Post: The "I just finished RTK1, please congratulate me"...

終った! I've let my review pile fester for the last week or so; it's in the hundreds and I've got months of review to go, especially for the last couple hundred that haven't sunk in yet. BUT I FINISHED...

Post: Japanese ebooks and ebook readers?

Regarding ebook readers in Japan, a few months ago I went on a hunt for one in Tokyo and couldn't find one anywhere. I figured Akihabara would be my last best chance, but no stores had them there, ei...

Post: How do you explain the Heisig method to folks not ...

I've found it's nearly impossible to concisely explain the Heisig system to someone who doesn't know about it, even if the other person is interested. The last person I tried to explain it to was com...

Post: I LOVE THIS SITE! DON'T EVER LEAVE ME AGAIN!

ファブリス, it looks like greasemonkey is the culprit. If I turn it off there's no problem, turn it back on and the review pile just hangs. (btw I'm on a Mac, FF.) I guess I'll try to reinstall the grea...

Yeah, congrats. I'm at about the 1,600 mark myself. Just remember that this site is called REVIEWING the Kanji. This may be "wrong", but I don't really put a lot of brain cells to work when learnin...

I'm at the 1,100 or so mark. So I'm there with you, but right at the time I hit 1,000 I was busy with other things and a little lazy for a week or two and now my review and error piles are HUGE. 400...
