Well, I decided to start composing stories right away. A question came up as soon as I started; let's say I'm doing the story for the On yomi 'ni', would I...
Hi Jean, All of the books I've studied with look at the entire reading of the on-yomi, not each syllable. Remember, a syllable is not a reading, and I think it...
Hi Jr, Yes, of course it would be preferable to keep stories uniform, but the question was more what to do with those kanji whose onyomi is unique? For...
... Why not create a singles bar for all the kanji that have only one reading? I certainly wouldn't associate niku (meat) with ni (two) because they share...
1. I agree that you should you use the whole onyomi. 2. I actually have my singles floating around town. I figured there was no real advantage to putting them...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone uses the Supermemo program to review kanji using the Heisig method? If so, can you describe how you use it / structure your...
Hi Angcrust, I just started using Supermemo. I have done nothing but research so far. To be honest with you, on the down side it's hard to figure out (I expect...
Yes, that translator is bad :) I never did Latin at school, I didnt know it was so hard to translate. Even Google won't find a match for "valeant benefici" ...
"Valeant benefici, Poenas dent malefici!" My Latin is VERY, very basic, but some idea: Valeant = they who perservere benefici = the good ones Poenas dent =...
"Valeant" and "dent" are subjunctives, so I think that it would go more like: Let/may those who do good be strong; let/may those who do evil pay the penalty. ...
Hi, Can someone clarify the sequence for learning kanji using the Heisig method? It seems to be: - Learn the writing and one English meaning of each kanji...
Hey angcrust, I'll have a (short) stab at it then : The sequence is as you put it, though book 2 is not absolutely necessary. Beyond RTK1+2 you have a huge...
Fabrice, I found the book Remembering the Kana by Heisig priceless. It took me minimal time to learn the kana and after minimal practice, they now come...
Heisig has remember the kana books that give each char a keyword. 'a' is otter. 'no' is no parking sign, etc. They are broken into primatives the same as...
When I first started learning Japanese I decided that I didn't want to spend weeks learning the kana via the rote memorization approach, so I bought Heisig's...
Thanks for the links. I knew about his book on Kana, I was hesitant though. I thought maybe there's no need to go to the same length as the system for the...
Hi, I haven't finished Volume I yet, but I received Volume II in the mail and looked at it for a while. And I was kind of confused about how exactly you are...
Hello All, Hope your studies are going well. I have been plugging along nicely with RTK I. Doing well but I have come upon an interesting problem. I live in...
Hi Charles, In the future, after you finish book 1 and start learning kanji-compound type vocabulary, not knowing the exact keyword could present a small...
Hi Charles, I think James Heisig downplayed the sightreading part: the kanji-to-keyword recall doesn't "take care of itself" as easily as Heisig suggests. But...
Just curious, Has anyone here tried the "Heisig-like" book, "Kanji ABC"? It presents all the parts up front and divides both the parts and their related Kanji...
I use Kanji ABC and prefer it to Heisig's. It's quite a different system, though. Or rather, it's not really a learning system--it doesn't overtly teach you to...
Judging from what I've read about Kanji ABC (from Amazon), it seems that all the readings are given only in romaji. I guess this isn't a huge deal, but don't...
Actually, I have been using this book, too, which is why I inquired about other people's opinions. I have had more success with "KanjiABC" than I have had with...
