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)

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`.
|
|
|
|
Since I'm using the German version of the book (and my native language is German) the cards are Japanese-German.
|
|
I'm following the guide of the book, only implementing hints if I have troubles with memorizing the words.
|
|
Feel free to base your vocab list off of mine via a fork, that's probably the best way to go ahead.
|
|
|
|
## Disclaimer
|
|
All cards have now been added.
|
|
Hints are only sporadically used and can only be expected for difficult kanjis in the first few hundred cards for now.
|
|
|
|
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've been adding the seperately listed primitives as well, although that has some issues connected with it: Some/most of the primitives listed seperately do not have a unicode character associated with them. Thus I've been using two strategies:
|
|
|
|
1. Choosing a simple kanji which uses this primitive and stating with part of this kanji is meant
|
|
2. Misusing another unicode character which looks pretty much the same. For example for "Besen" as used in "雪" uses the charakter "ヨ" ("yo" from Katakana).
|
|
|
|
Both of these strategies are not optimal and I'm currently looking into other options. Inserting pictures does not seem optimal to me as well since those are heavily font-dependent. Reccommendations on how to solve this issue are always welcome.
|
|
|
|
## Compounds
|
|
Compounds are added to the last kanji learned to completely understand the compound.
|
|
E.g. "週末" (Wochenende) is added at "週" (no. 340), not "末" (no. 230).
|
|
|
|
## Fonts
|
|
For Kanjis I'm using the IPAGothic font, for the stroke order I'm using Timothy Eyre's great font I found on [his website](https://www.nihilist.org.uk/). Please notice the license he has listed for this font.
|
|
|
|
### Importing via apkg
|
|
|
|
I've included an apkg file with the font files included as well as one apkg file without these font files.
|
|
Choose the one you prefer, the one with fonts has the additional benefit of synchronising the fonts with other devices.
|
|
|
|
### Importing via CrowdAnki
|
|
|
|
Either install these fonts seperately or add the ttfs to your `collection.media` Anki folder as `_ipag.ttf` and `_KanjiStrokeOrders.ttf`.
|
|
The latter method has the benefit of synchronising these fonts to your other devices as well.
