Kanji Study Cards

Summary: Computer Flash Cards; Kanji Gold
Review: The Kanji Study Cards are great. If you wish to add a computer flash card component to your study regimen, there's a great program that uses the Hesig's format. "Kanji Gold" by Dr. Hewgill is a free 3MB download that is very popular. Just run a search for it on Yahoo. "ganbatte"

Summary: Not very durable
Review: The main reason I bought these cards was to save myself the time and effort of making my own - and to this end, they serve their purpose. Yet while the information on each card is great, I have a few complaints. First of all, the quality of the box and the cards is basic and not particularly durable. The box is made of light cardboard, and the cards are also made of fairly lightweight card paper. For the price I expected better quality. Another feature I don't like, but which seems to be the standard for Kanji cards, is that rather than turn over the card from left to right (or right to left) like a page, you turn it "up and over". Any more complaints? Yes, a little colour coding on the cards would be nice. However, I do appreciate the effort put into creating these cards, and hopefully future editions will be more durable, more colourful and a little cheaper.

Summary: Excellent for lazy people like myself
Review: This set of more than 2000 flash cards, is an excellent supplement to James Heisig`s Remembering the Kanji.
The price is rather stiff though; but I think it`s worth it, as creating the cards yourself is an extremely boring and time-consuming task. The cards follow the format described in Remembering the Kanji. A nice box in which you can store your cards, is included as well.
