Hi,

I discovered the book and the site 2 weeks ago and I finished the first part of the book (12 lessons). I didn't had any problems so far, and on the 276 kanjis I've seen, I may have "forgotten" two or three kanjis only (mistaking one element for another for example, it's not a serious memory problem on my side).

My question is: should I / could I take one day off for an "extremely big review" of the first part of the book in order to consolidate what I've learned, before beginning the second part of the book? or should I keep going considering I frequently use Anki and Kanji Gym Light every day?

I'd say you've answered your own question here. If you use this site every day too then the Leitner system will make sure that if you don't really know the kanji it will remain in the lower stacks.

Since everyone is different I'd say you just need to experiment and see how fast you can go while remembering previously learned kanji.

OK, I get it. I'll try to keep going and do more reviews of my previous lessons while learning new kanjis. Thanks.

I suggest to always better repeat learned kanjis over learning new. Most important thing is to learn and repeat kanjis every day. Do not mark your goals in "learn xx kanjis every day", but maybe better in "learn and review xx minutes every day" as otherwise you would have had a day full of reviews but do not feel that it helped you. But reviews are very important. If you do reviews every day - as you told, you should just do what you want, you'll find out what works best for you!

By the way: There are some chapters that are really easy to remember, especially if you have chapters with not-that-much new primitives, where you only have to make stories on your own.

I agree with styrmis, I think you should keep going, and let the SRS review system take care of it.

I started out trying to get 100%, and it didn't go so well (after the first 300, I added only another 300 kanji in 6 months).
Now I try to keep adding new kanji, (I still review here every day), and it's working much better.

I wrote a post about it - http://forum.koohii.com/showthread.php?p...3#pid15413

Good Luck.
