Thanks for the tip. I'm also somewhat concerned about smoking (and how to avoid it as much as possible), as well as racism/discrimination, especially because I'll probably be taken as a Chinese nation...

Thanks for that info. I sort of expected as much... But, I might be in a different boat. I was born and raised in New York but I'm Chinese... And everyone (including Japanese and Koreans) thinks I loo...

The new card order for the RTK deck is sorted by Heisig number, not 2K1 Odyssey. I can't figure out a way to change new card order. Any advice?

I guess in the end I'm going to do what I planned to do in the beginning.. Just look up words I don't know from manga/vn/anime as I encounter them, and do the smart.fm deck separately. If language le...

Hey all... the current Core2k/6k deck I'm using with Anki gives me kanji (no context) and asks for reading and meaning on the other side. It's working pretty well for me (I've gone through Genki 1 and...

Post: Best method of studying RTK, and my experience

I've read quite a few posts about the best way to tackle RTK. Some say it doesn't matter how many new cards you do a day, as long as you do at least a few. The "slow and steady" approach is what I use...
