Hello there.
I have created a page where you can create practice and test pages for yourself.
Just jump to:
http://rtk.semuel.co.il/
And go to the auto-generator.
You can:
- create pages for any range of charecters,
- mix them all together, mix every page or not without any mix.
well, have fun.
Shmuel.

I'm sorry, but I don't have the kanji above 2024.
(and even that list I got from the owner of this site)
If you have such a list, I can easily add it to the current list.
(text, excel or any other readable format)
About removing the page number, it's a great idea. will do it. will post in this thread when it's done.
Shmuel.
Just found a link in Leitner's webpage to yours. It looks great! I'm sure I'll make good use of it. Haven't really had a chance yet but will be pleased to update you when I have a few weeks experience.
One thing I miss on Leitner's webpage and apparently yours is any method for testing knowledge of the primitives. I believe it would be helpful if I could practice on a separate page of primitives. For example, if a primitive is used for the first time in frame #48, then it might be referred to as #47a. There might be a #47b too. I need to think about this some more. One complexity might be that some primitives have more than one meaning.
Anyway, I greatly appreciate your work and your decision to make it available to all.
As a matter of reference, I'm up to frame 554, 77 years old and keeping my brain stimulated by learning Japanese instead of working crossword puzzles. And I don't yet have Heisner's Kanji I because it's out of print and I don't want to pay $200 for in on ebay. Maybe that's why I'm having primitive problems. Kanji I is on the way, though, from back order. Maybe I'll get it next week.
Best to you

Hi Richcoop, and welcome.
Just found a link in Leitner's webpage to yours
Which "Leitner's" webpage is that?
And I don't yet have Heisner's Kanji I because it's out of print and I don't want to pay $200 for in on ebay. Maybe that's why I'm having primitive problems.
Yes, definitely get the RtK book when you can. Get the primitives solidly down, as they are the foundation of the method, and you will benefit from Heisig's insights, as well as all his notes/stories for the first 512 kanji.

Hi All! It's nice to see that people are actually using that page.

Is it possible to add a feature to only generate the keywords and not the solutions? Thank you!
I don't think it's a good idea - another option will only serve to confuse the users. please generate whatever you need, and just don't print the pages with the kanjis.

Hmm.. no. it make no sense to test this. by practicing the kanji you practice everything that included in them, including the primitives.
plus, it's damn hard to implement. (instead of adding charecters, I will have to paint them, one by one. brrr...)

Actually, I would appreciate testing primitives on this site as well: often when testing a recent lesson, I find that I can remember the primitives in the stories but fail to recall how to write the actual primitive.
If my brief glimpse at RtK Vol. 3 is any indicator, a good amount of the primitives already exist as standalone characters, thus making it easier to test them: just change the keyword and somehow add it to the index. The others, however, would probably require an actual picture and thus be somewhat problematic to add.

Hi Richcoop, and congratulations, I hope you will keep on your studies for a long time.
I'm afraid that you are a bit confused, Sebastian Leitner was a German who created the spaced repetition system, which Fabrice gently used to create this site for learning Kanji. So, Fabrice (ファブリス) is the creator of this site -correct me if I'm wrong- and Sebastian Leitner has nothing to do with it.
By the way, this forum is part of the site you refer to -pay attention to it and compare it to the address shown right now on your internet browser, which is something like http://forum.koohii.com/post.php?tid=554&qid=blablabla

Thanks for the tool, Semuel!
I have two simple suggestions for new features.
1) allow the set of kanji to be specified in more
detail than a single range. E.g.: "44,51-53,60-80"
2) add a flag that will reverse (right-to-left)
the locations of the kanji from the locations of
the keywords. Then, if you print out double-sided
on thick paper, the page can be cut up and used
as flashcards.
Cheers,

hey semuel! the tool looks great. i have been swamped latley, and havent have time to use it yet, but i plan to start soon. i do have one request. my principal reason for wanting to use your pages is to improve my handwriting. (its great to be able to write 2000 kanji, but if your handwriting sucks, japanese people will just laugh at you; also its really rewarding when you write something that looks kind of right) 
so, with that in mind, do you think you could add a feature to but in a box for each kanji to write them in? i dont think it would be that hard.. like ideally it would be like a box, with dotted vertical and horizontal lines.
anyways, even if you dont add this i plan on using your pages! thanks a bunch for the hard work...

Hi all - I'm back.
Yatsuzaki - no, it's up. I use it (almost) dayly. It may be down from time to time (the server is not very rialible) but generally it is up.
skylarth - Great idea, those kanji boxs. I implemented them. hope they work for you
bendyarm - hmmm.. nice, but I don't think that I will implement it on the web. maybe I'll create a standalone version that give the user ability to manage his own list and produce his own test pages. maybe not.
Shmuel.
