As a method for learning to right and recognize the kanji RTK 1 is brilliant. However the prospect of learning more than 2200 Chinese readings when I can barely put together a sentence seems stupid. I just don't have that kind of will power. I need a more tangible grasp on the language before I proceed any further. I plan to use the JLPT as my frame for what to study. Much of the vocabulary and grammar of L5 and L4 I'm already familiar with though Rosetta Stone, however that familiarity is fleeting and disjointed, as much of Rosetta Stone is. However there is one key tip I pick up from Rosetta Stone that I plan to employ as I continue learning, and that's image association without native language translations. Simply put, that mean write the word りんご beside a picture of an apple without the word apple in sight: image association. This is a bit more complicated with abstract words, but sentences with a corresponding image solve that problem. For example, いつも and the sentence 母はいつも忙しい, beside a picture of a busy mother illustrates this concept. I employing a Keynote slideshow to keep track of the pages with random images from google searches.
I need a structure schedule for this new study method:
月曜日
Music (1 song, from katakana version of lyrics type kanji version, furiganize, check twice by ear, create .pdf and image copies)
火曜日
Kanji Readings (Start with 10, 2 example words per reading with sentences) (copy/paste to anki)
Music (listen)
水曜日
JPLT Vocab. (make list for L5 now, later narrow study)
(LATER CONSIDER PASTING SCREEN CAPS OF KEYNOTE SLIDES IN ANKI AS IMAGES)
木曜日
Grammar Point(10 points, write example sentence, copy to blog, type created sentence) (ANKI copy/paste)
Music (transcribe by hand)
金曜日
Kanji Readings (Review)
土曜日
Grammar Point (Review)
JPLT Vocab. (Review / make list for L5 now, later narrow study)
