But guess what I didn't learned anything.

Kanji are great. They're a memory burden, for sure, but once you're into the groove, they make reading very fast. Now... if I had to give a weakness of kanji, i would say "typing" before the invention of digital typing. I heard that an experienced typist could reach two words a minute. Oof
Am I the only person that actually enjoys learning kanji? Spending 30 minutes to 1 hour a day writing and reviewing kanji is honestly relaxing. And by learning kanji, I feel like I’m strengthening my vocabulary. I occasionally forget vocabulary, but if I know the kanji for it, I’ll pretty much never forget it.
@@TokyoXtreme Exactly. With the right method you can gain full mastery very fast. And the more you read (e.g. internet articles, books, visual novels), the faster you learn. This is equally true for native speakers and foreigners alike.
Hey guys, don’t give up! Be open minded like a child. They get excited to learn kanji as it literally opens up a new world. Consider it like ART! Because it is! And it is fun to enter into a new world surrounded by art and how they are interconnected in your everyday life. 😍 Yes, really like children who find such beauty and excitement in learning new. It’s really like open a treasure chest of new adventures. 💡🎊🔑
Couldn't agree more. I am so impressed with japanese.everyday I am learning something new about about Japan and their culture. It drives me to learn more. .
A tip to learn Japanese: try to force yourself to remember at least 80% of the kanji in 1 month. You don’t need to write, don’t need to learn kun or on, just the meaning of the kanji. When you be able to recognize the kanji and you know the kanji meaning, you can know about 70-80% of the kanji words without actually know them. That’s how Chinese people learn Japanese. The only thing they know is the meaning of the kanji and they can get N2 or even N1 if they lucky after 2-3 months learning the basic of Japanese grammar.
I agree. Most people give up learning kanji because they try to learn EVERYTHING at once for every kanji. I am learning 30 kanji a day, by just memorizing the meaning. It's been 15 days, I already know 450 kanji. From these 450, usually I forget 10 of them, which I review with more frequency. I learned this method (which uses the Heisig method as well) from a website called Nihongo Shark. This method makes it way easier, because the reward of learning comes quicker, so you feel motivated. Of course you're gonna need to learn the on and kun of all the kanji later, but at that point, you will already be able to understand much more, and the learning processes of what is left becomes way easier, since you already know the meaning of all of them. Just think: if you memorize 30 kanji a day, only their meaning, it takes only 3 months to go through all 2500 kanji. You'll feel much more motivated, and knowing their meaning, you can study easier by reading manga, books and etc, so everything after that will be less painful to learn.
I'm more practical oriented and learn kanjis just right when I learn vocabulary. So my flash cards look like this (Front) word in Kanji , (back) how the word is read, meaning. With that I can recognise the word when I encounter it in books. I also use Wanikani, which works with mnemonics, which is a great for remember kanjis even better. There's also a reverse website for it named Kaniwani, I use it to practice to write kanjis. (It asks you to write a word in Japanese and shows you the English one. So all you do on the website is type in the word in kana, so I just write the kanji on paper and check then if I wrote it right. It's a good way to practice writing.) I would feel just learning the meaning is too isolated. Also it feels weird if you know the meaning of a word, but can't read it. (But sure I learn now for years, so maybe your method is a faster approach I don't know.) How will you later learn the readings?
@@Jeolmu Yeah, it is a little bit weird knowing the meaning but not being able to read most of them, but the fact that you can understand the meaning of many sentences since the beginning, is very rewarding. About the reading part, I feel, at least for me, that it becomes so much easier to memorize the reading when I encounter the kanji afterwards, in a book, manga or apps like duolingo. My thinking for learning this way was: my brother is learning japanese for 5 years. And like many others who work and don't have much time to study, he is going real slow. Sometimes he skips classes for months, and forget a lot of stuff. He told me last week, that, in 5 years, he learned only 600 kanji. (meaning and reading) Then I thought: I learned 550 kanji (meaning only), in 22 days or something. I guess it is worthy it. The reading you can pick up easily while reading manga, translating your favorite japanese songs, studying grammar, etc. I think it is important for beginners to have a "quick start" like this, so you get excited and is less likely to give up. But everyone should try and find the method that suits best his/her way of learning.
Same ... 😄 I don't how many times I've drawn for instance Shinkansen on my notebooks. Does not make sense at all to spend time that way (since after all for all intents and purposes it's enough to be able to read end understand a word in kanji - writing by hand is very rarely done even for Japanese, I guess). But drawing them with a good pen is almost meditation..
