I'm sorry for the audio issue>< I'll work on it for the next future videos so that this issue won't come up again.
Thank you for sharing this app, will try it out!
thank u
thanks for sharing
Arigatou
Thank you sensei
Great video, thank you.
One suggestion: The audio for your voice is only in the left ear. This makes it difficult when using headphones. Can you "center" your voice audio in the recording for future videos?
I came here to say exactly that. Please correct the sound. ...
Hi! Thank you so much for a good review of the MochiKanji app, and a useful video as well. MochiMochi wishes you and your channel more success with the insightful content you bring to your audience!
MochiKanji is the best app to learn Japanese that I have ever used
Love your app at the first sight!! It's so cutee😍😘
Love Mochiiiiii
I've studied Japanese for roughly 2 years and you are the first person to recognize the tireless work and encourage me.
Even through video it felt nice and is appreciated!
こんにちは！Thank you for your comment and support^^ にほんごいっしょにがんばりましょう＾＾Have a great day!
Learning 1000 kanjis in one month is not a reasonable goal. It’s better to just try to get familiar with 300 at most. 10 a day is even a stretch.
It’s useless to try to learn 1000 kanjis in a month, more over it’s completely unattainable. 10 a day is already a lot, 5/7 a day is ideal. What’s the point to learn 1000 kanjis in one month is 2 months later you can remember only 200/300 lol
@@skitonperme who learn 3 characters and learn them 2-3 days 😭 how do people learn 7 kanji a day and next day another 7. how do you remember that?
@@xunvenile I rewrite them daily, personally the only way I can remember them is to write them as much as possible… T.T Flash cards could work for you though! Also, more you learn some, easier it is to memorize them, once you know about 300/400of them, you’ll know the vast majority of radicals and thus it’ll be way easier to memorize new kanji..! I’m rooting for you 🥲
@@xunvenile I know about one app named Japanese kanji study (chase Colburn) with the help of this app I can easily learn 40 kanji for a week . May it will help you
10 a day is a lot maybe 6 at best with vocabulary
Thanks for the motivation to keep going!
Thank you, Sensei 💯
Kanji is difficult to learn as it has no connection to english language. I am going to trust you and take your advice and download mochikanji and do what it says and I will report back to you in one month to see if I have learned 1000 kanji. Presently I only know 30 kanji well, so I am at the first grade level. Thanks for the video. Gambate!
I like the _Kanji Starter_ series by Daiki Kusuya. In these books, kanji are explained as pictures. For example, 伴 (to accompany) has the 人 (person) radical, or part of a kanji, on the left side and 半 (half) on the right. The meaning of this is "a person's better half", or in other words, companion. This kanji is used in the verb _tomonau_ (伴う), meaning "to accompany". As a noun, it can be read as _tomo_ (伴) meaning "friend". When the Chinese, or "sound" reading, is applied, it's _ban_ or _han._ This form often appears in compound words of Chinese origin, nouns such as _banshoku_ (伴食 = commensalism) and verbs such as _dôhan-suru_ (同伴する = to be accompanied by someone).
Kanji are more like symbols representing meaning, rather than letters that represent phonemes (individual sounds). (Hiragana and Katakana represent sounds.) Once we think of kanji that way, and think of Japanese writing as a kind of rebus (writing that combines pictures and letters), then learning Japanese writing becomes feasible, even if there is a lot to learn.
コメントありがとうごあいます！Thank you for the comment! I really do hope you will enjoy the kanji journy as much as you can ! おうえんしています！がんばってくださいね！！！！！！！！！
Hiragana and katakana may be the basics, but their benefits are underrated.
This is such a wonderful, charming little channel. I'm so happy that I stumbled across it.
Thank you so much for your support and comments! I really appreicte it! I'll try my best to upload videos that could help students improve their Japanese levels! いっしょにがんばっていきましょうね＾＾Have a great day!
I just come accross your channel just now and I found it very educational that I subscribe at once. Though I already passed JLPT 2 (ooops that was almost 20 years ago) I still have difficulty memorizing Kanji characters especially now that I'm getting older. I will try to download and use MochiKanji apps to review and enhance my Kanji once again. Thank you and looking forward to studying Kanji more.
Consistency in language learning is something I've struggled with, but your words have inspired me to stay committed to my studies. Thank you for the encouragement
thanks for these tips you shared. Really useful!
