What should be a 3-post thread is now an argument, and who knows if the OP will ever show up again. Let's all take a deep breath and get off each other's backs.

Have you taken the JLPT by any chance? You'll be approaching the halfway mark in jōyō after a couple hundred more...
See! I told you I suck at Kanji. You know what I mean. lol.

I'm very thankful

It's my response:

"Even though I can't read or write Japanese, things that are written in Japanese are cooler, so my younger brother translated [this] for me."

I can't understand why he write that under his site's logo

but in anyway
thanks to all of you
You are very active

i'm about to start my kanji review for the day....

i have 63 to review and 25 i added last night to see if i can retain.

i'm using heisigs "remembering the kanji"

deffinately worth the money you'll buy it for.

it gets hard at times but be persistant and never give in!

i learn about 15 - 20 kanji a day. and on weekends 25 - 30 if i have more time to devote to it!

i only do kanji about an hour to 2 hours a day! =)

but it doesn't teach you onyomi or kuyomi. but you will be able to recall all kanji from memory in your mother tongue.

i know.. about 676 kanji as of right now. has taken me about 2 months (and that is really slow for heisgs method by the way)

|L.p.

ah i got that too both the blue and red edition, red has readings in it. I also have basic kanji book with 500 kanjis and genki 1, 2 with 300ish. they complement eachother pretty well but i find genki 1 and 2 pretty annoyinh when it comes to grammar...

I've heard heisig's method is extremely controversial. 670 in 2 months, that is extremely fast. I'm interested to find out how did you find the process.

you will recognize allot but wont be able to write it, so you will be able to grasp context, the books have to be combined >.<

What do you mean by recognize. As in you know the character and rough meaning but doesn't know the reading or what it means under context?
