***If anyone's already received RTH2, is there any way we can convince you to post just a quick list of characters with keywords from lesson 6 and possibly 7?***

(No detail needed: just the characters themselves and associated keywords would be enough.)

I ordered right away when the books were announced and my order shipped, but given that I live in Canada, I still haven't received my books and I'm chomping at the bit to study.

If someone could oblige so that I can study farther than the L1-5 online sample, I would really appreciate it and owe you a huge one. If you need any favours, let me know and I'd be happy to help in any way I can. (I'm an upper intermediate Chinese student, and have loads of downloaded Chinese movies, so I could send you some on DVD or help you with your studies in some way.)

I'm guessing it is against forum policy to give out all of this information...

Although, it seems based on the site that giving the list of characters would be ok, but not the keywords. If this is indeed ok, I'd be happy to type out a list to get you started while you wait.

Seeing as you've done the first book the keywords shouldn't really even be necessary.

I figured this would be okay to ask, seeing as the entire list is actually available through this site, since you can browse by hanzi #, which gives you both keyword and character. Also, people talk about preparing Anki decks and they are freely traded, here and on Anki's website, which also contains all the characters with their respective keywords.

(What's not available here is the decomposition into primitives, or the stories Heisig gives for the first X characters.)

Since I'll be making up the stories, I was hoping to have the keywords simply based on the fact that some characters have multiple meanings associated with them, and also to strictly follow Heisig.

I am so frustrated at how long this book is taking to ship! And tomorrow is a public holiday in Canada, so the very earliest I'll get it, if by then, is Tuesday. I guess I can't really complain, seeing as I only finished the first book in November or so, so unlike some other people who started and finished much earlier than I, I haven't had to wait so long.

Thanks so much for your reply, rcloud, and I hope that you're able to help me. I appreciate you taking the time to respond. If you prefer to e-mail me, vorpal22 at gmail.

Note to all: I finally received both books! They are quite short compared to their first counterparts, but I'm eager to jump in and start studying!
