i hate kanji XD

I have more of a love hate relationship with it.
But I have also heard that "Remembering the Kanji" was a good book for learning kanji. I usually go to www.thejapanshop.com to get all my textbooks and such. They have a WIDE variety of kanji books, I got my genki books from there.

I like to use Tuttle's Kanji and Kana Revised Edition.

I've heard that the second volume of the "Remembering the Kanji" series (which is for reading) isn't necessarily revolutionary or better than other kanji books (it just groups the kanji by readings, not giving you all the readings for one kanji at once). The main point Heisig has, it seems, is to remember readings by example vocabulary, which other books suggest as well. I've heard that "Kanji in Context" is pretty good for reading.

I like RTK2... Other kanji books don't group the readings by phonetic markers. I really had a lot of trouble learning on-readings until I used RTK2. I only needed to go through half the book, then everything was so much easier. I just entered the words into the flashcard program Mnemosyne.

sounds like a good program. Mnemosyne was a greek goddess, and her name means memory.....

sorry, i just learned this in mythology class, i thought it was cool. :B
