![]() knowing their meaning individually can help decipher the meaning. for example, 高価 (こうか) means “high price.” 高 means high and 価 means price. I do, however, think it’s important to understand the meaning of a kanji. this can help you decipher the meaning of a word you don’t know yet. i make sure to get as much exposure to the various ways a single kanji can appear within a larger compound, so 高 is not just a single kanji, but it is 高い and 高校生 and 高価. i don’t learn individual kanji – i learn kanji within various vocabulary words. this really isn’t something you can just magically guess.īut it’s important to remember that everyone learns differently. lots of compounds use the kunyomi, some of them add dakuten (as in ちゅう ごく instead of ちゅう こく in 中国), and others add っ (as in ちょっこう instead of ちょこう in 直行). Which, spoiler: kunyomi and onyomi is not always an accurate measure. they then memorized the vocabulary and grew to know the kunyomi and onyomi readings. i once asked my boyfriend how he learned kanji in grade school, and he said that they were basically given a kanji, and then they were given a list of vocabulary that included that kanji. because i learned those words in context and on their own.Ī few months after i came to japan, i started asking japanese people how they learned kanji and every single one of them answered the same way: they learn through vocabulary. I spent the first 6 months of my japanese learning “career” (for lack of a better word) trying to figure out the best way to learn kanji because every website and book was like “here’s the kunyomi, here’s the onyomi, now learn them both” but the fine print of that learning method says “you’re going to f*cking struggle”īut then i started realizing that kanji i read all of the time, i didn’t even “properly” study like those articles said. i didn’t know the kunyomi and onyomi for 行 for ages, but i knew it was read いく in 行く and こう in words like 旅行 and 直行. Learning kanji does not have to be a headache! Okay, i’m going to be real with the japanese language learning community: you all are doing waaaaaaaay too much when it comes to kanji. Omg no! don’t stress yourself out like that anon!!

This post will be updated as I get more time to scan books, purchase more books, or if I happen to find more books online.Ĭan’t find the textbook you’re looking for on this list? Please feel free to hit up my ask! I may have it, but just haven’t scanned it yet. Hello everyone! Here are some textbooks I had time to scan and upload (marked with an asterisk) or had found somewhere online. Dramas about samurai and anime about pirates in a magical land are fine, but don’t make them the bulk of your interaction with the language. Listening to a language before you can understand it is shown to improve understanding of the rhythm and accents of the language, so you’ll want things that follow a natural cadence. I would only suggest that at the beginner level to try to watch ones with mostly non-stylised language use. For listening there is of course music, movies, dramas etc. There are plenty of children’s books and graded readers available, as well as social media (twitter, hellotalk, etc.) that you can use to practice reading. Then as you study you should be exposing yourself to as much native material as possible. You don’t have to learn how to write all of those kanji right away, but learning to recognise the word in its kanji form will help boost your reading comprehension, plus you can use them when typing which will help with language exchange! When you’re learning new vocabulary do it with the kanji. Learning them first will open up a ton more resources and make you more appealing as a language partner. I hope that sounds eye-rollingly obvious, but for some reason a lot of people who self study push it off. Make sure to learn Hiragana and Katakana. It took 4 years of intermittent studying to get to N2, I just hit the 7 year mark a few months ago~įor tips I’ll just list 3 since everyone learns differently □
