Post: Heisig Coverage in Core 6000 words?

I'm adapting the Anki "Japanese corePLUS" deck to use just to practice reading / writing kanji, starting with the Core 6000 expressions which include kanji. I already know how to read well over half o...

Hey guys, I'm currently writing a thesis about kanji, and I'm trying to find examples of creative kanji use by natively Japanese speaking writers / mangaka / advertisers / your Japanese friends. I d...

Post: forgetting stories

I agree with the other posters, that this is what if the final goal (you shouldn't be writing complete Japanese sentences later in life and have to remember your Heisig stories). But you should be car...

I finished RTK about a month ago, took some time off from reviews when school started, and now I'm back in the swing of things. But I'm still going English Keyword --> Kanji. I already speak Japa...

For the most part, I would say YES, FAIL THEM. There are some kanji that you probably know so well (from before RTK, if you studied kanji then) that you don't need stories for them (for me, one was "N...
