Kanji Koohii Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Japanese kanji

  Wrong subreddit for serious questions … But anyway, you can use https://kanji.koohii.com/, especially when f you want to also be able to write kanji. Source: 11 months ago

• Focusing on one aspect of the language at a time

  You don't need to try to pick up the language (study/learn), your brain does that automatically when you surround yourself in it for periods of time. Studying only facilitates how fast this absorption process goes. As others people have mentioned doing Kanji drills writing it out is very time inefficient and there's ways to do it in 1/20 of the time. For example RTK what you're doing now has a app developed as a... Source: 11 months ago

• Why does it seem that sexual references are the best way to study vocab?

  Https://kanji.koohii.com/ itself btw collapses all offensive mnemonics by default, so you only seethe clean ones. So if you like the general idea but not the specific mnemonics, you can directly use the website instead of an Anki deck. Source: 11 months ago

• asking for RTK app recommendations beside Anki

  It uses the cards you set up on https://kanji.koohii.com/. Source: 12 months ago

• Tips to overcome (early) intermediate slump?

  Did not do a deck, had the book and used https://kanji.koohii.com/ to help with retention. Source: 12 months ago

• Mnemonics are amazing

  Yeah, I loved using Mnemonics when learning kanji. I used a website called Remember the Kanji (https://kanji.koohii.com/) based off a book called Remembering the Kanji. It doesn't teach you all the readings, but it does teach how to write each one and a relatable keyword in English. Did all the standard kanji in about 3 months and could "understand" written Japanese (even if I couldn't read it) and then I just... Source: 12 months ago

• Can you learn N3 for 50 days?

  If you're able to sit down 30-60 mins a day with the Kanji you should be able to learn most of what you need in 50 days. I can recommend kanji koohii or using the app called Anki for cramming kanji. You might need to look up a guide how to get started. Source: 12 months ago

• Growing frustrated with my inability to speed-read.

  I’ve found RTK to be really useful for leveling up and breaking the barrier to reading, but I’d recommend not wasting time by making any cards. There’s a free SRS over at https://kanji.koohii.com and you can make notes for how you’ve modified keywords- it won’t be perfect, but you can run through it pretty quickly. You can mark the cards you know as ‘easy’ so they won’t come back around as often. Stroke order will... Source: about 1 year ago

• I suck at memorizing vocab, looking for an alternate approach

  For kanji, I use two kinds of cards. First I make a card with vocab, ok you are doing this. Second, I made a kanji card. Kanji cards are like, kanji in front, keyword in back. I get a story with it from https://kanji.koohii.com. Source: about 1 year ago

• Resources for learning Kanji

  Or the websites wanakani (not free) or https://kanji.koohii.com/ (requires you understand some simple theory of what you are doing based on RTK). Source: about 1 year ago

• How can I continue learning offline?

  It is not for everyone - but you can see the essential in a preview on Amazon so you can see the process and the initial Kanji. As you pass to part 2 - he stops hand holding after a few hundred Kanji and the last half is just the elements unless a new one is introduced. https://kanji.koohii.com/ is a good companion but if you rely too much on community stories to learn the Kanji you may have retention problems or...

• If you were to start learning Japanese all over again, from scratch, would you do anything different? Or would you just repeat the same process that got you here?

  RTK - Remember the Kanji by Heisig. Use https://kanji.koohii.com/ if you wish. Free and great SRS wth community stories. (SRS is Spaced Repetition System, basically Anki). Source: about 1 year ago

• Anyone has the RRTK1250 deck with stories?

  If you want to change or add more community-shared stories, just consult https://kanji.koohii.com/ or https://hochanh.github.io/rtk/. Source: about 1 year ago

• issues I'm facing with kanji

  Look at Heisig’s Remembering the Kanji (you can read the first bit online for free and see if it’s a fit) and the free SRS, https://kanji.koohii.com. Source: about 1 year ago

• WaniKani User Survey

  RTK is not either - but many of its users have sites like https://kanji.koohii.com/ which they use to study. I did RTK 1 and took its methods forward beyond its 2200. RTK 3 covers up to roughly 3000 Kanji but I think only a fraction of people follow through with that one (not me either). WaniKani and RTK are like rivals - though RTK is 3 months expected to finish the Joyo - the readings come later being the... Source: about 1 year ago

• My language learning journey: English, German, Japanese and Spanish.

  I started off learning katakana and hiragana. I studied the symbols and wrote them down on a piece of paper every day. It took me almost a month since I couldn’t dedicate a lot of time each day, but I eventually got it. After that, I learned kanji with “Remembering the Kanji” by James W. Heisig on this website: https://kanji.koohii.com/. Source: about 1 year ago

• Fastest way to get to N1

  -For kanji, I recommend the book RTK ("remembering the kanji"). It is a book designed to teach the shape of the 2000 most common kanji by little stories. There is a community in the kanji koohii website (https://kanji.koohii.com/) regrouping people that study the same book so you'll find plently of advice and good stories over there.

• RTK is not working for me - any alternatives?

  You have to use https://kanji.koohii.com because, it has crowdsourced mnemonics which are better. Source: about 1 year ago

• Am I wasting my time by doing this?

  If you do RTK use https://kanji.koohii.com/ It is the best way to learn the kanji by associating a keyword to the symbol. You learn how they are made up, so you recognize differences. Wanikani is an alternative that is popular, but I have never used it - same concept different teaching method. Source: about 1 year ago

• Anki 2k/6k is extremely difficult?

  It's also nice to know there's a few kinds of kanji: ones that are picture representations of something like 木 kanji is a picture of a tree, one's that are 2 symbols combined for a new meaning like 明 sun and moon combine for "bright", ones that are symbolic of concepts like something drawn over something else for "above' 上, and ones where a phonetic part of the kanji came from it's pronunciation at some point...
