Kanji Success!

やった! I finally finished RTK-mod!

RTK is Remember the Kanji, a common textbook for learning meanings and how to write the 2042 kanji needed to be literate in Japanese. RTK-mod is a truncated deck that removes a bunch of the uncommon/useless kanji, leaving ~1780.

I started trying to learn the kanji through RTK about 5 years ago, and have had a very on-and-off relationship with it. About a year ago I got back into studying Japanese seriously, and went from around kanji 800 to today.

The chart of success. Unseen = 0! (Suspended are RTK3 and some uncommon cards cards)



You can really see when I started working on this seriously:



And it's working long term! 80% recollection on cards with an interval over 21 days.



I get two more kanji celebrations too: for finishing RTK3-mod, and for all the uncommon kanji I skipped in this pass.

I still haven't decide on what my big celebration is going to be for this!
