learn kanji

ピンク色の「常用漢字の学習」
１日１ページで、一週間で７ページ終わらせるぞ！
因みに４７ページあるから…７週間は確実にかかるね。
長期戦で頑張ろう。

Pink colored textbook “Studying of regular Kanji”
I’ll finish 1page a day and complete 7pages in a week.
By the way, it has 47pages in this textbook so
It will take 7 weeks at less.
Think it as a long war.

No where near starting this. I want to eventually take the Level 4 test but that won’t be for several years. I want to learn Japanese as a language, not just the symbols so I’m working on hiragana and katakana first.

blblablabla

Get to know from memory at least a few hundred kanjis — writing, readings and meanings. And be reasonably fast reading and writing them.

I see learning kana as being a prerequisite for this — I want to have a good command of kanas before tackling the tougher work of kanjis!

This semester I’m taking an Elementary Japanese Class (AKA Beginners) at SDSU.
We’re 3 weeks into the semester, and I’ve already mastered hiragana. It’s the best class I’ve had thus far. Of course, I’m biased, since this has been a dream of mine since I was 12.
But hey, I’m that much closer to learning Kanji!

I used to know about 1000-1200 kanji characters in 2001. I think I might be able to remember about 20 now. I never get to use them now. I never speak Japanese anymore but I will make more of an effort to keep my diminishing ability alive. Overall considering it took me about 6 years to get to that level I would say the kanji at least was not worth it.

For me the hours,days, months etc that are needed to learn the kanji alphbet are not worth it. I would say it is worth it if you want to live in Japan permanently, intend on reading a daily newspaper and want to attempt to integrate yourself into life there as fully as possible.

this should help a lot!

in a month or so i will have forgotten… oh well

Just starting out today. It looks hard, we’ll see for the first time.

I want to add another web site for learning kanji to the list: www.kanjisite.com its author wasn’t updating it for a while. But it is a neat place with nice kanji ideograms. It also shows all the kana characters.
