Thanks for the response and I'm glad to hear of others' success with this. I am using the mnemonics that he provides to help me with remembering them, but I am using Wakan as a supplement to get the readings, definition, example sentences, etc. I made some flash cards last night before going to bed, and in the morning, I was able to remember what all 25 of them were using his methods (which I think is amazing). So, I am using his methods for memorizing stroke orders and his fun stories about them to help me retain them in my memory.

Thanks for all of the replies, and I hope I can continue to benefit from RTK!
