Re: Help With Learning Kanji

What you some of you better recommend for learning: looking up and
drilling sets of kanji as they appear in actual reading? Or learning
the radicals first, then moving on to the complex stuff? I've been
experimenting with the first approach lately, but can't help but think
the second method might create a better foundation for the first in the
longrun.

What method do/did you use and how would you rate them?

I think before I can recommend anything to you, I need to know why are
you learning kanji? Do you want to read material, or just "read"
material (eg: know the meaning without knowing the pronounciation), or
to write by hand or by computer, or what?
