Take the introduction on the site with a grain of salt, as it isn’t very accurate, or is just plain wrong, as is the case with some other areas on the site, but that in no way makes this a bad resource in regards to learning. ![]() Unlike Heisig’s method it also teaches the readings and gives you examples of common words that use those kanji (great for adding them to your Anki deck right away). KanjiDamage - Another kanji resource that uses a radical-based order. Here is a detailed post about the mnemonic system, its advantages, and how to apply it, as well as how to incorporate Anki into it for added effectiveness (note: while this guy recommends using the kanji on the front of the card in Anki on the basis that it is easier, Heisig says, in all caps no less, in his book that reviewing should only ever be done from the keyword the RTK deck in the Cornucopia of Resources has the keyword on the front of the cards, but is otherwise identical to the deck recommended on that page). Read more about it from Koohii wiki or Tae Kim.You’ll also need to follow alongside the book PDF, since the deck does not teach the “primitive” kanji components. There is an Anki deck in the Cornucopia of Resources. Do not use the spaced-repetition-system on Koohii Anki is superior. (Note that some people find that creating their own mnemonic story can form stronger associations than trying to memorize someone else’s.)

Koohii is a fansite that provides pre-made stories for RTK, generally superior to the ones in the book.Of course, you can still start learning vocabulary while doing Heisig. (Most people do not use the second volume and instead learn readings through vocabulary.) As such, this method expects you to learn all the common characters before even getting started on learning vocabulary. It does not teach the readings until the second volume nor does it tell you how the kanji are used in context. It teaches stroke order and makes up pretty fancy mnemonic stories to help you memorize the kanji easier. It starts you off with simple shapes and gradually goes into more complex ones. Remembering the Kanji (RTK) by Heisig - A book that teaches kanji in an order based on the radicals of each character. Kana Warrior - A game designed to help you recognise the kana. Download the book and/or follow this video series made by an RTK forum member. Remembering the Kana - It only takes about 6 hours to learn both hiragana and katakana alongside it because it provides mental images with the kana to ensure you remember. Memrise - Offers various SRS courses including kana courses which are perhaps the only thing the site does well in regards to the Japanese language. ※ Tae Kim - This site has a ton on kana, includes a video lesson, stroke order, as well as a pronunciation guide. ![]() The stroke order is quite useful, although the mnemonics are not so much. Wikibooks - Has stroke order and other resources. Optimal for pounding the readings into your head quickly. The recommended procedure for learning kana. An alternative guide to Japanese with a more direct/opinionated approach can be found here. An old version of the DJT guide can be found here.