Actually yeah, is easier than everyone thinks. After a few hundred kanjis you start to recognize the patterns, you can even guess the reading of a kanji because of the components it is written with. You just need the correct approach :)
I used a similar book to this one. I learned enough Japanese to become a Japanese translator and I SUGGEST as a tip for kanji to make photocopies of those pages such as those seen at 1:54. Then tape them to walls around the home in places where you stand around and you can have a few minutes to study them such as in the bathroom where you might brush your teeth, in the kitchen where you stand around to make food, etc., and even tape one of the sheets in the shower so you can study while you are just standing there washing yourself. Flashcards are good, too, but you have to set aside extra time to handle the cards and quiz yourself. By taping these kanji photocopies, on the other hand, you don't really have to set aside extra time to study, but, instead, you make use of the time you are just standing around the house. A few minutes at a time add up to great learning.
I suppose the "50,000 kanji" figure came from Morohashi's Dai Kanwa Jiten. I never heard of 200,000 kanji (hanzi) though. Where does that figure come from? I don't think it's fair to include the Vietnamese ones.
Yes! It's very useful. I met a Japanese exchange student once and we conversed through writing. Even though the words are pronounced differently and I can't speak Japanese nor could they speak Chinese/English, we still understood each other.
yeah and my native language isnt english so it motivates me knowing that i memorised many many words. ik its not the same thing but its still motivating.
Everyone is scared off Kanji, but learned them is literally my favourite part! They are incredibly beautiful and every character is an artwork by itself. Love love love
knowing Latin letters by default: haha, 26 symbols, very easy studying the Russian alphabet: 33 symbols, easy mate studying hiragana and katakana: around 100 symbols for syllables, I guess, I can manage looking at kanji: thousands of symbols of "nope"
@@appleslover the things is once you learned kanji you technically learn most chinese but it's kinda both way since kanji is borrowed chinese word. I kinda hate it though I like the alphabet system that make few symbols into multiple word than every word has it own kanji
@@carval51 Actually, Japanese is one of the easiest languages to learn, IMO, exactly because it uses kanji / Chinese characters. They make retaining vocabulary much easier. I've studied 8 languages, and English and Japanese are the only ones I managed to master (without much difficulty, too). Also, there are only about 2000 kanji. People generally know around 20,000~30,000 words regardless of language. So there are definitely way more words than kanji (which is exactly why kanji make learning Japanese so much easier than it would be without them).
Even we Japanese start learning kanji from the first grade of elementary school, and it takes about 10 years to learn the regular kanji little by little. I'm 28 years old now, but there are many Kanji I can't read or write except for the regular kanji. Each kanji has a meaning behind its form. It's interesting to learn about that, too.
Thank you for encouraging people to learn Japanese. Learning kanji should be fun! Even native speakers of Japanese find it fun to discover roots of kanji.
I feel like with learning a new language, practicing it with people who can speak it fluently will greatly help with memorization and the meaning of words.
This is good actually. This is much more natural than picking them up without context as single characters since they have multiple meanings and readings!
As a Chinese person... it reminds me of my childhood textbook which just a ton of words and very little supporting text...They just want you to repeat each character without questioning them...because it's the mother language. So much pain. We have to learn about 2000 characters per year...The basic character learning usually finished in the early years of elementary school and then moving on to using them... Learning kanji is hard and for Japanese people still using kanji, you have my respect.
Hi. I got a few more. On Amazon, about 30$-40$. I sell for 110$ including calligraphy, stationery item and shipping as it’s hard to find. Have a good day :)
ordered the book right after i saw this video. i already know the reading and meaning of about 500 kanji (been working hard for 7 months now) but i think i can only write 5 from memory, so this book will definitely be helpful for me. thank you so much for the recommendation!
I started to learn Japanese something about 3 years ago. I'm learning on my own too. And I know 1 meaby 2 or 3 kanji, so.... Don't worry 😂😂😂 be happy 😅

I like having the pdf to ref on the go and the dictionary is nice too but necessary(?). The introduction of the kanji are nicely placed and orderly while the mnemonics help to build stories for the radicals & misc parts. Enjoy!
i'm glad i found your channel T-T after seeing your videos it motivates me to study Japanese more i actually started to study Japanese 5 years ago but i always stops and that's why my Japanese isn't that good ,i was just so depressed that i dropped doing everything thanks to you i feel i want to do many things now ..
