New to learning kanji, suggest Anki kanji decks

#1
Hello!

I am new to learning Kanji and was wondering what Anki decks you guys suggest that work the best? Or any other methods for learning Kanji that could help in my efforts.

ありがとう!  Smile

LINK REMOVED.

^^I believe this is the one I used with RTK (which I think is based off this site, but I'm not sure). This site also has its own application on it that you can use (I used Anki so I don't know it as well).

Yes that deck is using content scraped from Kanji Koohii. For you, the users, it may not matter, for me it is a sore point.

As per forum rules:

Quote:Regarding Anki decks & scraped content (Added: July 2015)
Posting decks containing kanji stories scraped from Kanji Koohii! is not allowed on this forum. That is the wish of the developer of Kanji Koohii, who happens to be the admin of this forum. These decks are slowly, but surely driving people away from Kanji Koohii by taking value away from the site, and as the developer of the website, I do not appreciate at all to see such decks blatantly posted on the forum. This also applies to decks containing copyrighted stories from James Heisig!

Sorry about that, I won't put that one up in the future.
*I don't know what you may have done about it that I am not aware of, but would it make sense to contact the deck creator/anki maintainer to ask that it be taken down? Since as far as I know it has been up fairly continuously since I first downloaded it before I even came here. Maybe you've already tried, or would prefer not to try and make someone take down their own deck on a site that isn't here (or it just keeps popping back up a week later), but since they were so "kind" as to post that it came from this site, maybe it's something you might want

One other option that you could do is track down a vocabulary deck with kanji in it and learn that way, where you get familiar with reading the kanji on the first card side, and the second side is the reading. I believe many people do that with the Core Vocabulary decks (which have since been largely taken down), but there are other decks that people make of their own words, such as JLPT decks.

In fact, I might recommend, especially if you want to take the JLPT some day, to just download a kanji deck from there.

@mc962 There would be no point as someone else will put it back up soon after. I think Heisig's publisher has complained in the past about a deck containing their published (ie. copyrighted) set of stories, and another deck was uploaded. I'm not going to lose sleep over it. I just don't want to see these decks posted here.

Here's my new Anki shared deck for RTK writing frames 1–3000. There are no Heisig or RevTK stories included (but you can add your own).

This deck has a rtk_lite_group field so you can study by RTK lite levels (corresponding with Kanji Odyssey 2001 levels 1 and 2). My innovation is including a smaller group 0 based on the CosCom Essential Kanji 200 characters. I learned the kanji starting with group 0, since I wanted to learn basic kanji (like station 駅, frame 2138) as soon as I could.

I'm excited to share this deck and I hope it will help others experiment with RTK lite (and variants thereof). Please post any feedback here.
