I did hate kanji when I first started learning, but now it's genuinely the thing I love most about learning Japanese. The satisfaction of recognizing Kanji and successfully reading sentences, seeing the nuance behind it, the fun connections a character has with other characters. It's like a fun puzzle that I'll never run out of pieces to put together.

@kaedecrystal 24 күн бұрын

How do you recommend learning them?

@DeadlyLazer 24 күн бұрын

@@kaedecrystal Let me first say I'm far from an expert on this. I'm not fluent by any means and I'm just barely over N5 level. But if you asked me, I'd say the biggest tip from me especially if someone is starting out is just to look at as much kanji as possible. Don't go straight into memorizing it, just look at it, get used to looking at it. Pay attention to the patterns, the shapes, and simply keep a mental note of it. Later on when you actually actively try to learn its meaning, It'll be much easier. Don't rush into thinking you need to know everything as quickly as possible, because its a LOT of characters and you will be overwhelmed. Now, how you manage to look at as much kanji as you can depends on your interest. Personally, I love Japanese music, so I get a lot of kanji exposure looking at the lyrics and singing along. That way I also get the reading along with the kanji. That's one among many methods. But it's really up to what you enjoy doing. Anyway, that's just how I personally do it based on my experience. Hope that helped for you or anybody reading this :)

I personally completely undermine the name readings and aim towards learning at least one of either on or kun reading of each kanji so that I could at least type them on Japanese keyboard. Then I learn Japanese words from here

I was told that the best way to memorize kanji is to basically memorize it as it comes up rather than trying to memorize every form and pronunciation each kanji has. So, if you come across a certain kanji like 人生 you'll know it'll be read as じんせい, but then you'll come across 生きる and you'll learn the new pronunciation for this particular form いきる

@user-iv8ex1ek4j 5 ай бұрын

That’s a very good way. It can be better or can be the best if you combine it with an SRS (like Anki). With an SRS, you’re _actively_ trying to encounter the various forms. And it will help you remember by forcing you to *recall* the words before you forget them.

I pretty much didn't do any of this to learn kanji, I find trying to memorize them to be a massive waste of time. I just looked up new words as I went along and learned Kanji in context. It made it go by quicker as I wasn't spending as much time studying kanji and instead did other things like reading or watching stuff. The only real downside to this is that I can't handwrite but it's 2024, I can just look up the stroke order on my phone if I ever need to handwrite.

I've been learning since a few months, and learning radicals is really important. I'm not super skilled, but I really enjoy deciphering kanjis, trying to mix all those radicals into a cohesive story that tells what the kanji is all about. I'm far from knowing all the radicals, but I'm familiar with most of them, and kanjis don't look that alien to me any more. It's really rewarding to see the progress I've made, even though I'm far from reading Japanese properly, and I've mostly devoted my time to get the meaning of kanjis, the prononciation is still a lot of work. Anyway, I wish I learned about the radicals sooner, they're like the alphabet of kanjis.

@CaptainWumbo 5 ай бұрын

even after learning jouyou and many more, it's a really difficult system. I think it works better for native speakers who mostly just learn to write words they know, and then kind of hard things like medical terms are a little bit obvious in kanji. But as a foreign speaker, they make reading much more exhausting than any other language because reading doesn't reinforce pronunciation well and you can easily forget which exact way the kun reading goes for a word you only know by recognition. I find it very discouraging when I want to read but I have to have so much mental energy to overcome the cognitive overload. Or else I spend 2 minutes staring at a kanji I know I just saw and know the meaning of but can't recall easily how it is said.

Funnily enough nobody mentions using clever mnemonic techniques to easily remember the shape of kana, radicals or kanji irself. There are specialiced books for that. For example, the hiragana すresembles a twisted arabic sabre, the sabre of the SUltan. Just an easy way to connect す with SU in your head. With that method I was able to memorize the whole kana syllabary in about 4 days.

My japanese goal is to continue learning and hopefully be at a jplt 3 level by September when I plan to make first visit which seems possible or at least be in between jplt 4 and 3 On the note I admit my kanji, hiragana and katakana will probably be behind as I am slowly learning the writing system through a combination of duolingo lessons but I also pick it up naturally by seeing it in action Btw thank you whenever you reply to my comments either here or instagram by writing in the writing systems because it does help me think about what you typed even though I always look up the characters but I am catching on

@mizer6o9 5 ай бұрын

nice tips! but for flashcards, I would recommend putting the meaning (kanji) behind and the word you want to remember in front to stimulate your memory. example: in front: 庭に(dog)がいます。 behind: 犬 • [いぬ] For some people, it might look the same, but believe me, it's the most effective way.

Most efficient way I found to get through the 2000~ Joyo Kanji was Heisig's Remembering the Kanji, this uses mnemonics (visual aids) and was incredibly fun and efficient to learn the 2000 kanji and their associated meanings by linking stories to the radicals that make up individual Kanji. I would heavily recommend buying this book and giving it a try.

@youknowkbbaby 4 ай бұрын

I tried mnemonics and RTK. It was kind of a disaster for me. I ran out of stories and ran out of imagination around the 500th kanji or so. Also, using the anki program felt like a total burden. It's definitely a good book for some people and bad for others.

Now for a memorization app that just happens to reinforce your memory more 😅, but it’s a valid criticism. I hope they will continue to optimize it in the future so it stops happening so frequently.

Personally, as a native English speaking American, I LOVE kanji! Even if I don’t know how to read or pronounce certain kanji, I can still understand the meaning of them. For example, if I am familiar with the kanji for tree, 木, it does not take a genius intellect or years of study to figure out what “ 森 “ means. Once you understand enough radicals, you can get the gist of what signs and menus are saying; unlike European languages that rely on Roman letters, where you likely STILL can’t pronounce them properly, and have no context for the meaning either (yes, I’m looking at you Swedish! 😂)
