@divexo -
You usually learn Hiragana before Katakana. The tae Kim grammar guide has the charts for both...and there are plenty of online resources for quizzing yourself and learning stroke order. RTK assigns a meaning to each kanji. After you know the meaning you use KO to study the reading of the most frequently used kanji first. You can start reading native material a lot faster that way. If reading is your goal, then the method above would probably work pretty good for you. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Oh awesome thanks.
Will definitely do RTK, and then KO as according to the site it says after getting down the four levels one can read most of the kanji in newspapers.. Seems quite exciting, though I would do easier books afterwards. What happens when one encounters a kanji they don't know? It seems difficult for one to look it up on the internet from a book? 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

@Divexo -
This is Sage's learning log so I don't want to seem like we're taking over it. However, to quickly answer your question, you look up kanji by their stroke order number and by their radical group. I think if you don't have any questions specifically for Sage74, then you should probably start a new topic elsewhere - you would get lots more people to view your question too!! 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

WOW, alot of replies @_@. It's been a while since I last updated. Overall things have
gone well, I was able to read RTK until the end, but I didn't enter those kanji in my SRS, so it will take a while to really "finish" . The last few Kanji aren't that easy, and I have to go over alot of due kanji as well. I already learned hiragana and katakana a few years ago through practice and repetition. I know about Tae Kims grammar guide and I will try to use it effectively. I don't know much about KO sentences though. I'll look into it in the next few weeks. I already have a basic Grammar understanding, I just haven't studied it in a while. I've only really focused on Kanji. Coming up I'll focus on cementing the rest of RTK, then move on Vocab and grammar. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Still studying RTK for now, and reading Slam Dunk in Japanese. I need to improve grammar and vocab though.

I feel like I've been saying this forever lol. I started RTK back in August of 2009, did like 500, stopped. Started again Dec 2009, got to around 500 and stopped. Now, I'm in 1800s, but I have nearly 700 cards suspended in my SRS deck (school forces me to not study everyday, and kanji is the easiest to forget.) I hope you don't end up like I did lol. Anyway, Christmas break is around the corner, and I actually need the kanji to be done, so I'll stop being a softy and finally finish it.
