My name is Virginia and I have been to Japan a number of times and have been very impressed by how appreciative the Japanese people are when I have made an attempt to speak the little Japanese I know from several courses in grad school and self-study using Rosetta Stone. I would like to go back soon and have promised myself that before I do I will be MUCH better at Japanese! (I also get really stressed out going into a bookstore in Japan and not knowing what anything says – Kanji has seemed to be a huge stumbling block for me and TextFugu holds the promise that it’s not impossible to learn and won’t take forever to learn, either!)
Welcome to TextFugu!
Kanji are you friend. SRS is your friend. Introduce them to each other and things will happen.
がんばって！
Hello, Virginia and coclans, nice to meet you. Just started TF, myself.
Welcome to TextFugu!
It sounds like you would be a good candidate for WaniKani. It’s a separate system developed by Koichi that solely focuses on Kanji. It works like a game with 50 levels. Most of the Kanji taught in TextFugu are covered in the first 10 levels, so there’s a heap more and it’s even better than using Anki.
You’ll find a link to it with a discount on the dashboard:

You have to sign up for the site and they will send you an invite to join. The first 2 levels are free.
Also check out this guide for using Anki 2 with TextFugu:
