Thread: SRS and Einstein's definition of insanity... Post: SRS and Einstein's definition of insanity... The way I understand the OP, they were talking about SRS with RevTK. As I understand the Heisig system, it's a shortcut to get yourself familiar with the kanji so that you can start reading. That's ... |

Thread: Heisig appropriate for slow learners? Post: Heisig appropriate for slow learners? There are some people who are not going to buckle down and learn the whole system. So, a lite or ultralite system might be good for them. The friend I was talking about in the post isn't disciplined... |

Thread: Replacing Anki with reading Post: Replacing Anki with reading My problem with Anki is when reviews really start to pile up. You can dig yourself out from that hole, of course, but I often found myself just not wanting to deal with it. If you take 2 or 3 weeks ... |

Thread: Heisig appropriate for slow learners? Post: Heisig appropriate for slow learners? It's not for me, it's for a friend who's just moved to Japan. I've lived in Japan for 8 years and my Japanese is fairly advanced. But I never studied it in school, and I've never really made a syste... |

Thread: Heisig appropriate for slow learners? Post: Heisig appropriate for slow learners? I gather you are the originator of these lists? That's quite the fine service. I will definitely look into them further. While I appreciate Heisig's point that you should learn the whole joyo kanji... |

Thread: Heisig appropriate for slow learners? Post: Heisig appropriate for slow learners? Thanks for that very clear explanation. Actually, I might try RtK Lite myself. I just did the JLPT 2 for kicks in December. I got 100% on the listening, but my kanji knowledge was poor. I still di... |

Thread: Heisig appropriate for slow learners? Post: Heisig appropriate for slow learners? Perhaps this has been discussed, but I'm curious what people think about RTK and slow learners. If people do what Heisig did, sit down and power through 2,000 kanji in 2 months, it seems like a good ... |
