Kanji Flashcards

[ciccio8933771]

Hello guys, I need some help about Kanji Flashcard.

I recently started practicing with this exercises and we found them really difficult (even if we tried just the first lessons' one). So, do you have any suggestion? What else or more can we do for better memorizing them?


Thank a lot!

Only my 2 yen tip ( perhaps someone can give you a better advice)
when I began with flashcards I was using only the set Of my book (Minna no nihongo I) adding some new words by myself.
In fact at that time I wasn't able to read nor memorise the flashcards you can easily buy, because of the different structure in kanji level learning ( based on grades used in Japanese School).
It depends on your level; if you are a beginner I think this suggestion can help you.
BTW I wasn't a Jpod subscriber at my very beginning in Japanese learning, so i don't know if the flashcards tool can work at this level.
surely it works now, but I'm an intermediate level. Ganbatte.

You can get much more manageable, flexible, extendable, and portable flashcards on your PC for free. Try reading this explanation about SRS. You really can't hope to manage 2000 kanji flashcards yourself in the same way over the next few years, let alone 10,000+ vocabulary ones. I use the program mentioned in the explanation, but http://smart.fm is also quite popular.

As for learning kanji, if you can handle learning 30 a day, you can get through all 2000 with Heisig's Remembering the Kanji in under three months. Then you can use the above software to begin learning to read them through vocabulary reviews.

Edit: I thought you were talking about paper flashcards, I don't know what the JPod ones are like.