I lived in Japan for 11yrs and never had the chance to master speaking Nihongo [only enjoyed the food, culture, and shopping]. Now, i can binge on your channel and play catch up. Cheers'
I'm currently working on a dictionary containing 1859 non-Joyo Kanjis, which allows you to know 4000 Kanjis if you already know the 2141 Joyo Kanjis (including the ones which have been removed). I'm doing it in French first, but I'm planning to translate it afterwards. By the way, if you want to learn more Kanjis, the lists to 6000 go like this : - Joyo Kanjis - Jinmei Kanjis - Kanji Kentei Level pre 1 - Kanji Kentei Level 1
This video popped up today in my timeline 😃 I just ordered the book to continue learning and drawing Kanji 📖 🎁 I have one in German with a similar structure. Thank you 🙏🏽
Looks pretty good overall but what I don't really like is that it has some rōmaji (wastes space and doesn't let you focus on the kana/furigana). Have you checked both The Kodansha Kanji Learner's Course and The Kodansha Kanji Learner's Dictionary?
Hi. I see what you’re saying. Me personally like the vocabulary going with the kanji, and it’s all 2500 in 1 book which is rare here in Japan cause they divide elementary school kanji from junior high. I just searched them. Wow looks like a book I want. The method they use is grate. Not everyone would wanna study that way but it works. Thanks to you it’s on my wishlist now ✨L
I study mandarin, just memorize the meaning of the characters or Japanese kanji, don't waste your time trying to figure each radical out. This is a method I used to pass unit test full of who knows how much Chinese characters. It's memorization. Training your brain with different memorization methods like the memory palace is good to practice, so you can learn more efficiently and faster. The more you practice those methods the faster you get. I have friends who try to break down kanji to the core, just memorize the whole character.
I agree. Also Chinese words are arranged in a logical way. As you learn more Chinese characters, you can literally guess the meaning of the words. Most of the characters themselves have limited number of meanings (or 1 core meaning) then it is matter of arranging characters together
I teach in Japan, and many students tell me the same. But if you don’t write it then you’ll probably just be able to read and type kanji ☕️ Have a good day :)
Oh. I haven't even heard about the book. Thx for sharing. I have been using Genki plus and learn 100 kanji with it, but having such a big book is way more better. It's like a long journey =)
I started studying japanese alone in home.I knew how kanji worked in theory from the get go.What i did was once i was comfortable enough with hiragana i just started watching japanese videos on youtube with japanese subtitles,copying down the kanji and searching each one individually what it means and how you draw it.I ended up learning about 150 kanji from that alone and being able to guess some more i also learned katakana this way (i had skipped them previously and within a month doing this i just knew all the kana).
It’s good but I don’t solely recommend learning single kanji as they’re not really used for words by themselves. It’s better to try 日本語単語スペードマスター because it has words used from every day to advanced n1
It's kind of crazy. You struggle so hard and so long to get good at understanding basic things, then you get good at everyday things. Then you go deeper than you did in your own first language. You can learn anything with Japanese.
thanks for showing this, i might buy this book tomorrow when i get paid. i don't know if i'll have a lot of use for it since i have the internet but i like having a physical thing i can reference, it feels more real, even if i don't rely on it primarily.
I have kanji reference books myself (similar to the one in the video, but I just use the Midori dictionary app on my phone to look up words. Just another advantage of learning how to write kanji through RTK: you can look up compounds insanely fast through the drawing interface, without having to look back-and-forth to the kanji and the screen to make sure it’s right.
I’ve been living abroad for over 15 years and I REALLY forgot how to write kanji even the easy ones. Reading is totally fine as I read/watch Japanese news everyday. When I went back to japan last year I had to fill out some documents at the airport and I really couldn’t remember many of kanji so I had to google to remember haha. Hard to remember but easy to forget if you don’t use daily...
If you use a system like Heisig’s RTK and work through it by actually writing the characters down during review, the majority of them will become literally unforgettable. Years could pass with no exposure, and you’d still be able to write them from memory.
I'll flex here and say I learned 2202 kanji meanings in like 4-5 months with RTK (16 kanji per day). Safe to say, I don't regret it. Kanji is very useful if you know it because you could totally not know pronunciation, but knowing meanings can help deduce the point of a given text.
Investing the time into RTK makes all the kanji that you encounter in the wild into “comprehensible input”. There is immense value in knowing what a bulletin board or newspaper headline is conveying, even if you can’t pronounce the characters out loud. Hours later you can easily look up the word in a dictionary, because you remembered the keywords that made up the compounds. Kanji vocab flashcards become much easier as well, as there are built-in mnemonics already. Another less often talked-about benefit of RTK is that you will “know what you don’t know”. So if you finish all 2200 of the 常用漢字 and you see 涅槃, you will know right away that those two characters aren’t amongst the 2200 that you’ve studied.
Got this book a week ago and am loving it. I’ll be finished with school in a couple months so I’m planning to fully commit to learning then. Even now, though, I still love just browsing through it. Very neat and compact. Learning a couple words in the meantime every now and then is easy. Some would call it pricey for a book but for the amount of content, it is definitely worth it for any Japanese learner, especially beginners like me.
