Helsig’s RTK and I.
Remembering the Kanji (RTK) isn’t a great accompaniment if you are first studying Japanese, especially if you are new to Kanji and are being taught specific ones with your course. However, I find that RTK has been invaluable in strengthening my kanji now that I am around the 700 or so mark.
I am studying Kanji in different ways simultaneously at the moment. One of them happens to be Helsig’s Remembering the Kanji. The other is in conjunction with my course’s kanji requirements) I decided to start after already having learnt 700 or so Kanji required for intermediate level Japanese. Although I should know more than 700, it’s not all 100% learnt.
So, I’ve been doing RTK for a few weeks now, doing a bit everyday very consistently. I make sure to review the stories everyday without fail even when I don’t add new ones.
One of the problems I faced with memorising kanji in compounds is that, often I don’t connect any meaning to the individual kanji. I just learnt it and drilled them in flashcards. If I didn’t flashcard for a week, it’d be forgotten. So for compounds like 両親、I just learn the compound as it without looking up on/kun readings or even their individual meanings. In retrospect, that was a silly way to go about it. It brought me to intermediate level Japanese though (thank you brain) so I’ve been doing okay with just memorising kanji in compounds.
Until now. (I went on holiday and didn’t touch Anki for three weeks, I opened up Anki and didn’t know ANYTHING being shown to me)
This is why I’ve been using RTK, I like that it isn’t giving me the kanji to learn in the order I learnt them up till now, so half of it is new to me so far (I’m at around 200 or so right now). However, I’m already seeing benefits.
Kanji compounds I’ve constantly forgotten are now becoming a lot easier to remember. I’m also able to recognise the meaning of kanji I’ve never seen before like: Illegitimate child 私生児 (しせいじ）. The first two kanji I know, the last one came up in RTK (baby). The author of the book I’m reading mentioned adultery shortly followed by this word. It was pretty easy to get the meaning from context! I was shocked. Thank you Helsig!
