I've posted a topic on this before, but since I'm completely lost I'm afraid I have to post another one. I've finished RTK 1, and I've been going through the forum to find what to do next. After a lot of searching I finally stumbled upon Nukemarine's guide. This is what it says for beginners :
1. Hiragana and Katakana (done)
2. RTK (done)
3. Tae Kim clozed delete deck
4. Core2k
Now my main question is this - he doesn't elaborate on what order you should do this in. Is Tae Kim supposed to be done before Core2k, after Core2k or along with it? In addition, I tried using the Tae Kim deck for the first basic grammar chapter and I have absolutely no clue HOW to review it. With RTK it was quite straightforward - you have a key word and you should write out the kanji based on that. However with the Tae Kim deck I had no idea what to do. To add to my misery, the clozed delete thing completely baffled me, just what are you supposed to type in that input box? The same applies to Core2k, how are you supposed to start with the deck without any sort of learning beforehand? In RTK, you learnt a certain number of kanji from the book and then added them to Anki, but I have no clue what to do with Tae Kim and Core2k.
So to avoid this becoming a wall of text, all I want is an 'Idiot's Guide' on how to use Anki for Tae Kim and Core2k. It would also be helpful to know how to study Tae Kim. Do you read through all the 8 beginners chapters and then review, or do you read one chapter a day and add the relevant flashcards to Anki? I'm sorry if these questions seem trivial to some of you, but as an absolute beginner I want to make sure that I'm progressing with my Japanese studies in a proper manner.
