It’s pretty interesting, I should start learning as well. I’m actually more worried about Hiraganas and Katakanas since I’m Chinese >.>

Anyway, best of luck to you, seems like you’re doing great. Kanji really is a pain to learn =/

I’ve been learning with them since last year casually (listening when I drive only) :)

ah, nice get with the white rabbit press flashcards. personally i have their level 2 kanji set and it’s really nice. i’m totally behind for the level 2 jlpt though (which i signed up for this year… and is 2 months away orz)

unfortunately anime and manga don’t really align very well with the jlpt vocab lists. ^^;;

がんばってね！　皆も日本語を勉強しましょうよ！

I know a friend that bought flash cards too. He says that it’s a lot easier to learn quickly through this method. Often times, I’d wish that I knew Japanese so that I could play some JP games and maybe even live in Japan. I guess I’ll never get there unless I actually put in the effort and time to learn it.

Good luck with your studies! As a matter of fact, I should probably be working on my studies as well. I can read kana easily enough (moette nani? I think that’s what it said), but kanji takes a lot of work to memorize. I’m currently subscribed to Yokoso’s Kanji-a-Day mailing list which has helped a little, but I’m still looking for other alternatives to actually going to class. I’ll be checking out the links kahm provided in a moment ;P

That’s great that you’re trying to learn kanji lu-k ^^. I myself am studying Japanese now in college, I learn about 20 kanji every 2 weeks along with grammar and vocabulary. It’s not easy remembering all the kanji, I hear you only need to know the most common, roughly about 2000. If you keep practicing you will remember each and every one ^^. I remember roughly 200 right now :P. It definitely helps when you’re trying to read Japanese websites and manga xD. Good luck.

For the beginning Japanese learner, I suggest checking out alljapaneseallthetime.com

The method he suggests starts with learning the kanji the easy way – based on Heisig’s “Remembering the Kanji” you use an SRS program like Anki (http://ichi2.net/anki/) and the “Reviewing the Kanji” (http://kanji.koohii.com/index.php) site.

It’s far easier and more efficient than flashcards.
