Hi all,
I have been using the dictionary by Outlier Linguistics. It’s a nice dictionary.
I have noticed that actually the radical system, used by RTK and WK (which is academically not the correct way to divide the kanji) is actually a great invention since it is not really possible anymore to connect the original phonetic-semantic components to how kanji are today and/or are used today in most cases.
That being said. Semantic and phonetic components (e.g. 昔、しゃく、せき) do indeed show some level of consistency.
I want to leverage these cases + exceptions to speed up my kanji learning. What kind of Anki cards would be most beneficial? I have seen one semantic-phonetic card deck. Good attempt, but didn’t suit my needs.
What would be the best way to go about creating Anki decks, leveraging semantic-phonetic components that do still have a bearing on kanji today?
Edit: I already know many readings of around 650 kanji. I also don’t want to learn to write. I don’t think that it is a time-efficient way to spend one’s time learning Japanese in the initial stages all the way from beginner to advanced -.