I know only about 200 kanji by learning in 2 years and there r 300 missing like u said to understand the most part of the Japanese newspaper... Thanks for the video Bro ✌️
The issue with kanji is that the symbol represents a whole word and there's no way u can pronounce it using "letters" as in arabic or english, meaning that u will have to remember the word as it is and no chance of forming it via "sound for each single letter", I can make sense of hiragan and katakana and from words just like english, but the moment i got to kanji, it is just one way to go, remember how to draw the symbol and attach it to the full pronunciation.
@@dat_boi_murphy i agree with u, yet when it goes to Standard Arabic, it is close to what we speak but the differences between the dialects and standard arabic are noticeable indeed, on the other hand if u speak Standard Arabic, u will be able to communicate with any Arabic speaker in any Arabic country, while Dialects can bring issues, unless u speak Egyptian Arabic and Saudi Arabic.
I learned japanese for 5 years intensively, including minor subject at university. I was a very good learner and passed N4, I was motivated for N3. However I have a family now with kids... So I paused for a longer time. STILL! Whenever my life will get some weekly routine, I try to come back learning again! I have bought exercise books for N3... Bur I realized I need to start learning grammar and kanji again from N5/ N4. This might happen, but I will never give up!
Japan is such a tiny country. It's a waste of time. Or if there is no better use of time, use it all. To each their own. Learn all the kanji. Wont do you any good, other what's commonly used, and no one cares.
@@ThePresentation010 tiny country? WELL, it might look tiny in the world map in that ocean, but it is bigger than you think... :D Also, I am member of german-japanese club in my city, sometimes new japanese people need some help here while settling down. As someone who is from Oktoberfest city (Munich) I have QUITE some contact with japanese people, so yes my own business :D
I started learning hiragana this quarantine but I am not able to memorize all characters because I gave up, but sometimes while watching anime I can read a few words even though I don't understand the meaning. I guess I should continue studying since my dad learned japanese (but he didn't studied about kanji) he gave me his japanese hiragana and katakana dictionary, character charts and study notes but he didn't have the kanji dictionary. So he said to me "Learn the basics first before you go learning kanji" so maybe in the future I will buy that kanji dictionary in the video. Wish me luck to learn Japanese.
All of the best! I’m creating the best Hiragana, Katakana and Kanji books now. But yes, just keep going and don’t stop. The mindset is more important than the books 📚
Just ordered! Without even watching the video) Looked up how it looks and its description - must be worthy of it. I also consider buying Kanji flash cards by White Rabbit. However, now I guess the boon will be even better. アドバイスありがとうございます.
No not really, that’s a waste of time and paper imo. Just put them onto an SRS like Anki, way much better, less time consuming, and saves the environment.
Me: Ohhhh, It looks so good, I think I'll buy it Looking at the price*** Me again: Okay, nevermind, I didn't want it anyways It costs more than 500 Brazilian reais, it's like half of a minimum salary ;-;
thanks alot for this video! this year july i plan to give jlpt n3. im sure this book will definitely help learn snd getting good mark in test! ほんまにありがとうございます！😊
I feel this book is a little bit too complex for beginers since it gives them all the meanings all at the same time, so I will personally recommend more the book: Remebering the Kanji since it is way mire beginer friendly and teaches the Kanji in a very logical order.
RTK is good but there are downsides. It's all or nothing as the Kanjis are introduced by primitives instead of frequency and finishing RTK can take months, even then you don't know any readings. So its a big commitment that's not for everyone. My approach is to learn 50 Kanji/day to get it done ASAP!!!
Though I have it, I personally don’t like RTK with my current schedule going. I think people who want to master jouyou kanji before coming to Japan can set some time aside and focus on just that, but as for me living here, I prefer other methods. All of the best ☕️👍
@@DanneoYT you might not know pronunciation, but you will have a very clear understanding of kanji encountered in newspapers, signage, menus, or manga, which is invaluable if you actually live in Japan (or immerse yourself at home). If you study English etymology, even passively, and you encounter the word “ophthalmologist”… then you’d know it meant “eye doctor”, even if you can’t pronounce it. And then later when you see “optometrist”, you’d know that it’s someone who “measures eyes”, so probably a person who checks the state of your vision.
