Remembering the Kanji vol: I - II - III



Remembering the Kanji is a series of three volumes by James Heisig, intended to teach the 3007 most frequent Kanji to students of the Japanese language. 
  • Remembering the Kanji 1: A Complete Course on How Not To Forget the Meaning and Writing of Japanese Characters
  • Remembering the Kanji 2: A Systematic Guide to Reading Japanese Characters
  • Remembering the Kanji 3: Writing and Reading Japanese Characters for Upper-Level Proficiency

Remembering the Kanji 1: A Complete Course on How Not To Forget the Meaning and Writing of Japanese Characters (usually simplified to Remembering the Kanji 1 and abbreviated to RTK1) is the first in the Remembering the Kanji book series by James Heisig. It was first published in 1977, with the sixth edition of the book planned for release in 2011.
In the book, Heisig presents a method for learning how to associate the meaning and writing of 2042 kanji, including all the jōyō kanji. There is no attention given to the readings of the kanji, as Heisig believes that one should learn the writing and meaning first, before moving on to the readings in Volume II.

Remembering the Kanji 2: A Systematic Guide to Reading Japanese Characters (often referred to as Remembering the Kanji 2 and abbreviated as RTK2) is the second in the Remembering the Kanji. Volume II presents the official readings of the 2042 kanji introduced in Volume I.
Unlike the first volume, this book does not rely on "imaginative memory". The book is mainly focused on the Chinese readings, however one chapter does suggest a mnemonic device for learning the Japanese readings. Heisig splits the kanji into various chapters, according to the most appropriate method to learn their readings. For each Chinese reading of a kanji, an example compound word is given.

Remembering the Kanji 3: Writing and Reading Japanese Characters for Upper-Level Proficiency (often referred to as Remembering the Kanji 3 and abbreviated as RTK3) is the third in the Remembering the Kanji book series by James Heisig. This volume was co-authored by Tanya Sienko.
Volume 3 presents a further 965 kanji in addition to the 2042 kanji introduced in Volume 1 and Volume 2. It is split into two parts. The first is in the style of Volume I, where the writing and keywords are learned. The majority of the new kanji are introduced according to their traditional radical. The other part is in a similar style to Volume 2, where the readings of the kanji are learned.
