Really just plow through it (took me three days solid), after that it’s just downhill for a while. I just finished Katakana today (did it in one day!), and it really feels great to click on the next chapter button. After learning Hiragana new words and Kanji just seem to magically stick to my brain.
By the way, welcome aboard and good luck!!!
Welcome, and good luck!
Sadly, It sounds like something I would enjoy XD
Just to get things straight though, you guys would recommend only going through the first book and leaving the readings for later?
It’s really just a convenience thing for me, but it is true that I probably wouldn’t even use the site after a year.
Wow, thanks for all the feedback guys. I think I’m gonna try RTK over my two free months for summer, hit em’ hard and get ‘er done. And KanjiDamage looks pretty darn entertaining, I think that might just be my backup plan. Even if all fails I can still look forward to the wonky TextFugu style of teaching in WaniKani. Thanks for the help :D
Edit: And I completely agree with KanjiMan… Monthly payments are my arch-nemesis. Yearly is kinda better maybe? But I really don’t see why they can’t just do forevah.

Try making an Anki deck, maybe not exactly what you’re looking for, but probably will help in the long run. Anki has a phone app too (not sure if it’s for the droid, and a bit pricey ($25), but it looks really solid).
Edit: Just wanted to add one thing i just found out. It turns out there is a free and open source version of Anki on droid called AnkiDroid (I know Who’da Thunk). Seriously worth checking out.

You mean when I learn the words later on (via TextFugu and other scources) I can use them with the kanji?
Hmmm… seems like a good idea. If I could get 2000 done in 2 months that would be golden. I was wondering something though, just looking through the first book (found it in pdf format for free?) and it only seems to be teaching you the meanings of all the kanji, not how to say them… am I missing something? Or is that in book two?
There’s a whole section in chapter 2 dedicated to numbers, just finished with it. Though if you’re not past that point yet I would recommend doing all the previous chapters beforehand. Cheers!
Hmmm… that site looks promising too, but is the RTK people are refering too Remembering the Kanji or Read the Kanji???
Although, I do feel stupid now.
Well I can see your point too, heh. Never heard of RTK, but I’ll look into it. I’m all for trying new things, I guess that’s all I’m really exited for. I just want to get my petootie into high gear and study. I’m only in chapter two, but I could see how them dedicating their time to something else might be frustrating.
Really thus far, I’ve only been reading to interpret form Japanese to English. But I find it very hard to recall Japanese words when reading the English version… is there any way to train that?
Oooh… I looked at the review section… Anki for ios looks especially tasty, but I really don’t think i could shell out $25 bucks for it. At that point I’d most likely go for a subscription at Gakuu.com ($20) or wait for WakiKani to happen ($?, anyone have a quote yet?). Or maybe I’m wrong, has anyone tried Anki for the I-pod yet?
Ah, Thanks. Good to know that there’s still respectable freeware out there.
