Quote:Is it a good idea to learn kanji and sentences at once?"

Thanks for the advice. It just feels like all I do in a day of Japanese study is just kanji. I will review kanji then add new ones and that is it. It seems very "empty" the way I am going about things. After I am done reviewing kanji it is like, "Ok, what now? What else could I be doing that is going to be productive towards my Japanese".

Not to criticize you or anything, but the best way to find these things out is to do. Like, go out there and try a million different things and find what works. Maybe you'll find out a way to incorporate RTK and Japanese studies into the same thing or something, who knows. But asking advice on a forum on what you should do or if something is a good idea is just... let's just say that Edison didn't ask if the light bulb was a good idea before going out and doing so (and then it took how many screw ups?).

But, as they say, no sense reinventing the lightbulb....or....whatever. ;-)
After all, what's the point of the various methods and blogs if not to stand on the shoulders of giants...?

Giants... sounds scary...

On a less troll-esque note the answer to that question is....

To take what you need and become a giant yourself .
