First of all your hints for stater learners are really good and on point except of one that I whole-hearty disagree :) I can't help myself... almost every single showing of you writing in Japanese (hiragana/kanji) shows a complete wrong stroke order and it hurts my eyes so much :(. I would suggest everyone who is starting - 100% to look up for stroke order. You don't need to memorize it 100% but at some point you can draw kanji without looking up for the stroke order (Yes there is a specific rules, that cover 95% of how to correct draw ANY kanji even the ones see first time). And, Yes, this will help tremendously in memorizing stuff. The best way is to actually look for some Japanese calligraphy master on UA-cam writing kanji (hiragana/katakana) for you. You will also start to recognize cursive or half-cursive versions much easier (A lot of drawn manga are using a more cursive versions than standard). And every time you see this kanji - your memory will flash that beautiful writing that you saw on UA-cam and pop up pronunciations and the meaning. Yes this is how our memory works - associations and mnemonics. Visually beautiful things connected to that chaotic pack of lines that you see second time in your life (kanji) will give you more opportunity to recognize it. Same for mnemonics - a small story behind the pronunciations of Kanji. Please do not develop "bad habit" that you will not be able to get rid of in next 5 years :) wrong writing 0:04 よ 0:27 せ 3:40 学 etc. Also, ありがとうございました for sharing the books collection ;)
the stroke order is pretty stupid if, for example, you're left handed like me. Since they all teach you to go from left to right, my handwriting can't help but be TERRIBLE since it leaves my hands doing awkward movements and there is a point where it almost hurts. If you're not going to be a calligraphy master I think it's just best to do what makes you write actually legible characters
@@imsugardoll unfortunately, It is what it is. I personally don't know how lefthanders are dealing with Japanese writing, but I can agree that "stroke" order is designed for a 1) right handers and 2) writing vertically (which is not a big deal at all, but still worth to mention).
@@nimeobless most people are right handed so it makes sense to show the " right handed way" as a standard for writing. I think that stroke order it's just there to guide you since it can be difficult to write in characters you haven't seen before, just like when you are young and you were learning cursive. Everyone writes in it's own way and I suppose for japanese it's the same. l personally go for the same order as in which stroke is the first one and which one is your last, but I go from right to left, since it's easier to make neater, more legible lines because of hand positioning
Thank you for your kind comment and the suggestions! I'm so incredibly sorry for hurting your eyes lol. Everyone should learn whatever they themselves are interested in and that's also a point I tried to convey in the video. For me that never was learning the stroke order (its a bad habit i know)😅 I do feel a little bad about not researching the stroke orders before recording, because I could have at least shown the correct ones when writing in the video. I hope that people, who are interested in learning the correct stroke orders, will find your comment helpful! :)
@@twanoligschlaeger looking back at my comment I'd probably apologies for "hurting my eye" metaphor :) I'm so used to say that in my daily routine, that the meaning of this is faded a bit for me. I'm in no way to meant to be rude. Your video is still nice. And my focusing on a stroke order probably should stay with me. Btw the further your journey in Japanese the less you pay attention to the stroke order (as you type on keyboard). I'm literally started to use smart pen + hand writing instead to constantly refresh this knowledge :\
The stroke order is Important if you want to write fast in the future
