualize this kanji, but there is no half decent device I can use...It's the cap with the wind underneath. NOW THAT WOULD BE A GOOD KEYBOARD. Heseig's Method used to access code. I'm seriously winging it here, but a couple of English words and maybe the "answer" - which I believe should be a location. So, instead of using English meanings you could change it to some place, related to that meaning. Or it's pronunciation.
Oh, your question? I don't know that...but e-mail if you want to - I've sort of have a free floating idea. Kanji for Field or Brains and heart on the bottom, of course, and water with the child - and a kana after both....ideas that just come to you.

... wtf that guy?! ^
That's what too much kanji will do to you XD
I don't think there are anything like that in the Labs section, but you can use Anki instead. There are a few shared RTK decks.

This kind of defeats the purpose of the RTK and is more akin to vocabulary learning. The keywords exist to help you recall the kanji. I can't imagine what benefit you would gain from memorizing that. Some/many of the keywords don't even line up with the general meaning that a kanji has so using this method to figure out meaning in compounds won't work sometimes.

Yeah, too much wishy washy advice. I live in Japan and I see KANJI everyday, so guess what? I thought it might be good to reverse it and remember the meaning from seeing the KANJI...
I wasn't asking for learning advice. If you read it correctly you will see its a YES OR NO question.
Thanks comeauch...

Personally I use the Heisig keywords as a naming convention, in order to be able to refer to specific kanji when the need arises during vocabulary learning. E.g., I might say to myself "the compound for 'company' (kaisha) is made up of "meeting" plus "company": 会社.
I find the keywords a convenient way of referring to each of the kanji, notwithstanding that in many cases the keywords don't "add up" to a compound's meaning.

Yes, take a heisig or kanken anki deck or spreadsheet and put the kanji on the front and the keyword/meaning on the back.

Personally I have no plans for writing Japanese, but I have an interest in reading, so I need to know kanji. I can't imagine a better way to learn the kanji other than having a name for each kanji to know if I can differentiate one from the next. If the name correlates to meaning even better, but that's not the main purpose.

I couldn't make sense of it either. Am I a grasshopper??
