i hate to bring it up like this but there's no such word as "passionating" -- it's either passionate or fascinating ;) otherwise, it's a very interesting video with a bit of a clickbait title -- as loan words turned into katakana can sometimes be harder to grasp than the words with chinese origin in japanese (mostly because learners of japanese who also speak english too often take them for granted as something they already know which isn't really the case)

>here's how to learn japanese >can't even pronounce onyomi correctly. Heisig's method is basically useless. You'll be able to recognize 水 and that it means water. Then you"ll think 水曜日 and it is prounounced "mizuyouhi". Then after an hour of this you"ll realize you can't read anything after all of that work.
@NicolaSanoriginal3 ай бұрын
Hey Thanks for your comment. In a sense I do agree as the Heisig method does not help with prononciations, whether the Onyomi or Kunyomi 😉. Hence, it needs to be complemented with additional work focused on this. This is very well explained in the introduction of the book by Heisig himself. Nevertheless it is a great tool to recognize and rewrite kanjis. Take care またね

I just want your opinion. ❤ Instead of Anki for memorization, I’ve been repeating my app’s online vocabulary lessons for nouns, verbs, and of course kanjis When I’d can naturally remember and/or read an entire section of them, I usually don’t review that for hours or the day. In short, I also keep mind of what needs to be fixed or not like spaced-time repetition. I really like the tips you gave in the video by the way 👍

Hi there, First of all, congratulations on learning Japanese, and thank you for your positive feedback! Regarding your method, I think it’s great. Just keep in mind that as you expand your vocabulary, kanji, and grammar knowledge, maintaining this system might become more challenging.

Hello.. Sir.. I have started learning kanji.. Some kanji have 7-8 meanings. For example - 宙, This kanji has meanings like -mid-air, air, space, sky, memorization, interval of time. As you can see it has 6 meanings.. HOW TO LEARN THESE SIX MEANINGS OF Single KANJI?? IS THERE ANY BETTER IDEA?
@NicolaSanoriginal3 ай бұрын
Hey, Thanks for the comment and very good question. If we take the heisig method, you usually only refer to one meaning (the main one). In this case it is mid-air. My personal advice is to associate it with the concept of space or cosmos which fits well with mid-air. The vast majority of the words using this kanji are related to this concept of space/cosmos. And to answer your second question, the best way is to associate the kanji with the main concept. You can use the app or website (Jisho/shirabe jisho) to check each kanji, their meaning and the words there are used in. (I find the IOS app really good and it is detailed in one of my videos: kzbin.info/www/bejne/raHQgpKqj9Npg80) Hope this helps. Take care またね
@sophiemandese69893 ай бұрын
As an N3 Japanese learner trying to learn more kanji, I think the video neglects a few things: 1. Is this method only for learning kanji individually? Because while there are about 2000 kanji, there are many thousands more words that have kanji, and there are times where knowing the meaning of the kanji in the word doesn't necessarily tell you much about the word's meaning. This is especially true for words with multiple, context dependent meanings. So learning kanji one at a time will only get you so far before you have to learn words. 2. Remembering a story for the meaning will only help you remember one or maybe 2 meanings. Many kanji have multiple meanings and you also won't remember the readings with this method. 3. You'd have to learn the meanings of kanji radicals for this to work which wasn't mentioned here. 4. As you keep learning, you'll eventually discover some kanji are crazy intricate with many radicals and that some kanji are only different by 1 radical. Both of these will make making stories with radicals more difficult. 5. I've used this method with some kanji with success, but sometimes I also just forget the story I made up for the radicals in the first place. So this isn't fool proof. 6. I'm not a fan of anki and have seen videos of it's 'brain hacking method' being debunked (see lingosteve). If it works for you that's great, but it may not be the best method contrary to popular belief. In my opinion: The best way to remember anything is really to be exposed to it a lot. You can do this through anki, but doing so by reading is going to be a much better use of time since you'll also be exposed to vocab and grammatical structures. You'll also read kanji like it's meant to be read - as a part of a word, not as a separate entity with it's own pinpointed meaning (in many cases). This will also help you get used to it's multiple readings and meanings since they'll appear organically. You can use the story method for kanji while reading if it helps, but honestly sometimes just seeing a kanji in context once or twice, the characters it's paired with or the unique shape of the whole kanji is enough for you to remember it. Anyway, sorry for the rant (I'm bored ngl). I just thought about my own kanji learning journey and realized the method described here is more complicated and less complete than it's presented.
@NicolaSanoriginal3 ай бұрын
Hey Sophie Thanks for sharing your insights! You do bring up valuable considerations for anyone learning kanji and I actually share some of them: 1) Kanji vs. Vocabulary: You're absolutely right that knowing individual kanji doesn't always help with understanding the meaning of compound words, especially those with multiple or context-dependent meanings. While learning kanji individually can be a good starting point, integrating vocabulary study is essential for true fluency. Recognizing kanji in the context of words helps solidify both the meaning and usage. 2) Multiple Meanings and Readings: Remembering stories for kanji can indeed be limiting when kanji have several meanings or readings. This method has to be complemented with other techniques, that can provide context and provide the different readings. 3) Understanding Radicals: Learning the meanings of kanji radicals is indeed crucial. Radicals often give hints about the kanji. Maybe not showcased here but the method does include learning the meaning of the kanji's radical. 4) Intricate Kanji and Similarities: As kanji becomes more complex, distinguishing between them can be challenging. Breaking down intricate kanji into their component radicals and creating stories for those can help. At least that is what I have personally experienced. 5) Retention of Stories: It's common to forget the stories made for kanji. Personally, I made a system to quickly review the story created for a kanji to help on this. 6) Use of Anki: While Anki and its "brain hacking" methods may not work for everyone, they do provide a structured way to review and retain information. However, I fully agree, it does not work for everyone. I recently had a debate with some friends about this topic. Interestingly, we found that while this method works well for some of us, it doesn't work as effectively for others. Also, immersion through reading, as you mentioned, is really effective. It helps you see kanji in their natural context, reinforcing both vocabulary and grammar. Ultimately, the best method varies from person to person. Combining different approaches, can provide a more comprehensive learning experience. Once again, Thanks for your thoughtful contribution. It was a constructive feedback, hence why I wanted to take the time to answer you. Take care またね

Thanks for your message. Absolutely: - If you wish to pursue a career or academic path in Japan, a significant emphasis on language proficiency is needed. Mastery of Japanese is not just a linguistic asset but a crucial tool for cultural integration and professional navigation. - Beyond direct career implications, Japan, and particularly Tokyo, is a dynamic international hub for business for numerous industries, fostering a vibrant environment for innovation and global commerce. - As touched upon in the video, the journey to learning Japanese fosters an inventive approach. It requires learners to unlock adaptive cognitive frameworks that can be useful across various disciplines, particularly those involving the assimilation and retention of extensive information. For instance, Anki, a renowned flashcard application, is widely used both by students of the Japanese language and by medical students worldwide. Hope this insight is beneficial to you. Take care

the Japanese keyboard shown seems to include 45 different Hiragana or Katakana symbols. combined with 'prediction technology' this seems to do the trick with the 2,000 or 3,000 kanjis used. anyway, it's always amazing to watch Chinese, Japanese or Koreans type texts on their phones/computers using a keyboard with Latin letters or some simplified versions of another alphabet. they already learned so many characters, adding these 26 Roman letters was no big deal for them.