@@TokyoXtreme These days I learn words so I can barely remember any meaning of individual kanji. When reading, there no time to dissect each kanji. RTK was only helpful in helping me ‘see’ kanji but not worth learning 2000 English keywords for that…

A tip to learn Japanese: try to force yourself to remember at least 80% of the kanji in 1 month. You don’t need to write, don’t need to learn kun or on, just the meaning of the kanji. When you be able to recognize the kanji and you know the kanji meaning, you can know about 70-80% of the kanji words without actually know them. That’s how Chinese people learn Japanese. The only thing they know is the meaning of the kanji and they can get N2 or even N1 if they lucky after 2-3 months learning the basic of Japanese grammar.
It works if you want to just recognize things, but pays off in the future. Thanks for sharing ✨📚
I agree. Most people give up learning kanji because they try to learn EVERYTHING at once for every kanji.
I am learning 30 kanji a day, by just memorizing the meaning. It's been 15 days, I already know 450 kanji. From these 450, usually I forget 10 of them, which I review with more frequency. I learned this method (which uses the Heisig method as well) from a website called Nihongo Shark.
This method makes it way easier, because the reward of learning comes quicker, so you feel motivated.
Of course you're gonna need to learn the on and kun of all the kanji later, but at that point, you will already be able to understand much more, and the learning processes of what is left becomes way easier, since you already know the meaning of all of them.
Just think: if you memorize 30 kanji a day, only their meaning, it takes only 3 months to go through all 2500 kanji. You'll feel much more motivated, and knowing their meaning, you can study easier by reading manga, books and etc, so everything after that will be less painful to learn.
I'm more practical oriented and learn kanjis just right when I learn vocabulary. So my flash cards look like this (Front) word in Kanji , (back) how the word is read, meaning. With that I can recognise the word when I encounter it in books.
I also use Wanikani, which works with mnemonics, which is a great for remember kanjis even better. There's also a reverse website for it named Kaniwani, I use it to practice to write kanjis. (It asks you to write a word in Japanese and shows you the English one. So all you do on the website is type in the word in kana, so I just write the kanji on paper and check then if I wrote it right. It's a good way to practice writing.)
I would feel just learning the meaning is too isolated. Also it feels weird if you know the meaning of a word, but can't read it. (But sure I learn now for years, so maybe your method is a faster approach I don't know.)
How will you later learn the readings?
80% of 2500 are 2000 Kanji. That means around 67Kanji a day? How can you achieve that without a photographic memory? Do you guys study full time?
@@Jeolmu Yeah, it is a little bit weird knowing the meaning but not being able to read most of them, but the fact that you can understand the meaning of many sentences since the beginning, is very rewarding.
About the reading part, I feel, at least for me, that it becomes so much easier to memorize the reading when I encounter the kanji afterwards, in a book, manga or apps like duolingo.
My thinking for learning this way was: my brother is learning japanese for 5 years. And like many others who work and don't have much time to study, he is going real slow. Sometimes he skips classes for months, and forget a lot of stuff. He told me last week, that, in 5 years, he learned only 600 kanji. (meaning and reading) Then I thought: I learned 550 kanji (meaning only), in 22 days or something. I guess it is worthy it. The reading you can pick up easily while reading manga, translating your favorite japanese songs, studying grammar, etc. I think it is important for beginners to have a "quick start" like this, so you get excited and is less likely to give up.
But everyone should try and find the method that suits best his/her way of learning.
What makes learning Chinese, Japanese, and Korean fun for me is that the writing system feels more like drawing.
Me too
Same ... 😄 I don't how many times I've drawn for instance Shinkansen on my notebooks. Does not make sense at all to spend time that way (since after all for all intents and purposes it's enough to be able to read end understand a word in kanji - writing by hand is very rarely done even for Japanese, I guess). But drawing them with a good pen is almost meditation..
Serious respect to all of you guys who are learning Japanese. That’s a real big book with real thin pages.
Thanks on behalf of everyone ✔️👍
Your handwriting is so beautiful
Oh. Thanks! :) 🌟 Didn’t expect that ☕️
How hard can it be? Its like learning some new vocabulary.
*RIGHT!?*
RIGHT ;P
Concord when you forget that you also need to learn haganai and katakana as well
Actually yeah, is easier than everyone thinks. After a few hundred kanjis you start to recognize the patterns, you can even guess the reading of a kanji because of the components it is written with. You just need the correct approach :)
@@Verheerender what do you mean? You mean the words in hiragana and katakana?
Yeah it actually is. At least if you just want to recognise the words.
I used a similar book to this one. I learned enough Japanese to become a Japanese translator and I SUGGEST as a tip for kanji to make photocopies of those pages such as those seen at 1:54. Then tape them to walls around the home in places where you stand around and you can have a few minutes to study them such as in the bathroom where you might brush your teeth, in the kitchen where you stand around to make food, etc., and even tape one of the sheets in the shower so you can study while you are just standing there washing yourself. Flashcards are good, too, but you have to set aside extra time to handle the cards and quiz yourself. By taping these kanji photocopies, on the other hand, you don't really have to set aside extra time to study, but, instead, you make use of the time you are just standing around the house. A few minutes at a time add up to great learning.
