For many people, Kanji are a pain. But I just want to learn more and more.
I have came up with a new method. I use this site which lists all the Kanji for each radical. http://dearbooks.cafe.coocan.jp/kotoba03.html For each radical I observe at the Kanji which are not include in the Joyo list, I judge their importance according to the vocabulary associated with each given Kanji and then I add them to my list and learn them. For example, for the 女 radical for example, there are the following kanji. 女奴奸好妁如妃妄妓妍妝妥妊妣妨妙妖委姑妻 姉始姐妾姓妲妬姆妹姨威姻娃姶姦姜姿姙姪姥 姚娟娥姫娯娑娘娠娜娚娉娩婀婬婉婚娵娶娼婆 婢婦婪婁媛婿嫂媒媚媼嫁嫌媾嫉嫋嫐媽嫣嫦嫡 嫩嫖嫗嫺嫻嬉嬌嬋嬢嬖嬰嬬嬲嬪嬶嬾孃孅孀 I look through them and choose all the important one and learn them grouped together. Then I start again with another radical. Does anyone else do anything like this? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Remembering the Kanji (which I'm using at the moment) uses something very similar to this. Only it doesn't just teach you the 'important' ones, it teaches you all 2000 joyo. It's also incredibly easy. If you haven't picked it up, I highly suggest you do. Most people agree, it's almost a miracle, for people who want to learn the kanji.

Oh, I have already learned the Joyo Kanji list. I now just want to add a thousand or so Kanji more which seem useful. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Hm, I think Heisig has a book for those who want to do just that. It assumes that you have mastered the ~2000 Joyo kanji and teaches about a thousand more kanji for upper level reading/writing. Here's the link to it on Amazon:

Remembering the Kanji 3?
There's also the 人名用漢字 (kanji used for names). Then there's always the 日本漢字能力検定試験 (Japanese Kanji Aptitude Test). Level 1 tests knowledge of 6000 kanji. Here's a spreadsheet with all of those kanji listed by level. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

If you type the link like this: [url]http://www.whatever.com[/url] ...you get this: http://www.amazon.com/Remembering-Kanji-Characters-Upper-Lev el-Proficiency/dp/0824831675/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid= 1250084898&sr=8-3 The spaces only appear in the displayed text -- the actual clickable link should be correct.
