2001 Kanji Odyssey Question - purplesurge - 2015-09-18
Hey, everyone!
I've been on and off lurking around this site for a couple of years now and from what I remember there was a group effort to compile the 2001 Kanji Odyssey sentences into an excel file or something... And there was a thing where if you showed proof that you owned the series, you'd be allowed access to the file iirc?
I just bought the online version and it looks like it'll be great, but I really can't do anything with the image file sentences. I'd be more than glad to show proof that I purchased the product, so if anyone could point me to someone who has access to the Excel file, I'd be super grateful!
よろしくお願いします。
2001 Kanji Odyssey Question - mpericks - 2015-09-21
I do Kanji Odyssey and I make my own cards. I recommend this. It gets you familiar with the Japanese input system of your computer, and honestly, it doesn't take that much time. Also, if you push the "Ruby 2" button, it doesn't show you furigana for kanji you're supposed to know. So, when I am putting in new sentences, I use that as a learning opportunity to see if I know how to read everything else in the new sentence that I am supposed to know.
I am now, after about 1000 sentences, able to touch-type Japanese using the Google IME on Windows. Not sure how useful that is, but it's something, and I wouldn't be there if I had just copied a deck.

Thanks for the reply!
I definitely understand the benefits of actually inputting everything yourself. And I would totally be up for that if I had the time to do it. I'm taking a fourth-year Japanese class in college right now, so we're working on business Japanese and reading/writing academic texts (using things like 本 as a prefix ,上記 and 下記, etc.) so I'm already very familiar with the Google IME system and I'd say my Japanese level is pretty advanced. I bought Kanji Odyssey because Kanji (reading moreso than just recognition, because we often have to read these texts out loud in class) is only becoming more difficult as we explore more convoluted topics (artificial intelligence and joint development in robotics, psychologists' takes on the issue of bullying in Japan, etc.). So there's a pretty high workload and I just don't have time to copy out everything myself if I want to learn as much as efficiently as possible.
