The characters in these files are *clear* and *easy to read*. If you cannot read them, it means that you do not know them at all. You say you`ve done 400. Well, then you should definitely know most of those in the pdfs - especially as they appear to be in order of frequency. Common sense says that you should have studied these first.
If there are a handful which you are unable to read, that is one thing. But no, you`re asking for these entire lists to be typed up again so that you can do a copy+paste. Doesn`t sound much like a dedicated student to me.

If there are specific kanji you are having a problem with, ask about those. While I don`t mind helping people, I DO mind typing out their "homework" for them.
No, they're not clear/easy to read. In fact some of them simply look like blobs! Yes that's the problem, I don't know all of the kanji in that list. If I did know them I'd recognise them with much more success I'm sure, but I need to know what they are to learn them efficiently without going through all 2042 Heisig kanji! Are you familiar with the Heisig method? I've done the first 400 from there (well, just under 400), no more. That doesn't mean I know the 400 most frequently used.

Fantastic, thank you so very, very much for those, that's so much help . I'm going to post this thread on another forum too to see if I can get help there.

Ok, so my little contribution is the ones you asked about from the 5 strokers.

号: ごう As in 番号(ばんごう)(Number)
写:しゃ As in 写真(Photo)
冬:ふゆ(Winter)
Thank you very much too ^_^ , yours and Natty's generosity is much appreciated!

I did discover a cool feature on my home computer where I can draw with my mouse the rough shape of a kanji and it brings up a list of options of ones it could be ! I'm going to have a try with it when I get home tonight.

I can offer maths help if anyone would like that in exchange for the rest of the kanji? I'm teaching calculus 5, and statistics 1/2 to seniors in high school this year, so I'm more than happy to help out with those.