Thank you for your comment and support! いっしょにがんばっていきましょう！＾＾
I watched this video many times as it motivated me a lot. Hope watching more video like this sensei 😍
Me too :)))
ありがとうございます. Already downloaded the app and the interface is so pretty, thank you for shaing this app, will learn J right now 😇
I find MochiKanji app so useful in learning Kanji and Vocab. On top of that, I can practice writing in this app 🥰
こんにちは！Thank you for sharing these valuable insights on mastering the Japanese language! Kanji sure presents its challenges, but with dedication and the right approach, it's definitely achievable!
こんにちは！コメントありがとうございます！いっしょににほんごがんばっていきましょうね！You can do it!^^
Thank you for sharing ^^ I'll take the JLPT N3 this July and will try MochiKanji app, thank you again for recommending this amazing app
Hi! Thank you for your comment and support! Wow! JLPT N3! がんばってくださいね＾＾おうえんしています＾＾
Thank you very much for posting this. I am a great fun of Yuzuru Hanyu, but enjoyed very much the fantastic dancing/skating by Daisuke Tkahashi and seeing this moment of passing the championship onto Yuzuru.
Great video, I am just about to start learning Kanji and this gives useful insights. Small note: your voice is only in the left channel.
Hi！Thank you for your comment and thank you for letting me know about the sound！
Correct! Only the left side in stereo speakers is audible. It's for this video specifically, others were fine.
I was about to say the same thing ^^ but very nice and useful video indeed!
my right ear really loved this
very helpful!
The stroke order lessons on app you recommended have really improved my writing fluency
troke order might seem like a small detail, but it makes such a big difference in writing Japanese characters fluently and accurately.
First time watching. Thank you for the in depth explanation! I've been using MochiKanji for a little now and I've completed 7 lessons for the JLPT N5 Course. I do occasionally forget some characters. Does the app bring you back to that Kanji sooner than it planned?
As someone preparing for the JLPT, I really appreciate the breakdown of kanji requirements for each level. It gives me a clear goal to work towards and helps me understand the scale of the challenge ahead.
Thank you for your comment and support! JLPTのべんきょうをしているんですね！すばらしいですね！いっしょにがんばっていきましょう！＾＾Have a wonderful day!
Thanks❤
Very nice video! Thank you so much! ありがとう！I would say it's a bit disturbing that your voice only comes from the left channel 😊
Hi Thank you for your comment and support! Oh no>< I'm so sorry for the audio issue. I'll try to fix it asap. Thank you for letting me know. にほんごいっしょにがんばりましょうね＾＾
This video was very useful. I'm learning japanese at university and we've started learning kanji and it's fun but definitely overwhelming so thank you for the advice. I love your energy and support. 本当にありがとうございます。🌸
コメントありがとうございます！Thank you so much for your comment and support too^^ I really apprecite it. I know it's a bit overwhelming to memorize especitally if you just started learning. But you can do it and I will try my best to upload usuful videos for everyone and hope those videos will help your study,too!がんばってくださいね！
はい、がんばります 🌸

Thank you ❤❤❤ Teacher
spaced repetition feature on MochiKanji sounds like the perfect solution for my forgetful memory!
Thank you for your comment! いっしょに にほんご がんばっていきましょう＾＾
you're so beautiful 😍. also, your video is actually great
Thank you for your comment and support! I will do my best to upload as many helpful videos as I can! Have a great day!
教えてくださってありがとうございます。
I'm a big fan of MochiKanji, I can learn lots of words and Kanji on this app
We have a small Japanese restaurant where I live that I've been going to since I was in high school, and one day, my wife and I sat at the bar. The sushi chef behind the counter was relaying orders in Japanese, and I understood most of what they were saying, so I struck up a conversation. He told me that even for Japanese people, learning the language is hard, and it honestly gave me so much encouragement to know that even native speakers struggle with learning the language. Made the task of continuing to try to learn Japanese seem less stressful and daunting.
New to channel, New to Japanese learning any tips appreciated!!
Hi Thank you for your comment! I'm so happy that you started learning Japanese! これから、よろしくおねがいします＾＾Have a wonderful day!
This is honestly very subjective…depending on the person.
- It all depends on what you’re into….Children’s books is something I never got into…but I’m a gamer…so I just started playing games in full Japanese instead….almost knowing no Japanese whatsoever. Of course, my initial list of games would be games with very simple kanji (N5-N4) or that had furigana…and just worked my way up
- I could never get into radicals,..I just started learning kanji and by the time I was learning around N2 level kanji the parts that make em up just made sense and I felt like I could take an educated guess as to what a new kanji’s 音読み may sound like.
