The journey of 2,136 kanji begins with 一。

I’ve memorised chapters 1 to 3 of Remembering the Kanji which is really just going over old ground but you have to start somewhere. Less than 2,100 to go! The system is each kanji is presented with a key word and an unusual. You don’t learn the reading or compounds at all. It’s an exercise simply in learning to recognise or read the kanji in terms of its key word meaning. The rest comes later. The system has its detractors but as I understand it is well regarded, generally speaking, and there are plenty of positive reviews to be found. It’s only early days, again, but let’s see how far I make it. Hey, WAGMI.