Amazing method and I totally agree. Thanks for sharing. I could use this comment for a video. All of the best :>
It is said that the number of kanji characters is about 50,000 which is impossible to remember all of them, so we Japanese learn Joyo-Kanji.
so what is Joyo-Kanji? I'm curious
1:11 about Joyo-Kanji
Jōyō-Kanji are kanji that are indispensable for living a social life in Japan.
sorry for my poor English.😓
The number of kanji characters is 85 000 in the most big chinese dictionary. Actually today are existing more than 200 000 kanji characters.
@@Gr95dc, joyo kanji is a list of the most necessary kanjis for everyday social life, and it consists of more than 2000 characters.
I suppose the "50,000 kanji" figure came from Morohashi's Dai Kanwa Jiten. I never heard of 200,000 kanji (hanzi) though. Where does that figure come from? I don't think it's fair to include the Vietnamese ones.
For me, who speak fluent Chinese, kanji are the easy part of learning Japanese 😂
I was just about to say that! Traditional Mandrin makes this stuff look easy!
So lucky
Well, you might get away with Recognition but I doubt you'll have a fun time with Pronunciation and and Kanji combinations.
Yes! It's very useful. I met a Japanese exchange student once and we conversed through writing. Even though the words are pronounced differently and I can't speak Japanese nor could they speak Chinese/English, we still understood each other.
Although 7,000 kanji seems daunting, just remember there’s around 171,000 English words. I know they’re not the same tho
Well I'm sure if you compare the number of Japanese words you'll have a similar number
Awesome avatar
yeah and my native language isnt english so it motivates me knowing that i memorised many many words. ik its not the same thing but its still motivating.
@@_peky__1140 what’s your native language?
@@chicoti3 true, I was just meaning like memorizing the kanji symbols and associating them with a word and sounds
Everyone is scared off Kanji, but learned them is literally my favourite part!
They are incredibly beautiful and every character is an artwork by itself. Love love love
ありがたいことだなー
こんなに日本を、日本語を
そこに使われる漢字を愛してくれて…
knowing Latin letters by default: haha, 26 symbols, very easy
studying the Russian alphabet: 33 symbols, easy mate
studying hiragana and katakana: around 100 symbols for syllables, I guess, I can manage
looking at kanji: thousands of symbols of "nope"
Learning chinese would be the hardest task in your life then
@@appleslover the things is once you learned kanji you technically learn most chinese but it's kinda both way since kanji is borrowed chinese word. I kinda hate it though I like the alphabet system that make few symbols into multiple word than every word has it own kanji
Wait till they find out what Chinese is...
@@carval51 Actually, Japanese is one of the easiest languages to learn, IMO, exactly because it uses kanji / Chinese characters. They make retaining vocabulary much easier. I've studied 8 languages, and English and Japanese are the only ones I managed to master (without much difficulty, too).
Also, there are only about 2000 kanji. People generally know around 20,000~30,000 words regardless of language. So there are definitely way more words than kanji (which is exactly why kanji make learning Japanese so much easier than it would be without them).
@@VVayVVard compared to what? I was comparing to english
Even we Japanese start learning kanji from the first grade of elementary school, and it takes about 10 years to learn the regular kanji little by little. I'm 28 years old now, but there are many Kanji I can't read or write except for the regular kanji. Each kanji has a meaning behind its form. It's interesting to learn about that, too.
I totally agree. It’s a long rewarding journey:)
Have a good week!

Thank you for encouraging people to learn Japanese. Learning kanji should be fun! Even native speakers of Japanese find it fun to discover roots of kanji.
You’re welcome:) I love Japanese so I’ll always encourage people to learn it. 🌸 L
Why am I watching this when I'm not even at kanji yet. Also, this seems like a great book and I want to get it when I start learning kanji. Thank you!
You’re welcome :)
right?? i’m still in hiragana, but this video seems rlly helpful anyways
I feel like with learning a new language, practicing it with people who can speak it fluently will greatly help with memorization and the meaning of words.
I just learn kanji accidentally while learning new words.
And I learn new words with kanji since just memorizing individual kanji can throw off nuances in meaning when in compound words
I learned too many on accident 😭
This is good actually. This is much more natural than picking them up without context as single characters since they have multiple meanings and readings!