- For me spaced repetition was the way to go with everything from vocab to grammar to kanji…I was actually one of those that just wrote kanji thousands of times while repeating the readings and meanings each time…took me a year to get from N5 to N1 kanji and even some 常用 that didn’t seem to be part of JLPT…but now even though I can no longer write kanji everything just “comes to me”….however, for some people spaced repetition doesn’t work… but as you well pointed out, consistency is key :)
Goes without saying 1000 kanji in a month is a bit clickbaity as it’s impossible to learn that many in a month…even for natives…great vid nonetheless :)
Thank you so much for your comment^^ I really do appreicte you sharing your own Japanese study jouney! Games!!! If you have any recommendation on games which were very useful for your study, I'd appreicte if you could let me know the names of the games^^ いっしょに日本語がんばっていきましょうね！
@@NihongoWithYukino
The games I used were normal games not meant to teach Japanese. After learning kana, I started playing very simple games I have never played before but I still wanted to play. My approach was just play normal games (with a lot of text) and add unknown words to anki...of course, at the beginning I knew almost nothing so I just spent a lot of time adding new words to anki.
Luigi's Mansion 3 - This was my first game and it has almost no kanji. Because there is almost no kanji in the conversations, there is also spacing where it make sense in the sentence. Grammar was also extremely simple. Definitely recommend it as a first game to anyone starting to learn.
Paper Mario Origami King - This was my second game, but it was much much harder compared to the first one in terms of Japanese. There is also A LOT of dialogue.
Animal Crossing (あつまれ どうぶつの森) - Although I didn't play it much, this one is definitely really helpful as you learn about every day items
For anyone learning this way I recommend playing harder and harder games in terms of Japanese. At some point, I also recommend starting to read either Visual Novels, Light Novels or books as they have a ton of vocab you just can't learn through just games.
ありがとうございます先生 !
こちらこそ、コメントありがとうございます＾＾
Hey sensei, arigatou gozaimasu!
I am visiting your channel for the first time. Hope and look forward to learn a lot from your channel. どうもありがとう🙏
A kanji a day keeps the dubs away.
Funny and smart
¡Primera vez que visito su canal!
spaced repetition works well for me because it optimizes memory retention.
the music in the beginning reminds me of the music used in the podcast called "四苦八苦American life"
I am currently learning Chinese and after that I want to learn Japanese. Right now I am learning Simplified Chinese. I have been learning about 7 months and I think I have been learning around 700-800 Chinese Hanzi characters. Learning and memorizing 1000 characters in 1 month is not for me unless I switch all my life into learning the language.
Btw your English is nice to hear :)
Arigatou gozaimasu Yukino sensei 🤧🤧
I learnt kanji with their keys. And I can guess the meaning or the reading by deduction.
For ex 飛行機>means airplane and 飛行場 have the same beginning and means Aerodrome.
It s like 復習 with 練習 and 習う。
The 1st means review the 2nd training and the 3rd to learn.
As a fan of JPop, I learn lot of kanji in songs.
I don t know how many kanji I know but I can read lot of kanji.
And I use an app named Migi JLPT and there is flashcards and all kanji to N5 to N1 free.
I like kanji and in Japanese that s the thing the most interesting to learn🙂
I also do that, it's the same way as learning to use prefixes and suffixes.
農産 (のうさん) agriculture
農産物 (のうさんぶつ) agricultural products
I would like to agree with the idea of learning kanji within a phrase, eg 度胸にいきます. I am going to Tokyo.
In the first two minutes the video explains - practice - dedication - proper resources. Let me add the need for a reason to learn. It is possible. Don’t give up, if you can't learn 1000 in a month it isn't the end of the world!
Thank you!!!!
Thank you😊 where can I get Japanese children books though? I live in Germany.
I actually find kanji easier to remember than regular hiragana words now. I'll always remember what 所 or 許可 means because they are unique and the radicals can help, but I have to second guess myself every time I see a word like なぜ and can't quite remember the meaning because there's nothing about the form of the word to hint at the meaning.
I used Anki, lots of mnemonics, and lots of reading practice to learn how to read about 1000 kanji in about 3 months. I didn't study the readings for each kanji separately, I focused on learning the common vocabulary that is paired with each Kanji. For example, I don't know every individual reading of every kanji for 教科書, but I know when all 3 kanji are together it's pronounced きょうかしょ and means textbook. A kanji like 怖い I remember because the vertical strokes look like scary knives and I always make sure not to confuse こわい and かわいい.
