This is my personal vocab list to learn the Japanese Kanji which is using J.W. Heisig/R. Rauther's [__"Die Kanji - lernen und behalten 1"__](https://www.amazon.de/Bedeutung-Schreibweise-japanischen-Schriftzeichen-behalten/dp/3465041577/ref=sr_1_2?crid=2LX7RDRS8FEGW&dchild=1&keywords=die+kanji+lernen+und+behalten&qid=1595191168&sprefix=Die+kanji+lern%2Caps%2C154&sr=8-2) as well as for the third book in the series.
|
|
All in all it includes 3000 Kanjis and 171 primitives.
|
|
|
|
Since I'm using the German version of the book (and my native language is German) the cards are Japanese-German.
|
|
Most of the hints I have gotten from [another Deck for the same book](https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1354129669) (probably should have looked for something like this earlier).
|
|
A big thanks to the contributors of that deck for sharing their work.
|
|
These have not yet been formatted corrected (i.e. bold for the word in question and italics for components of the kanji).
|
|
|
|
Feel free to base your vocab list off of mine via a fork, that's probably the best way to go ahead.
|
|

|
## Import
|
|
|
|
I'm using Anki as my vocab program with the Addon [CrowdAnki](https://github.com/Stvad/CrowdAnki) to export in a diff-friendly json-file.
|
|
You can easily add it to yout Anki setup via the code given on [its AnkiWeb page](https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/1788670778).
|
|
From there it's a simple `File -> CrowdAnki: Import git repository`.
|
|
|
|
If you're using different Anki applications, please see the release section for `.apkg` files.
|
|
These will not be as up to date as the `json` files used by CrowndAnki.

### Disclaimer
|
|
|
|
Hints are now implemented, but need correct formatting to highlight meaning and primitives in the sentences.
|
|
The correct formatting is as of today (20210111) at no.1005 and will gain roughly ten new correctly formatted hints per day.
|
|
To get the Kanji unicode characters I used this [Kanji recognition site](https://kanji.sljfaq.org/draw-canvas.html).
|
|
Seems a lot faster than having to rely on Google Translate (plus I don't have to use Google, which is a benefit in itself.)
|
|
|
|
## Primitves
|
|
I'm mapping primitives which cannot be found in the Unicode standard to a section of the Ethiopian Alphabet.
|
|
My custom fonts then display these primitives instead of the ethiopian letters.
|
|
This means that the symbol displayed in Browse mode is incorrect for primitives.
|
|
|
|
## Composites
|
|
I have now implemented all composites from the 2nd book.
|
|
The composites from the 3rd book should soon follow.
|
|
The formatting of how these composites are represented will gradually be improved.
|
|
Let's hope Javascript can wrangle these multiple fields into something coherent on the cards.
|
|
|
|
## Readings
|
|
I've pulled all available On- Kun- and Nanori-readings from http://nihongo.monash.edu/ using a script.
|
|
These readings are not yet displayed on the cards themselves but are listed in the notes.
|
|
If you want to see my awful coding practices for such one off stuff which just needs to generate a file once, look into the `scripts` branch of this git repository.
|
|
|
|
## Fonts
|
|
For Kanjis I'm using the IPAGothic font, for the stroke order I'm using Timothy Eyre's (or is it Ulrich Apel's? It's not quite clear to me.) great font I found on [his website](https://www.nihilist.org.uk/).
|
|
The licenses for these fonts can also be found in the `licenses` folder of this git repository.
|
|
I believe me distributing these fonts with this project is not a breach of contract, but I am also not a lawyer.
|
|
|
|
Note: These fonts have been slightly altered by me.
|
|
This is mostly done to add support for Heisig's primitives system.
|
|
Otherwise, sometimes, a Kanji might slightly differ from the original font to more accurately reflect how Heisig has it written.
|
|
This is mostly removing a single drop of water or similar.
|
|
For example, Heisig does not seem to like to use '辶' and almost always prefers '⻌'.