@@Cosmicgardening But doing both is more efficient
@@moyamoya2886 That’s... a good way to learn kanji tho
Daily 2kanji for 4 years and you are the master in kanji.. persistence is the key

Hahah I got about 50 comments today but yours was making me laugh the most. Thanks :) ☕️
Sameee haha
As a Chinese person... it reminds me of my childhood textbook which just a ton of words and very little supporting text...They just want you to repeat each character without questioning them...because it's the mother language. So much pain. We have to learn about 2000 characters per year...The basic character learning usually finished in the early years of elementary school and then moving on to using them...
Learning kanji is hard and for Japanese people still using kanji, you have my respect.

I'm currently working on a dictionary containing 1859 non-Joyo Kanjis, which allows you to know 4000 Kanjis if you already know the 2141 Joyo Kanjis (including the ones which have been removed).
I'm doing it in French first, but I'm planning to translate it afterwards.
By the way, if you want to learn more Kanjis, the lists to 6000 go like this :
- Joyo Kanjis
- Jinmei Kanjis
- Kanji Kentei Level pre 1
- Kanji Kentei Level 1
Sounds interesting!
Kanji is like ART

Beautiful video! Thank you for sharing it 👏👏👏👏👏 That sounds like a great plan^^ ありがとうございまして！
I think 2500 Kanji can cover 95% of the content in Chinese newspapers. so if you know 2500 Kanji, you can read Chinese as well I guess.

This video popped up today in my timeline 😃 I just ordered the book to continue learning and drawing Kanji 📖 🎁 I have one in German with a similar structure. Thank you 🙏🏽
Looks pretty good overall but what I don't really like is that it has some rōmaji (wastes space and doesn't let you focus on the kana/furigana).
Have you checked both The Kodansha Kanji Learner's Course and The Kodansha Kanji Learner's Dictionary?
Hi. I see what you’re saying. Me personally like the vocabulary going with the kanji, and it’s all 2500 in 1 book which is rare here in Japan cause they divide elementary school kanji from junior high.
I just searched them. Wow looks like a book I want. The method they use is grate. Not everyone would wanna study that way but it works.

As a chinese, i am proud to say that i learn it all.......
I study mandarin, just memorize the meaning of the characters or Japanese kanji, don't waste your time trying to figure each radical out. This is a method I used to pass unit test full of who knows how much Chinese characters. It's memorization. Training your brain with different memorization methods like the memory palace is good to practice, so you can learn more efficiently and faster. The more you practice those methods the faster you get. I have friends who try to break down kanji to the core, just memorize the whole character.
I agree. Also Chinese words are arranged in a logical way. As you learn more Chinese characters, you can literally guess the meaning of the words. Most of the characters themselves have limited number of meanings (or 1 core meaning) then it is matter of arranging characters together
I bought the book and it is very nice. I invites you to learn / study the kanji.
We Japanese are forced to write kanjis thousands of times when we are children.
That was one of the worst homework to me😂
I teach in Japan, and many students tell me the same. But if you don’t write it then you’ll probably just be able to read and type kanji ☕️ Have a good day :)

“If you just remember all of these kanji...”
Well let me just quickly do that 😐
Oh. I haven't even heard about the book. Thx for sharing. I have been using Genki plus and learn 100 kanji with it, but having such a big book is way more better. It's like a long journey =)
I started studying japanese alone in home.I knew how kanji worked in theory from the get go.What i did was once i was comfortable enough with hiragana i just started watching japanese videos on youtube with japanese subtitles,copying down the kanji and searching each one individually what it means and how you draw it.I ended up learning about 150 kanji from that alone and being able to guess some more i also learned katakana this way (i had skipped them previously and within a month doing this i just knew all the kana).
This is a great reference book, I have an earlier edition of it that has a slightly different title
It’s good but I don’t solely recommend learning single kanji as they’re not really used for words by themselves.
It’s better to try 日本語単語スペードマスター because it has words used from every day to advanced n1

You’re welcome :>
I have kanji reference books myself (similar to the one in the video, but I just use the Midori dictionary app on my phone to look up words. Just another advantage of learning how to write kanji through RTK: you can look up compounds insanely fast through the drawing interface, without having to look back-and-forth to the kanji and the screen to make sure it’s right.
I just bought it and it's really well written
I’ve been living abroad for over 15 years and I REALLY forgot how to write kanji even the easy ones. Reading is totally fine as I read/watch Japanese news everyday. When I went back to japan last year I had to fill out some documents at the airport and I really couldn’t remember many of kanji so I had to google to remember haha. Hard to remember but easy to forget if you don’t use daily...
If you use a system like Heisig’s RTK and work through it by actually writing the characters down during review, the majority of them will become literally unforgettable. Years could pass with no exposure, and you’d still be able to write them from memory.
