"I would be interested to find out some success stories that don't involve regular flashcard-style reviews." This is a good question. Although I would say that these methods DO work without the need of SRS software. I have used mnemonic methods, general repetition, and 8-4-2-1. I managed to remember a good chunk of Chinese characters, and this was before I discovered ANKI--and before I discovered this great site :D I really like ANKI, especially how I can use it for other studies on my mobile phone :) And because of this I now use ANKI (at home with a sheet of paper) to remind me to write out a phrase or a new character.

I use Anki. On the question side, I have the keyword with my mnemonic, and on the answer side, I have the character. Actually, since I'm modifying a downloaded deck, I don't have one keyword, but lots of them, and the answer side includes the readings.
I'm not done making the flash cards yet – fortunately all I have to do is to copy-paste them from Reviewing the Kanji (that site is gold) into my deck. I estimate I'll need about a week of efficient timeboxing before all the stories are in place. I'm also making mnemonics for 3000 hanzi at the moment, and intend to use the same method there, except that I'll go in order of reading this time (since I already know most of the radicals). I've already discovered a lot of phonetic elements without checking the dictionary. :) Before I learned the method described in RtK, I hated the kanji, but now I like them a lot. They are very interesting. I'd say you don't really need RtK, though. You have the Internet to help you find an order now. I use Wiktionary a lot, because it's so versatile, but I'm sure there are more specialized dictionaries too. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I used Heisig, but a lot of people who don't like it really like Kanji ABC 1 person has voted this message useful | |||
