漢字勉強 (Kanji Study) with Anki

漢字 / かんじ / Kanji 

I'm in the middle of translating 神様のカルテ2 (Kami-sama no Karute 2 / God's Chart 2 / In His Chart 2 / Chart of Love).  Besides that there are a lot of medical terms that I am not familiar with, both in Japanese and English, when I used the vobsub2srt app of Linux, the automated OCR transcription of the sup / idx / sub subtitle files have many mistakes. What's painful even more is that kanji recognition is my weakest in Japanese.

I've announced in the SkewedS Translations site that I have started to translate printed media for me to be forced to be better at reading Japanese, especially kanji recognition.

So I google'd around and found this post in NihongoShark. I've known the Anki app for quite awhile and used the older version when I took JLPT N5 and N4 to review old exam questions. I have to find those decks I've made though. It took me quite awhile to transcribe JLPT 4kyu and 3kyu questions to be made into decks. Can't remember at the moment where I put them. But hopefully, they still exist somewhere in the depths of my current 12+TB hard disk space.

Anyway, I've made some changes in the settings instructed in the post at NihongoShark. Let's face it, today is the first day of the year 2015 in my timezone. The post was made last November 19, 2012. It's relatively outdated now.
