1. Review the expired cards in Anki.
2. Using the book and the mnemonic database on the website, work through 20-25 kanji (or whatever you're comfortable with).
3. Take a short break.
4. Unsuspend those cards in Anki, then review them.
5. Repeat 2-4.
It's important to keep reviewing once a day even after completing the book and to write the kanji (once) when you review them. At this point I usually get around 85-95% correct when I review, which I have heard from others as well (but you might get a bit less at first).
I should also warn you not to trust the stroke orders presented in the book, which for some reason are often wrong. Yamasa Online Kanji Dictionary is a good place to get animated stroke diagrams. |
I've looked through RTK before and I found that it really doesn't help me. especially without the readings, so I bought a Kanji textbook instead that goes into detail on each one.
I do agree with your method of learning though and I already use Anki.
Personally I just write the damn things like 100 times each until it's drilled into my head. That seems to work for me.
Thanks for the comments
