Hey,

Now there are totals available on the progress page you can work out how many reps you have done per character learned.

I am using the heisig method, creating a mnemonic for every character, and am curious how much quicker, if at all, it makes the process of learning characters.

Currently I am on 11 reps per character and was wondering where other people are at and what method they are using.

There was another thread not long ago with some decent stats.

I'm not sure what this heisig method is, but I'm also creating mnemonics. Or at least, stories with characters/things representing different parts of the character. At the moment I'm on about 9.2.

I've been wanting to ask though, how many characters/words are people adding a week? I've a lot of free time at the moment. Seems to be around 125-175 characters. Words I've just started adding. Around 100.

My recall rate's not all that good. 88%. I think a lot of that is tones, and forgetting which character a word uses.

I had stats somewhere for time per character (not reps, though). I forgot what it was for yours, though, shinyspoons--I was interested to check it out to compare the Heisig approach. The average (among people who had studied long enough) was 3.5 minutes per character; you can compare that to your average if you like. (That's with learning an average of one extra word per character.)

I think the heisig method is pretty much the same as yours apart from i started using the his book, in the beginning and have continued with some of the mnemonics he suggested.

As for the characters i add, it really depends, i have very little time to learn so when i get it i have to make the most of it. So when i get a full day to learn maybe i will do about 100 characters, i will defiantly forget a lot, but at the mo i am experimenting to see if quantity is better than quality.
