By FAR the best way: Heisig: Remembering the Kanji You can download a torrent at: http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/3399676/Remembering_the_kanji Nothing comes even close to this method.

or james w. heisig. "remembering kanji" vol 1 and 2. look for torrent. i recomend this. Drilling is long and paintfull story.

Just write and write and write!!!!!! We use more than 2000 kanji. Through memorizing you will find a law of type of kanji. Each letter has its image of meaning. Just try!!!

so funny,Hope you will learn to read it

I bought the book "essential kanji" with 2000 kanji's in it. i will do a combo of reading the "remembering the kanji" and also write all of them a lot and do reviews. I read a bit of remembering the kanji and it seems good. Thanks for all the tips!
