Post: Moving to Tokyo next week.

Post: Is my recall experience the result of Heisig, SRS,...

I'm curious if anyone else has had this experience while doing Heisig with an SRS. I see a keyword and draw a total blank, thinking there's no way I'll be able to remember how to write the kanji. Su...

Post: Half way!

I studied Japanese for many years and lived in Japan for an additional couple years, so the kanji are all pretty familiar to me even though I haven't written kanji on a regular basis in over 3 years. ...

Post: Half way!

I'm at 1150 now, so I guess I can post in this thread. I managed to get through the first 1000 at about 100/day, but I've had to slow down to about 75/day as I prepare to move. My failure rate for t...

Post: RTK without the mnemonics

I'm going to chime in again here. Here's an example of why I like the story method so much: In my many years of studying Japanese, I probably learned at least two or three times how to write 驚き (おどろ...

Post: RTK without the mnemonics

I've been doing about 100/day, and I'm at 1000 now. Last time I tried Heisig I managed to get through the first 900 or so, so I've just barely pushed into new territory. I've also been studying Japa...
