I'm curious JimmySeal, do you do any structured grammar study with your studies or try to pick it up from context as well? It seems like it would be pretty difficult to grasp a lot of the grammar cons...

Post: IME frustation. How to write ティ

On the OSX IME you type 'texi', where the 'x' is what changes the next character to the small character. I would think it might be the same for other IMEs as well.

Post: After RTK, what about the Reading the Kanji -site?

My biggest gripe about the site is quickly becoming that it is never up. It's been going down for large periods of time over the last few days.

Post: After RTK, what about the Reading the Kanji -site?

As far as showing you the same card so often in such a short period I'm guessing that has to do with how many cards you have in your "known" list. If you just start the site and you go through 50 card...

Post: Questioning my studies and j-drama questions.

I would recommend only writing them when you first learn the sentence and then again on ones you miss during reviews. That should give you plenty of writing practice and more time to study.

The Core lists aren't about kanji really, just vocab. The Core 6000 is just 6000 more to learn after the Core 2000 list (I believe).
