    Why We Don't Teach Readings (yet!)
    As mentioned in the introduction video to this series ( ua-cam.com/video/RKWrWRFyfYo/v-deo.html ), it is my philosophy that it is a WASTE OF TIME to learn the readings for each kanji in isolation. I explain WHY in that video.
    To learn how to read kanji, I think it is best to learn WORDS that contain that kanji in the context of SENTENCES. We WILL be doing that in this series, after learning the meanings and writings for the 118 kanji in the JLPT N5 and Kanken 10 tests.
    So fear not! You WILL be learning how to read them in the near future. 😊

      Hi, i just started working through these Kanji videos a week or two ago and I thought you had already released the videos teaching the readings at the end of the playlist. Have they just not been released yet or did you have to take them down? Thanks for the great videos I'm super excited about trying your method to learn :)

    I ended the video with "You can learn the next 5..." without missing a beat. I'm so used to saying it I didn't even think about it. It's a lie though! The NEXT video is 10 WORDS... haha

    西: A pictograph of a dynamite detonator from the wild WEST.

    For me the west is the start of the alcohol 酒 kanji - when the sun sets in the west, it's time to start with beer!

    Due to its similarity to the kanji for four, I like to think of west as the 4th cardinal direction going clockwise around a compass (starting at north, then east, south, and finally west).

    9:11 No way. I never thought that Andy would ever stop a pun mid-saying it!!! What is going on???!?!? He's learning to think before saying things (he's still learning because he still said half of the pun)!!!!!!!!!

    I just wanted to say thank you for this series. This has been sooo insanely helpful. It's insane to me than I can get this level of education on a subject for absolutely free. I recently started going through the Anki Core2k/6k Japanese vocab deck which doesn't use furigana, and this series has made it sooo easy to guess and figure out some of the words without even seeing them or recognizing them. I can guarantee I'll be here for the Kanji reading series when you redo that as well as the next Kanji writing series. ありがとうございます!

    Hi Andi. What's better: learning kanji relying on classic table of radicals (so-called classic 214 keys) or alternative systems? Many websites and apps offer their own classifications of radicals not based on classic keys. Opinion?

    Thank you for your work. It really help me. At home Im writing those kanji, at work Im writing them. When Im walking Im writing in the air. Its so much fun and relaxing. My goal is to read japanese. I dont know anyone who can speak japanese so its hard to practice that skill, so my focus is on reading and understanding. Thank you

      Hi Sergio, We actually started them once, and released 3 lessons, but we realized quickly that they were a bit too difficult for most students. So we are working on re-working the reading part now. It will be at least a few more weeks. Probably a month or two. Sorry for the wait!
