All in One Kanji Deck

This deck contains ALL information you may need for a kanji. It includes ALL 2136 Jouyou Kanji + JLPT N5 to N1's Kanji + 861 Jinmeiyou Kanji + 2500 Most Frequent Kanji + 3007 Kanji from Heisig's book + even more. However, I recommend focusing on Jouyou Kanji, as almost everything you see in Japanese or even the JLPT N1 test doesn't go beyond the jouyou list. These 2136 Jouyou Kanji were ordered to appear first in this deck (in school grade order). The rest (Jinmeiyou, etc) should only be for reference. A little info about Jouyou Kanji: This list was announced officially by the Japanese Ministry of Education. It is also a list of permitted characters and readings for use in official government documents (and maybe most other written works as well, like newspaper or textbook), that means kanji outside this list should be written in hiragana or have furigana to show readings. Mastering these 2136 even helps you gain Level 2 in Kanken, the kanji test for native Japanese (10 levels, level 1 is the hardest). More info here: https://goo.gl/2GsbV5 and https://goo.gl/nXnGGO . I have also made various tags for your custom study: JLPT, Jouyou Grade, Frequency, Jinmeiyou, Theme & Concept. And also, I recommend you learn radical (component in kanji) first, which make kanji much easier to learn. A radical deck can be found here: https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1044119361 (made by me too). If you follow Heisig's order, I don't think you need this radical deck as you learn radicals along with kanji. Info Included: -English meaning, reading (onyomi, kunyomi, nanori). Nanori is for reference, has separate line with kunyomi. -Number of strokes and stroke order. -Example Compound Word -Kanji Level (JLPT Level, Jouyou Grade, Frequency). The lower the frequency is, the more popular the kanji is. "Grade S" means kanji learned in Secondary school in Japan. -A link to Koohii website and 2 offline Koohii Stories help you remember the kanji. -Components of the kanji. -Other Info: Traditional Form, Radical info, Classification (if you care: http://goo.gl/InVXqP ) Note1: For stroke order working, download and install font from this: http://www.nihilist.org.uk/. You just need to download the font file, which is KanjiStrokeOrders_v3.001.ttf , then install it. If you're using android phone, put the font in /sdcard/AnkiDroid/fonts (you may need to create folder "fonts"). If the font doesn't work, try renaming it to "KanjiStrokeOrders" (remove the "_v3.001") Note2: Kanji not in 2136 Jouyou list (which I tagged "gradeS+") may not have all the information mentioned above. Note 3: Each note in this deck has 2 cards, recognition and recall. If you find that inefficient or want to focus on reading kanji, you can delete or suspend all recall cards. Just go to Browser, sort by card type, choose the cards and hit 'suspend' or 'delete'. Update Aug 18: (Important) - Reordered the whole deck to a more logical order. Previous order is by grade then onyomi. Here is the new order: ・First 1006 Kanji (Grade 1-6): Reorder to match the actual fixed order learned in Japan's School (very logical order in my opinon), in accordance with this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ky%C5%8Diku_kanji ・The rest of Jouyou Kanji: Ordered by JLPT Level then by Frequency. ・The rest of the deck: Jinmeiyou Kanji appear first then ordered by Frequency. - Also, a small new feature was added: clicking the keyword or kanji in mnemonics section will direct you to Koohii website for more stories from community. Update Sep 20: -Added lots of tags based on theme and concept, like colors, shapes, or directions, etc (from this: https://goo.gl/FRXRlE ) Adding tags doesn't affect your studying at all, you don't need to update if you don't need these tags. If you update from the older version of this deck, remember to check database (under "Tools" tab) after updating. Update Nov 7: I made a deck with order from Heisig's RTK book. It's here:https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/215365929 I would not recommend any learning order. Just choose your preferable way of learning. However, in my personal opinion, learning kanji outside jouyou list just doesn't make sense, those kanji will take you a LOT of time to learn and even doesn't help you much in reading general japanse. So it's my advice that if you use the RTK order of this deck, you should suspend all kanji outside jouyou list ( maybe just unsuspend the primitives that help you remember later kanji). Update Jan 10: Added reference link to Tangorin site, Jisho.org and Weblio. Also made a little change to the card format. Update Feb 15: I've made a new deck with new order from the latest edition of RTK book, check it here: https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1862058740. If you start from beginning, you can choose between that new deck and this original deck (the first 2200 kanji in that deck is almost the same as the first 2136 in this deck, except for the different order). Reply to some comments: Thanks for your comments so that I can improve the deck :). About the order: You can merge the updates to the old deck (not quite hard to do so). -First: BACKUP your current deck with current schedule, and do this in a different profile first to see if it works (in PC, it is 'File' -> 'Switch Profile'). -Next, download and open the updated deck in a new profile, import this deck as text. -Make another profile and open the backup deck. This profile is for testing, if it works, do it with your current profile. -Open deck browser, choose the deck, type "is:new" in the search box, hit Enter, and delete all the cards. This makes sure you only delete the new cards, so that your learning cards are still kept as they are. -(Optional but recommended) Add/remove/rename/reorder,etc the Fields to match the updated deck. -Reimport the updated deck as text to this deck: 'File' -> 'Import' -> choose text file -> choose 'Update existing notes...', tick 'Allow HTML...' and check carefully the fields to be imported (you can mess the deck if do it wrong, that's why making the Fields match the new deck is recommended) -> hit 'Import'. -To update the card layout: Just copy the code in 'Cards' (inside Browser) of the new deck and paste it into the old deck (you will have to move between the two profiles). -That's it. Now you have the new order and contents while keeping your learning cards. About Heisig's content in this deck: I tried not to include any content from his book to prevent this deck from being removed due to copyrights problem (many decks were removed some times ago). I think stories form Koohii community are good enough :). Anyway, if you want me to improve something with the deck, feel free to leave a comment :).
