What order do you study/memorize Vocabulary in? - vrada501 - 2015-06-30
By this I mean, when you are studying/memorizing Vocabulary, what order do you prefer to study the Kanji in the word, meaning and spelling (without the Kanji)?
Here's an example to help make sense:
Memorize 1. The Kanji first, 2. then the spelling, 3. and then the meaning
which order would you prefer?

"Spelling (without the kanji)" is called the reading btw.
Anyway, my usual order of learning for vocab is meaning=reading, and then later on the kanji (except for when the kanji are simple/obvious). I have no idea how you could learn the kanji spelling alone, normally you'd need the meaning to tag the kanji as a word in your mind (even if it's just an association of keywords). Unless you have a very visual memory? Or maybe you mean your first step is kanji=reading? Feels weird, but at least it sounds doable.

I studied a few thousand vocabulary words with their kana spelling on the front and the meaning on the back. Then, I learned to recognize a bunch of kanji. After that it's fairly easy to understand words written in kanji and guess their readings(pronunciations).
Going forward, I will be doing things a little different. I won't be learning kanji by themselves al-la RTK. Instead I'll be learning kanji as parts of the words they are in and learning the reading and meaning in one step. I'll probably set it up with a kanji word on front, the reading as a hint, and the meaning on the back.

Look at the word, then look at the pronunciation and meaning of the word, and then try and memorize those two things when you see the word AKA how you read.
