As I've been reviewing/studying my Japanese, I discovered a new method of approaching the daunting task of studying Kanji. It is based around a series of books written by James W. Heisig, titled: "Remembering the Kanji". Albeit, this method somewhat contradicts traditional classroom methods of Kanji learning, as it focuses on the meaning of kanji, rather than how to read them or vocabulary. Despite this, I've heard that it can help ease the overload that many people face when learning kanji by tying the characters to familiar aspects, as opposed to unfamiliar or multiple readings/vocabulary words. The method is also heavily focused on self-study, which is perfect for the remaining time that I have before I leave on the 15th. So, I've purchased the books, and I will work my way through the 1st, and possibly begin the second over these next few months. Hopefully, I will be able to use this to supplement my classes while abroad and further enhance my learning.
