I saw one else post something similar. Use extremely vivid stories for these Kanji, and you won't go wrong. For intimidate, 威 I did this massive image of a LINE of INTIMIDATING WOMEN MARCHING down ...

I think you can go for it, as long as you know your ultimate goals. The only difference between a "realistic" or "unrealistic" goal is age, or how you view yourself. Kids that live in areas with peopl...

Post: How do you recall your kanji?

I'd suggest making stories stronger and more visual. By this I mean you can research a few memory tactics to help with your imaginative memory, but as you go through the book, Heisig will explain the ...

Go for it. What you will be doing is a form of interactive learning that all Japanese speakers and pretty much every speaker does in a language from day one. I played all my Old Nintendo games in Engl...

Post: RTK rough patches

Those Kanji aren't so bad... I'd say anything you stick on, like Heisig says, take up to 6 minutes to 100% get the story down to the key visuals, and revise them often. As time passes though, you will...

I'd say create more context with mixed words and then have tons of conversations about them. For example, chat in Japanese about Chinese high, junior and elementary school at the same time. Then talk ...
