A possibly stupid vocab idea - sikieiki - 2010-06-03
So here I am learning vocab. After running through Core2k I feel I know the sentences well but that is only because I have seen them so often. A vocab word by itself I will not be able to get. Therefore, I made the decision to do vocab by itself. It is working.
However, to help with learning, I am doing a sort-of i+1 idea.
I took the Kore set of 6000 sentences/vocab and suspended all cards.
I then took vocab that I knew 100%. Easy stuff that I see and know completely.
子 女 原 電話 力
I unsuspend those cards.
Then, when I feel like new cards, I type in the kanji of one I am familiar with and unsuspend the vocab that contains that kanji and others I know and some I dont.
I want to add new cards with 子
電子 女子 原子力 女の子 子供
In this example, I knew all the kanji but 供, so that would be the new card to search with after I am done with the previous set.
As you can see, this repeats a lot of kanji that I know, reinforcing the readings of what I do know while adding parts that I dont. I continue doing this until theres no more kanji in the search or the ones that I see are too difficult.
Its a very simple concept and it seems to be going well.
Having said that, I was curious if anyone has tried this, or if there are any decks out there that use this principle? I dont believe I have seen a sort which does this - the sorts seem to focus on frequency rather than proximity.

to make your method (flexible order and no sorting) automatic you could use swanki
