@@vaneplane what's easy? Chinese? It's my native tongue.

Mumefi so true

Well, you have to learn them separately.. Makes it much easier! So you know the meaning of a kanji, and you know the reading of that meaning, because you listen to Japanese audio or learn the Japanese words in kana. And so you can link the reading with the kanji. And it may seem very time consuming, but after a while it becomes natural and then you don't need to do the 'double translation' anymore.

on-reading (chinese) is used if there are more than one kanji in the sentence/together and the kun-reading (japanese) is used when only one kanji is used in the sentence. that‘s what I understood from japanesepod101. more about this here: www.thoughtco.com/learning-japanese-4070947 if I‘m wrong, please someone correct me, I just (re)started studying japanese after 4 years *cries*

Some of kanji have only onyomi reading, and some of words with more than one kanji have kunyomi reading. Just an example : electricity is written 電　デン As you can see, this kanji has only onyomi reading. Akihabara is written 秋葉原 It is a popular district in Japan : you read this as あきはばら。All the kanji into this word are read in kunyomi reading ! Lots of place names and words already existed in Japan before the country opened to the world. Then they simply associated chinese kanji with the words they already said before. That's why, it's not a strict rule that "one kanji has only kunyomi reading" and "words with more than one kanji have only onyomi reading". ;-)

I can remember it , but i can't read it too.

Lol

@@joysun4370 Switching between traditional and simplified characters isn't that big of a deal. Simplified characters just use less strokes.

Ash well,yea😂

+Hans Kamp I'm so happy someone pointed this out :D People used to tell me about my J's all the time. But my name starts with a J, so I feel like I can take some creative license in deciding how to write the letter ;)

英会話スクール English Garden I used to have a classmate who wrote 1 by starting from the bottom. You could only notice he did this if you watched him write though, which is what I use as an excuse not to learn stroke order

Wait the Latin alphabet has a stroke order!?

It doesn't! Letters have traditional ways of being written, but kanji stroke orders are much stricter and more regulated. In my experience, learning correct stroke orders for kanji helps you learn them more quickly. That said, there's no reason to freak out if someone "breaks the rules" when writing kanji. It's merely a method to make writing smoother and easier.

stroke order also helps with making the kanji look right

It really looks like 君... I was confused

@@kal9728 Ah, that is quite similar. But instead of having a "hand" (手 shŏu) over an "eye" (目 mù) to make "watch" (看 kàn)... This is "to govern/an official title" (尹 yǐn) over a "mouth" (口 kǒu) which makes "ruler" (君 jūn). So basically, the ruler has his say. So his mouth is literally involved. And his status is shown as a symbol that resembles a flag hanging above him..and his literal mouth, lol. It's important to first know the pieces of the puzzle. It's harder to tell what a word is when it's all put together. But when you take it apart to its simpler parts, it can be more easily understood.

I was about to comment same.

Marcel Petersen you can write sentences with only hiragana but it's harder and slower to read

Problem is that learning the pronunciations along with the meanings and how to write them would cross a lot of wires in your brain and would be nearly impossible to do, you would be forgetting things constantly. The Heisig method teaches you to remember how to write the kanji and the meaning of each kanji (which you can do for all 2156 in roughly 4 months) so that you already have a mental dictionary of each kanji and you can easily pick up the pronunciations in a case by case basis since human brains are very good at clumping already existent information.

Marcel Petersen it's like you wanna walk when you even can't crawl. It's not easy to speak when you can't write and read different language

@@MontySlython I agree! Marcel, If you want to read and write it, you might consider using the Heisig method for learning Kanji, and learn the vocabulary and grammar in Hiragana separately through a method book. Finally, when you are ready to combine them, it's just a matter of matching up the name and picture. For the most part, that is what I am doing.

プロファシナーヒトマン you should write tasketa or totemo yakunita. 「たすけた」または「とてもやくにた」とかくべき。Arigato

プロファシナーヒトマン sore wa tasketa.

Pixel I think that’s Thai

fr. when i saw “kuv lub npe yog-“ I was like WUTTTT.

+someamorplease I've had this feeling before. Not with Heisig, but with other websites that were offering Japanese advice for a price. As just some guy (and not the owner of an English school), I can tell you that I struggled to learn Japanese for over a year after I came to Japan. I bought textbooks, I took a few free classes, but everything just bored me. Maybe that was because I was studying the language as a working adult, not a student, so I felt a need to enjoy myself speaking the language, rather than gradually leveling up over the course of a few semesters. So I was kind of paralyzed in terms of Japanese study, but two things brought me out of it. The first was Heisig's book, and the second was stumbling across ajatt.com (which also recommends the Heisig Method). Heisig's book (just the first one) opened Japan for me, since because after that I was able to understand a lot more of the world around me. I was able to read manga after getting through most of the book, which put me on a path to learn more Japanese grammar and vocabulary, which had a positive effect on my listening and conversation skills. And ajatt.com served as my coach. The website was a community of people like me who were interested in studying, but not via the train-track method of a textbook. We wanted to make our own textbooks, so to speak, out of the stuff we actually enjoyed engaging with in Japanese. So for me, at least, Heisig was the first stepping stone that interested me enough to stick with it, and it ended up being probably the most valuable study material I've ever bought with regard to Japanese. That said, the first 50 or so pages are available online for free. You should definitely check that sample out before investing in the whole book if money is an issue. Heisig worked for me, but it's not magic. It's a lot of hard work, and if you don't find yourself addicted to the idea after 50 pages, you probably won't make it to the end. Even I struggled to finish after the first 1000 kanji.

英会話のEnglish Garden Thank you so much, you're the first person to ever give me relevant information and tell me about your experience. I will definitely look into Heisig's book some more and decide if it's the best path for me. From what I've heard people say it sounds like it would work for me but I just got kind of lost in a whirlwind with people using words I'd never heard before. Thank you for the information, I will check out the free online stuff to test it out.

+someamorplease +英会話のEnglish Garden: It seems to me that the Heisig Method is nothing more than using mnemonics to remember the kanji, which isn't exactly groundbreaking. Mnemonics is a memory technique that has been used since Ancient Greece. It may take some time to apply the technique at first, but after some time it becomes so natural that it takes no longer to apply the technique than it does reading whatever it is one applies it to. As far as resources on learning kanji go, WaniKani is also worth checking out. It's a website solely devoted to teaching kanji, and in a fun way, partly due to somewhat gamifying the learning process. It is also a paid service, unfortunately, but they do have the decency to let you try out the three first levels for free, which will take around two months. That should be more than enough time to figure out if it's something to your liking or not. They also have a community with a forum over there.

FiveADay Kanji I have actually spoken to you before and I found your blog about a week back. Found a lot of useful information there so thank you :) ありがとございまして

That's exactly what Heisig 1 is: a system of mnemonics for learning kanji. The difference is that he gives detailed stories using the mnemonics, at least for the first 500 (as someone else mentioned). After that, you're expected to invent your own stories, although he gives clues for all of them. It's been a few years since I looked at Heisig 1, so some of my details may be off.
