Can any Kanjidamage users help me out?

Name: Anonymous 2011-08-05 7:05

OK, so, I've just finished learning my kana and want to go onto kanji. Heisig was good but a touch too dull for my liking, so I'm going to try out Kanjidamage.

All I'd like to know is, what exactly do I learn? Just the mnemonic/keyword, or the kunyomi, jukugo, etc.?

It just seems like an overwhelming amount to learn for each one the first time through, and I'd like to know how others who have used it went about it.

Thanks.

Fair enough, guy, you just sounded like you were frustrated about it. Admittedly >>36 should not give up that easily.

Personally I'm sticking with Kanjidamage - mainly because I do enjoy most of the mnemonics anyway (though I do mix and match with my own) - really, though, I don't think most of us can honestly say we can be bothered to make up our own mnemonics for 2000~ kanji.

Also, readthekanji.com looks pretty good, but 'kanji, vocab, structure grammar, English translation, onyomi, kunyomi, stroke order, common words, and usage all at once' sounds pretty overwhelming for a first runthrough - which is basically OP's problem, I think. Also most of us, me in included, are cheap fucks anyway.

Personal preference. Tried Heisig for a month, was going OK, then just preferred Kanjidamage. It's the same in principle of course, but I just preferred how it was laid out.