英語での漢字ブック！新鮮だったです❣️
アカ下さい蜩は二課！
I'll flex here and say I learned 2202 kanji meanings in like 4-5 months with RTK (16 kanji per day). Safe to say, I don't regret it. Kanji is very useful if you know it because you could totally not know pronunciation, but knowing meanings can help deduce the point of a given text.
Investing the time into RTK makes all the kanji that you encounter in the wild into “comprehensible input”. There is immense value in knowing what a bulletin board or newspaper headline is conveying, even if you can’t pronounce the characters out loud. Hours later you can easily look up the word in a dictionary, because you remembered the keywords that made up the compounds. Kanji vocab flashcards become much easier as well, as there are built-in mnemonics already. Another less often talked-about benefit of RTK is that you will “know what you don’t know”. So if you finish all 2200 of the 常用漢字 and you see 涅槃, you will know right away that those two characters aren’t amongst the 2200 that you’ve studied.

Thanks for the video Bro ✌️
I actually already had this book before I watched your video, so I made the right purchase!
The issue with kanji is that the symbol represents a whole word and there's no way u can pronounce it using "letters" as in arabic or english, meaning that u will have to remember the word as it is and no chance of forming it via "sound for each single letter", I can make sense of hiragan and katakana and from words just like english, but the moment i got to kanji, it is just one way to go, remember how to draw the symbol and attach it to the full pronunciation.
@@dat_boi_murphy i agree with u, yet when it goes to Standard Arabic, it is close to what we speak but the differences between the dialects and standard arabic are noticeable indeed, on the other hand if u speak Standard Arabic, u will be able to communicate with any Arabic speaker in any Arabic country, while Dialects can bring issues, unless u speak Egyptian Arabic and Saudi Arabic.
I learned japanese for 5 years intensively, including minor subject at university. I was a very good learner and passed N4, I was motivated for N3.
However I have a family now with kids... So I paused for a longer time.
STILL! Whenever my life will get some weekly routine, I try to come back learning again!
I have bought exercise books for N3... Bur I realized I need to start learning grammar and kanji again from N5/ N4. This might happen, but I will never give up!
All of the best :) Small steps over time = big results
Japan is such a tiny country. It's a waste of time.
Or if there is no better use of time, use it all. To each their own.
Learn all the kanji. Wont do you any good, other what's commonly used, and no one cares.
@@ThePresentation010 tiny country?
WELL, it might look tiny in the world map in that ocean, but it is bigger than you think... :D
Also, I am member of german-japanese club in my city, sometimes new japanese people need some help here while settling down. As someone who is from Oktoberfest city (Munich) I have QUITE some contact with japanese people, so yes my own business :D

I started learning hiragana this quarantine but I am not able to memorize all characters because I gave up, but sometimes while watching anime I can read a few words even though I don't understand the meaning. I guess I should continue studying since my dad learned japanese (but he didn't studied about kanji) he gave me his japanese hiragana and katakana dictionary, character charts and study notes but he didn't have the kanji dictionary. So he said to me "Learn the basics first before you go learning kanji" so maybe in the future I will buy that kanji dictionary in the video. Wish me luck to learn Japanese.

Hello and thank you for this GREAT recommendation! I have placed my Amazon order. :)
I feel this book is a little bit too complex for beginers since it gives them all the meanings all at the same time, so I will personally recommend more the book: Remebering the Kanji since it is way mire beginer friendly and teaches the Kanji in a very logical order.
:)
RTK is good but there are downsides. It's all or nothing as the Kanjis are introduced by primitives instead of frequency and finishing RTK can take months, even then you don't know any readings. So its a big commitment that's not for everyone. My approach is to learn 50 Kanji/day to get it done ASAP!!!
Though I have it, I personally don’t like RTK with my current schedule going. I think people who want to master jouyou kanji before coming to Japan can set some time aside and focus on just that, but as for me living here, I prefer other methods. All of the best ☕️👍
@@DanneoYT you might not know pronunciation, but you will have a very clear understanding of kanji encountered in newspapers, signage, menus, or manga, which is invaluable if you actually live in Japan (or immerse yourself at home). If you study English etymology, even passively, and you encounter the word “ophthalmologist”… then you’d know it meant “eye doctor”, even if you can’t pronounce it. And then later when you see “optometrist”, you’d know that it’s someone who “measures eyes”, so probably a person who checks the state of your vision.
@@TokyoXtreme These days I learn words so I can barely remember any meaning of individual kanji. When reading, there no time to dissect each kanji.
RTK was only helpful in helping me ‘see’ kanji but not worth learning 2000 English keywords for that…
This is amazing! Congrats on 85,000 views.
