As I've been reviewing the 1st 1000 kanji, it keeps occuring to me that most of these kanji I don't really need to practice. At first I thought it was just the...
got this error while being tested on the kanji Warning: array_shift(): The argument should be an array in /home/faburisu/public_html/kanji/review.php on line...
Hi macj This happens after 20 min of inactivity on the reviewing section, your 'session' expires. You don't have to restart anything, all the flashcards you...
Hi Scott, I am at 450 kanjis so far and reviewing the primitives several times really help me nail them down. I guess at your level it might be different and I...
Hi Fabrice, I don't know if you got the mail I sent you but again hats off for the fantastic job you are doing with your website ;) It is really helpful for...
Hi tatoeba, thanks, I just checked and I did receive an email from you (in french right?), and I replied on 19/09, but your reply-to address was 'tatoeba AT...
I am sorry Fabrice I must have missed it. Can you send it again to my email with '2' in it? Thanks a lot and thanks again for making Heisig's Kanjis a little...
I've been in Japan about four years now. I bought RTK1 almost as soon as I got here and zipped through part one. In part 2 where he only gave the plots I did...
Hi Rizzo, Just to let you know.. You're not alone.. :) When I had the time, I was able to finish up to 700++ kanji in about 2-3 months.. But during the last...
I'll add my "me too". I bought RTK1 in August 2004. Over the course of 2 or 3 months I made it through section 1...then stalled out. I didn't touch RTK for at...
Wish I could help, the first stall for me was Chapter 3, at first I thought it was just too hard to make stories. I still do. There are times of the day I just...
Making primatives into people is one of the best tricks I've learned. When you did it with shrek and fingers I thought it was pretty silly but now that I've...
Thanks Fabrice for taking the time to write such a long and detailed explanation on the memorization process. You are really helping us a lot! tatoeba...
As I'm racing to try and get back up through the old Kanji from my previous attempts I'm finding the plots section the most tedious. Too often the "plot"...
Hmmm. I usually avoid trying to explain the Heisig method to Japanese since to many it seems so backwards. (And for them I'm sure it is). But last night my...
Hi rizzo something interesting here is that Heisig might have well used the happy primitive for "accomplished", and add "one", passing through the vertical...
I'll echo that thanks. I'm about to start reviewing the first 650 in order to move on with Book 1, and plan to incorporate your tips into the learning process....
Okay then, this sheep had ATTAINED/ACCOMPLISHED/REALIZED the peak of "Pocky" (tm) stick detection. You see, this sheep was raised on a diet of Pocky(tm)...
Hmmm actually my wife was not leading me so far astray after all. After a second glance I discovered 'happiness' as a Heisig keyword for kanji #1505 and in...
Take care that "spicy" (a chinese radical) + "one" to make a cross shape at the top of spicy, is 8 strokes (that is, HAPPINESS is 8 strokes). "sheep" + "soil",...
... It reminds me of a SNES game I used to play: Pocky & Rocky. There's even a Wikipedia page about it. (Is there anything left that's _not_ in Wikipedia? :)) ...
... Oops you're right. It seems that everytime I look at these kanji again I realize another mistake. Though it turns out that the Pocky my wife was is the...
Frame 586 is given the keyword "-times". I found in my notes however, the word "merry-go-round" scrawled in the margin and it seems to me to be a fine...
Merry-go-round sounds good, you'll have to use something else than Heisig's hint on frame 1046. 1046 is "rotation" but merry-go-round is closer to the idea of...
I get the impression that almost everyone else has finished. Is there anyone in the group just starting out or better yet near my position? (I'm just starting...
I'm about halfway in RTK1. After I finish this I'll have only around 20+ days to prepare for 2Q test. It's obvious that I don't have enough time to make it...
Hey rizzo, I used to be your neighbor at 652, but didn't pay the rent for a few weeks and now I have to move back to a less prestigious part of town. I'm...
... Rizzo, thanks for the invitation via my blog at <a href="http://www.zanthan.com/ japan">nipponDAZE</a>. Earlier this year I made it to 1000 kanji, but then...
