I see. I misread your post--I apologize.

>do you have a problem with the answer? is there something you don't understand?
I think I either misunderstood, or was expecting an elaboration on what was said. I was hoping for an outright suggestion on what format I should use. From what I read initially, all I perceived was green-texting and "don't do sentence mining", without any suggestions for alternatives. I am still somewhat confused.

>personally i wouldn't recommend using sentence cards at all
What would you suggest? I know that pre-made decks are going to overwhelm me in due time, and that I must have personalized reference points in my cards if I want effective SRS material. I base this on my past learning experiences.

I am trying to do RTK, and am wondering about the most efficient ways to build mnemonics for visual content. That is, what elements within mnemonic building tend to be the most conducive to memory bridging?
I'm not sure how to instill memorable, accurate images in my head. This abstract story building doesn't feel effective for me as I am trying it.

The whole concept around mnemonics relies on creating vivid stories, but I find it is often difficult to create anything memorable, or with impact. I don't feel 'involved' when I try to make or copy mnemonics. I'm not witnessing the story, I'm just observing it. I'm not a part of any of it. I don't know how to fix this issue. I believe it will impact vocabulary acquisition as well, as I have had difficulty with that in the past as well.

When I try to force it too much, I struggle even more. A good example is the kanji for "rise up" (昇). For some reason, every time I think of it, I immediately start thinking of that KKK chant that goes something like "stand up (rise up) and be counted, show the world that you're a man...". Memorization eventually devolves into a frustrated rote, which rarely functions at all. This kind of unrelated permeation is distracting and harmful to my progress.

I won't let this setback dishearten me so easily, but I don't see how it is sustainable or otherwise beneficial to study RTK as I am, or even plain vocabulary. I am not enjoying any of this process whatsoever as it stands presently.
