"Heisig Levels" is a plugin for Anki 1 that helps combine Japanese vocabulary study with James Heisig's "Remembering The Kanji" method. The plugin adds the possibility to generate Heisig levels for the words in your decks.
The Heisig level of a word is defined as the highest Heisig number of any kanji in the word, i.e. how far you must be with the Heisig method to be able to read and write the word. These levels can be used to unsuspend vocabulary cards, so that you'll only see words of which you know all the kanji.
To make your deck work with this plugin, you'll need to add the heisig_levels tag to the model you use,
and make sure you have a field called Expression (from which the word is read) and a field called Heisig Level (to which the Heisig level is written).
The levels are generated as the with Japanese Support plugin, by editing the Expression field or by selecting
the Regenerate Heisig Levels option from the menu.
Currently, only the Heisig method is supported by this plugin, though you could replace the heisig_levels.csv
file with a file that enumerates the kanji in a different order.
This plugin borrows heavily from the Japanese Support reading generation code, so my thanks goes out to Damien Elmes for writing the plugin and obviously for writing Anki.
