Though I am watching a bunch of video and audio in Japanese so I may be doing good in other parts of the studying. @Rob I think the major reason for me going so slow in the beginning is since I did the kana first which is really hard to learn compared to the average kanji (I wish I knew about this method then). I wish I could look up when I started the kanji, since I assume they would make up a good portion of the time. @Igor well currently I am just reviewing until I feel like stopping.

If you can and feel like doing 30, then, great, do 30. But if you only feel like doing 5 (or 10), then just do that. In my experience, the ones that I don't wanna do because I feel obligated to complete some certain number are always the hardest to learn. In fact, I almost always have trouble remembering them. Try and capture the exciting moments where you feel like doing kanji and you're like, "Yes! I can't wait till I finish!" Then, timebox it and get as many as you can done/as many as you feel like getting done. I often do kanji in fifteen minute segments for timeboxing. When the fifteen minutes are up, I go watch anime or something for fifteen minutes. Then I do kanji for another fifteen minutes, etc until I get tired. Though, I do agree that 5 a day may not be quick enough. So, whatever floats your boat. If you feel like doing a poop-load of kanji one day a week and just few the rest of the days, go ahead. @ akira

It is very easy to come to a kanji, make up a mnemonic story or borrow someone else's and move on to the next. It takes time and review for all of the kanjis to sink in. Once I got to a 1000, I decided to take 2 weeks to only do reviews before moving on and I think it helped me immensely. Now when I read and come to a new word, it is very rare that I don't remember the keyword or meaning of the respective kanjis. Hope this helps. @Akira

You should try to increase the number becuase you'll get done just that much faster. I started with RTK at the end of September (20th) and now I'm at 1471. I've had a few off days. Akira,

Not looking at any statistics I think my current pace is around 10 pretty comfortably. How many reps per day do you do or did do if you are in a different stage. Mine for last week was "163.6 cards/day", so I estimate I would have to do 400ish to reach the goal you said. @Hashiriya Yea I use that site everyday, 25-30 you say yea that seems like a reachable goal.

I have calculated my pace for leaning kanji to be 4-5 new ones learned a day. Started about mid july with learning the kana (didn't know about your website then) and I am currently at 405 kanji. Do you think I should be going faster? Realizing that as I know more I will learn them faster (I am definitely seeing this). Just wondering if my pace is comparable to were you were and any thoughts you may have on this. Thanks for any help! I really enjoy the web site! p.s. currently watch streaming TV Tokyo as much as I can I have 2 questions for you, answer them when you have the time/feel better.
