If you like and use the Leitner system, you can probably make your preferred method of study work within the app\u2019s available options. If you don\u2019t know what \u201cthe Leitner system\u201d is or you\u2019ve noticed that the amount of kanji and\/or vocabulary you\u2019ve got in your study list is starting to get a bit unruly then I\u2019d recommend that you study as outlined in this post.<\/p>\n<p>You should be using the Flow study method. The app will keep track of how well you know each card and determine when you need to study the card again. Basically, it\u2019s an algorithm managed, increasing interval study system. The more you know a card, the less the app will present it to you in study sessions.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s important to keep in mind that this algorithm isn\u2019t going to give you perfect memorization. You\u2019ll probably end up needing to review about 10% of your cards from each study session. That\u2019s okay. You shouldn\u2019t feel bad if you didn\u2019t remember the card. If you never get any cards wrong then you have a perfect memory and really don\u2019t need to be studying all that seriously anyway. Expect to forget cards. If you don\u2019t immediately and confidently know the card, you don\u2019t know it. Swipe it to the left and review it.<\/p>\n<p>You should be using context-based study and (almost) everyone of your cards should have examples. This applies especially to verbs and nouns of a disyllabic origin (double kanji words). Download imiwa? (it\u2019s free) and use it to import examples for your card. If imiwa? doesn\u2019t have examples for the word you\u2019re studying then check out the tip in <a href=\"https:\/\/naganashi.com\/kanjiflow\/define\/\" target=\"_blank\">this post<\/a>. Simple nouns like \u308a\u3093\u3054 (apple) probably don\u2019t really need examples.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re studying reading, read the example <strong>out loud<\/strong> being sure to use the proper reading for the kanji between the \u3010\u3011. If you\u2019re studying writing, get out a sheet of paper and pen and write the example down replacing the \u25cb with the correct kanji. The point of this is to get used to how the word is <em>used<\/em> by practicing actually using it. Memorizing the whole dictionary isn\u2019t going to do you any good if you don\u2019t know which verb or word is appropriate to whatever situation you happen to find yourself in.<\/p>\n<p>Good luck and please let me know if any of this isn\u2019t clear in anyway. I\u2019ll be happy to talk with you personally about how to get the most out of your study time with kanji Flow.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Happy Studies!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First, watch the Getting Started video: You can also check out the linked tutorials\u2019 play list on this post\u00a0you haven\u2019t already. kanji Flow offers a lot of freedom in how you use it to study.
