While there are still daily reviews to be done on RTK1, there will be no more adding new cards, and the shorter reviews will leave more time for new learning resources. A few posts on the Koohii forum discuss the next steps, along with many other blog posts. Read this one, it gives a good idea of the options available.

After quick research, I set up for either Core2k 6k from Smart.fm (now a paid site), or KO2001. From what I understand, both have about the same amount of vocab, while the Core series is easier, has more natural language, but has a goofy Kanji introduction ordering, while KO2001 is a little more complex to get into, but with a more logical approach. Which one to pick? One, both?

Not a problem, as cangy from koohii forums is providing us with the Core vocab, ordered by Kanji frequency (so the more you learn, the more Kanji will be introduced). Then, after those ~6k cards, it’ll probably be time for native material…