It actually throws me off when Japanese people write words that usually have kanji in hiragana. I saw なに in a tweet the other day and my brain didn't immediately piece together that they meant 何 until after I looked it up.
I just used 漢字学習ステップ books. I think they are a great resource to learn kanji.
I wrote a program (Access database) which has all the kanji, and it allows you to read the E and J of the kanji then I try to write the kanji and if it is correct I tick the box and that kanji does not show up again when I study. It allows me to study each JLPT level, but also I have a list of the most common kanji, but if I get a kanji correct from say L2, it also does not appear when I study other groups like top 1000 kanji. But this is only one part because if you can't put context to the kanji, then you don't learn it eg the 丈 in 大丈夫 (daijyoubu) does not seem useful to learn until yo learn the and meaning of daijyoubu. On top of that, it is really easy to forget over time, so it is non-stop learning and refreshing. I know many Japanese who can't write kanji although they can type it. I like to make oyaji gas from them like 窓 (mado, window) looks like an old French man with a beret, tow droopy eyes and a moustache and mouth. Or "migimouth [mouse] is always right" kanji for right 右 and left 左 are similar but is migi has the mouth radical. BTW I don't sell it, I just made it for myself.
I have been learning Japanese on my own, on and off for a number of years. Failed N4 three times before finally clearing it. I have no problems with Kanji since I know Chinese but its the Katagana that really stumps me. Its really difficult for my brain to internalise the 2 alphabets that go with each sound, without mixing them up. I have decided to just completely practice and master hiragana and ignore katagana. If I cant recall the katagana I will just look it up. Hope it works.
Can you please create online course?
ありがとう
Was the sound recorded in Mono? Sound only comes through 1 ear for headphones

Is it just me or the volume on the left ear phone is very low?
Thumbs up and subbed! But please fix the audio coming from one side, it gets on my nerves :P
Hi Thank you for your comment and support! I really do appreciate it and so sorry for the audio problem>< thank you for letting me know about the issue. I'll try to fix it asap. いっしょに日本語がんばっていきましょう！＾＾
I think for me, i can memorize something if i directly take a kanji quiz even though i don't know the kanji, the repetitive mistakes i make on the quiz makes me remember the correct answer, that's when the app you're using let's you see the correct answer before proceeding to the next question 😅
Greetings from Venezuela, South America. 🇻🇪
An gonna put kanji on the side for now and master Hiragana, Katakana first
the problem is not the similarity of hiragana and katakana,sometimes there is a similarity between katakana and kanji wich is a big problem
ex:ロro/口kuchi
Isn't N3 more like 650 characters total?
ありがとう
I want to learn before i travel.
Just a information your voice is only on one side. At first i couldn't listen to you because i use only one side
Thank you for your comment and I'm so sorry about the audio problem>< Thank you for letting me know! I apprecite it! いっしょににほんごがんばりましょうね！＾＾

こんにちは先生. ❤❤
Please take a break while learning Kanji. Your Mental health will thank you for it!
It seems microphone only recorded on left side.
At first i thought my headphone is broken!😅🤣
先生！What's up with kanji being spelled like 漢字, but China is spelled like 中国?
How should someone learn Japanese who's not the native English speaker?
all english letters capitalized and not as well as cursive is 104 letters. thats 12 more than ひらがな and カタカナ
HELLLLOOOOO.

Yes!!!
I wonder if it's possible to learn 1000 kanji in 1 month, that's roughly 30 characters per day.. I think that almost no one can do it.

I have been struggling to memorize about 35 over the past few months! The multiple readings kill me! 😩
Thank you for the comment! Oh nooooo! I know it's hard but I know you can do it!がんばってくださいね！
Why kanji still work nowadays,we have hiragana and it’s sufficient
I memorize 100 a day with all the kun and on yomi readings. So in three weeks I can read a japanese newspaper. Just kidding.
i have been fighting kanji for the last 8 months 😡
My god you are 可愛い.
All these apps and spaced repetition things. None of it work and it's all very very tedious.
Just buy some novels and check the kanji with your phone's google translate app. So much easier and takes no time.
This is how I learned all my kanji. No apps, no studying, just reading my favourite books.
I subscribed, but please keep the topics tight. Don't make a video about learning kanji then talk about hiragana and katakana.
Hi! Thank you for your comment and support! I really appreicte your feedback,too! にほんごいっしょにがんばりましょうね！^^
Kanji??? Eee, shirankedo!!
If kanji was YOU, then i would totally DO IT!!!
