ok ok... i'm getting frustrated... so i'll spell it out.

Heisig is nothing to do with learning the readings OR the meanings OR speaking japanese overnight.

it's simply... learning the general way to write the characters and how to write them.

then... after you take this knowledge... you turn it into the japanese meanings and learn it that way.

Heisig is the equivalent of turning yourself into a native chinese and learning japanese

you CAN WRITE all 2042 jouyo kanji, and have a general understanding of how they work...

you then take that knowledge and apply it to japanese... therefore.. you'll learn japanese kanji at 500% speed.

It's not an overnight 2000 word vocabulary increase.

it's not superior to learning kanji AND their meanings..

it's simply superior in learning to write all 2042 characters ACCURATELY

AND

get this

AND

Discern them from one another.. so your not confused between similar kanji.

therefore.. makes the whole learning process smooth.. and easier for said person.

i mean. i'm sure i could have people who are ignorant to actually trying the method argue with me until they're blue in the face.

but at the end of the day.

we all learn different.. and this way works for me.
