Reviewing the Kanji

Reviewing the Kanji is a website designed to assist people using the Heisig method to study the 2000 or so Joyo kanji. Register on the site and you have access to your own set of online Heisig kanji cards to which you can add your own stories. The "share this story" option gives you examples of stories other people have come up with - a good way to kick your brain into gear if you get stuck coming up with a story. For example, for the kanji 重　which has the Heisig keyword 'heavy':

The first computer in the world was as heavy as thousand computers are now.

This is the latest in technology from Macrosoft : a machine nicknamed "heavy duty". Capable of dealing with heavy load computations, it is made of one thousand computers linked together. You may picture it as a big cube, the inside made of 10 x 10 x 10 computers.

Easy to use, accessible anywhere you can get online plus warm fuzzy joy of sharing feeling.
Reviewing the Kanji is based upon the Leitner Cardfile System.

very pretty nicely designed site, but more or less useless. i mean if your goal is to be a chinese person who doesnt know japanese, or a tattoo artist that can acurately identify the correct character to the girl who wants devil on her ass, then its perfect. i have way to many friends that study this way and all they can read on the train is that word of four kanji means jealousy-water-carry-screen, if that seems like a useful skill this website is the best of its kind.

@ justin : first off, the website doesn't claim to teach anything, it's designed to help review what is learned with James W. Heisig's book "Remembering the Kanji".

Secondly, James Heisig's method is far from useless!

This topic has been debated over and over :

justin you're a piece of shit man !
just trying to deter anyone bold enough to really tackle with kanjis ... this methos has countless instance of people having reached real understanding of japanese and fluency eventually . You don't seem to understand the point of the method : it's just an introduction . Coupled with the kanji chain method and the input method of antimoon with a SRS the results are awesome.
You're just another advocate of this closeminded school which doesn't understand the difference between an adult westerner and a japanese child .

While I appreciate you taking the time to post a comment, please play the ball, not the man. If you disagree with someone's opinion then say so, and present your reasons. Name calling like this adds nothing to the discourse and casts a pejorative pall on your words.

cheers

According to my own monitoring, billions of people on our planet receive the credit loans at good banks. Therefore, there's a good chance to find a collateral loan in any country.
