Adding common Kanji readings to Anki RTK 1 deck

#1
Hi all. I have an Anki Kanji deck based off the latest RTK 1 edition. This includes reference to frame numbers. Now that I've tackled RTK 1 I'd like to add the common Kanji readings. I'll probably separate it off into a separate deck to separate form from readings in terms of card repetition. Anyone know of a spreadsheet containing these readings with reference to the latest RTK 1 edition reference frames?

I like the level of readings contained in the official RTK app, but need the spaced repetition functionality of Anki.

If this question was asked previously, please just point me in the right direction.

Thanks,
Michael

I don't think there is one for the 6th edition. You could either:

* Create the deck my merging a 4th edition deck with readings to a 6th edition deck. This is how I made the 'RTK 6th with stories' deck.
* Use a 4th edition RTK 1+3 deck with readings and suspend (or not) any different kanji.

If you look on the "Nukemarine's Suggested Guide...." there's a detailed Kanji spreadsheet with lots of cross-indexed data in addition to on and kun readings. Shouldn't be too hard to update your current Anki file so that it includes this info. Note this has not been updated with 6th edition changes.

That said, I caution against learning On and especially Kun readings on their own. I think it's best to learn those as a by product of learning vocabulary. Sort of like at a certain point you want to learn words by the sentences that use them, learn kanji pronunciation by the words that use them. Onyomi can be the exception in that there are systematic ways to learn those. Search for RTK2 or Movie Method which are known for this.

One idea I had for those that still want to track their On and Kun learning was spreadsheet that indicated when you had learned at least two words that used kanji that used the same On or Kun pronunciation. You then added that Kanji to your On and Kun review set. I think I posted a thread on it included a quick and dirty spreadsheet.

http://lri.me/japanese/kanji.txt includes both sixth edition frame numbers and keywords and 2010 jōyō readings.

I copied the jōyō on-yomi and kun-yomi from http://www.bunka.go.jp/kokugo_nihongo/jo...index.html. The sixth edition frame numbers and keywords were originally based on the "Heisigs Remember the Kanji (RTK) 6th edition" Anki deck, but I have fixed a few errors mentioned in the RTK 1 6th ed. deck thread.

There is also a modified deck created by the author of the http://japaneselevelup.com website. It isn't based on reading, but adds common vocabulary along with keywords (haven't used it though):

↑ Isn't a direct download link. You'll find that near the bottom of the page. The author wishes to keep the deck direct download link on his website, and as such I respect his wishes.

I recently updated this spreadsheet so that it now contains all the official readings from the Joyo list for the appropriate kanji. The 6th edition of RTK1 includes the 2,136 joyo kanji plus 64 others that the author added. For those extra 64, I selected readings that seem relatively useful or common.

Thanks all. This is awesome. It'll sound controversial, but I don't think it is entirely ineffective to drill readings via Anki, especially where you have multiple common readings in a Kanji. Again, my thing. I'm not advising for or against an approach:->

I'm also thinking of keeping a separate deck. One for form and keyword (which I currently drill) and another for readings only. I'll let you know how it goes.
