That's a great response.
It seems like computers can help us do tons of things, but some things it can't do is 1) translate from English to Japanese, or vice-versa and 2) make true kanji learning any easier. The reason why is you need to WRITE the kanji to really get it stapled into your head. I beleive it is faster to WRITE a kanji (using Learning's technique) 100 times, then to take a on-line flash card test 1000 times (which is what it would take to fasten down that synapse).
In this day and age, your opportunity to write kanji (in letters, etc.) is diminished, but the "old-fashioned" learning styles are still the best way to learn.
Use the internet to communicate, find out things, chat, etc... but not to memorize kanji. That is a challenge there is no shortcut to. It's you and your testbook, pen, and paper.
