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. 😊
okk i will be here through its entirety
These are by far the best kanji learning resource I’ve tried. The historical evolution is so cool, I’ve been curious about it ever since I started learning Japanese.
Interesting, the fire kanji I always knew was fire since reading Naruto as a kid. Knowing nothing of Japanese, and by extension kanji, I always assumed it was flames licking out from a pile of wood. Kanji continues to surprise me in new and interesting ways! Which makes me want to learn it even more.
I love your Kanji series, it really allows me to absorb the writing strokes and how to remember it
Just want to say thanks and I’m very appreciative for what you do on this channel. You single-handedly taught me Genki 1 and some of Genki 2. Im officially in japan now for 3 weeks and putting it to good use!
Visiting Japan is on my bucket list. I hope to one day, as you yourself said, put everything I've learned from ToKini Andy to use.
I already know those kanji but this series is so useful for beginners! It helped me with learning radicals haha
I'm using an app and it doesn't explain radicals so when it brings up a quiz question asking for a radical, I'm completely clueless. ToKini Andy made this a lot easier that's for sure.
knowing myself, the one kanji i will never forget is the "rocking like boat" one you said nobody knows. The more useless trivia is, the easier I remember it.
Great series, but I do find the order you've chosen to teach the kanji a little peculiar. Given that we had 日, 月, 火, I'd expect the following ones to be 水, 木, 金, and 土 to have the kanji for the weekdays in order (obviously missing 曜 as it's way more complicated)
"hetsuhotsu" is kind of interesting as it is so rare that it's not even a part of the Kanji Kentei material, but it's weird enough to earn it some level of notoriety
This has been an amazing series so far. Keep up the great work.
I really really like the way of your teaching. Thank you Andi Sensei!
i love the stories - while i already know these kanji, i suspect the stories will help as these evolve into more and more complex kanji. Thank you!
Thank you for your dedication and commitment in what you do. Thank you for your help. Thank you
Fire I remember because I think sparks around a fireplace. Water I remember because I think of 7-Up when I look at it. That one doesn't make sense, but that's just how I've remembered it. Memorization is fairly easy for me but putting them together in a sentence is a challenge. One day I hope I can just read Japanese at a speed that I can in English.
What version of Genki do you review in your course? I will get that version and subscribe… Best, John
We generally focus on the 3rd edition of Genki 1 and 2, but any edition is really fine. Thanks for your interest. 😊
@@ToKiniAndy Well, I just ordered Genki 3, workbook and answer key. My tutor , who at first had me on “ Japanese For Busy People, decided that Genki might be better for me. Hope it works… I think I bought every book on Japanese available… I’m all over the place… I need one plan of attack… I enjoy your videos and I will be joining your course. Best, John
@@johnnacke4134 I have Genki 2. It's what helped me learn the alphabet.
There we go - changed my display name to match the discord 🤠
🎉
Which lesson is んですform in genki?
for some reason i cant join the discord?
I've been taught that 土 is soil or earth, not dirt.
🤙
How’d you get the green stamp by your username?
Quick question. What is Kanken
Kanken or 漢検 is a kanji proficiency test that native Japanese people take. There are 10 levels (with 2 extra), and most people don't go past Pre-2nd level.
Oh and if you have THREE trees it becomes a forest ;)
Well, as a soil scientist, I hatr calling soil dirt...it is soil..
It has a different form wen it is a part of a kanji
You probably mean the kanji for fire 火. I don't know if Andy will teach that, but it does indeed take another writing when it is a radical: 灬
