Post: Would it be best to leave all my RTK 1 SRS reviews...

Post: Should I learn vocab via production or recognition...

Post: 500 frames and counting! ROOOOARRRR!!!

I'm up to 561 kanji learned, in 50 days. Not a world-record pace by any means, but I have managed to keep at it. I'm just doing the KO1 kanji at first (in Heisig order), per Nukemarine's suggestion ...

Pipe cleaner is in most dictionaries, including the Oxford English Dictionary (the grandaddy of them all). :) "Helmet pod" is not. I submit that it is not a distinct noun, but rather a noun (pod) an...

Post: 等 (#945) : Does it really mean "etc."?

Post: How many new Kanjis per day?

I'm shooting for 100 per week. Generally this means 20 per weekday (often a few more or less to line up with the lessons and/or primitive groupings), with no new kanji (just reviews) on weekends. Bu...
