I have had the same problem, and I have been using one of those kanji a day calendars. They don't teach too quickly, but they do help to remember. THe version I have comes in a yellow box and is called kanji a day... I believe there are only 2 or 3 volumes out to date, so I suggest doing 2 or three at once. there are also many kanji a day sites on the net two, good idea to check them out. I hear that Japanese HS grads know upwards of 2000 kanji. 365 per year plus the fact that you aren't starting in kindergarten or first grade.... hmm that would take a while. By the way, can anyone tell me if that figure is accurate? I haven't tried kanji books yet, but I would imagine they can't hurt. Hope that helps
