best file to d/l for memorizing kanji in "anki" pr

Postby dudnaito » October 9th, 2009 10:54 pm

there are so many options, i was wondering which would be best for a beginner/intermediate level. I can write about 500 kanji, but only know their meanings and such individually... haven't yet memorized too many words (combination of kanji) and their kanji counterparts.

I'm not quite sure what the question is. I think you're trying to learn kanji using Anki.

Why don't you make your own Anki deck, instead of downloading someone else's? Perhaps you could try to start reading something - a newspaper, a manga, a novel, anything! - and any words that you don't recognise, look them up in a dictionary and put them into Anki. That way, you will learn the words and kanji that are most useful to you, and if you type the whole sentence into Anki, you will also learn the context in which they are used.

(This, by the way, is a similar technique to that recommended by the polyglot US chatshow host Barry Farber, and also the alljapaneseallthetimewebsite.)
