Thread: Am I doing it wrong? Post: Am I doing it wrong? I'm not interested in learning how to write either, but I do it anyway because it doesn't add much to the effort. If I'm going to invest that much time into something, I'd rather do it 100% right than... |

Thread: The "thread" primitive ? Post: The "thread" primitive ? For future reference, if anyone stumbles upon this thread (haha..), I used thread with no problems. I found it was one of the easiest primitives to work with so far. |

Thread: The "thread" primitive ? Post: The "thread" primitive ? I don't understand why so many people felt the need to change the meaning to Spider-man. Perhaps it is because of Heisig's warning that the primitive will occur very often ? But so what if it appears ... |

Thread: Who is your "Person" (Lesson 27)? Post: Who is your "Person" (Lesson 27)? I think I'm going to use a dwarf... I don't like being too specific because it restricts the range of possible stories. A dwarf can do everything normal people do. But it's more fun. Especially if on... |

Thread: How long do you study a day? Post: How long do you study a day? I add about 20 kanji/day on weekends and 10 kanji/day otherwise. I try to do 100 kanji/week. Usually I fail that goal. Doesn't matter. It will take a long time before all the cards are mature in the S... |

Thread: question about arrangement of elements in a kanji Post: question about arrangement of elements in a kanji As someone said above, many primitives are most of the time at the same place.

Thread: Importance of English keywords ? Post: Importance of English keywords ? *huge relief* For a moment I was loosing faith in all this thing. I've just checked a few kanji in a kanji dictionary and you're right, most of the time the keywords and (at least one of) the real m... |

Thread: Importance of English keywords ? Post: Importance of English keywords ? I'll keep going in English then. I think much of my worries about being able to go from kanji to keyword is that I'm overestimating the value of Heisig keywords. I thought they really were the main k... |

Thread: Importance of English keywords ? Post: Importance of English keywords ? Thank you both. I'm still undecided though. It worked pretty well so far, and as the saying goes, don't fix what ain't broken. To be more specific, one of the problems I have with English is, when I... |

Thread: 500 frames and counting! ROOOOARRRR!!! Post: 500 frames and counting! ROOOOARRRR!!! Got to 500 today. I'm finding studying new kanji less and less painful. I'm probably getting better at creating stories and mental images that stick in a reasonable amount of time. That's good. Howe... |

Thread: New meaning for "taskmaster" radicle 攵 Post: New meaning for "taskmaster" radicle 攵 I use Severus Snape, the potion master from Harry Potter. I imagine the first stroke as his magic wand. It made the kanji of the lesson where the primitive is introduced a breeze to learn for me. Exa... |
