Added Remembering the Hiragana in Three Hours course which includes embeds of the YouTube video series I did five years ago.
For those interested in how I did this vocabulary list, I made a full list of Hiragana including the glottal stop, voiced marked and dipthong characters in the Heisig Order as a .txt file. Created a .txt file of Core2k/6k/10k vocabulary words. Used the "Kanji Sort" perl program on the vocabulary list. Pasted that list in a spreadsheet, added additional columns (kanji word, english translation, optimized index). Sorted the entire list by Kana index then Optimized Index. After that was the sort of tedious process of getting top 3 vocabulary words that used that Kana and any of the previous Kana taught. Then came the process of Kana to Romaji conversion and filling in additional as needed.
While really low level compared to what we do on this forum, it should prove quite useful to any student of Japanese even if they don't follow the Heisig RTKanji method later. Calling upon the iKnow/Cerego vocabulary pronunciation should prove popular instead of the IVONA voices normally used for such courses.
