This is not limited to Japanese, but I understand that it is important to study the same things as the children of the country in order to improve the language. Many of the kanji learned in the first grade of elementary school are simple, but they appear frequently and appear in other kanji, so they are an important element to build the foundation of Japanese.

[@Rhovanion85]

As an adult you have more freedom to choose other, faster methods, because you have a job, a life, etc... if you want to learn Japnese quickly as an adult my experience taught me that learning another order of Kanji is more efficient for adults. For example: It's easy to remember 村 as 木 + 寸 and think like "cut down trees, measure them and build houses" or something. It is much more convenient to know about 寸 early on. But it's very difficult to explain "measurement" to an 8 year old. Of course this is just my experience and I think there are many ways to study Japanese. I study Japanese not only with my brain, but also with my heart. :)

[@thicclasagna3415]

[@thicclasagna3415]

Thats the thing though we haven't been speaking Japanese very long, and if you think about first graders, they haven't either since they're so young, so dw, we're on the right track 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

[@LDXReal]

Also be sure to learn hiragana and kanji way to write your Japanese vocab, cause then your brain will start to remember that certain kanji relate to certain things. 学生 (がくせい) is gakusei in kanji and hiragana. The kanji gaku (学) means learn, and gakusei means student, which makes sense. If you look at kanji and hiragana simultaneously, it will get easier to understand them. Best of luck my friend 🙏🏾

Thats because the first kanji were written or better carved on bones or shells from turtles(2 examples). Carving those is easy with rectangle, but super hard in circle forms. That's why the sun the eye and many more have rectangle forms.

[@stucky101]

Most satisfying to watch for relaxation and Kanji study. Love the perfect way the lines slightly misalign (as they should in written Kanji versus the robotic printed style), plus the perfect flicks for the little hooks at the end of many of those. This pen appears to be the Porsche of pens. A master tool for the craft but I'd never dare use one without Takumi's killer calligraphy skill. How your hand does this I will never understand. I'd love to see a vid on the most complex Kanji out there. If anyone can write them it's you !!

Tbh the kanji are directly inherited from Chinese language, there is a period in history which Japan is largely influenced by Chinese. However China now has abandoned traditional Chinese and replaced it with Simplified Chinese, which lost its beauty, as implied by the name because it is simplified, it is much different now

You couldn’t be wrong to think that, since the kanji for mountain kinda looks like a mountain... My guess is maybe some millennia ago the Chinese character for circle was an actual circle, but they noticed all the other characters were square shaped, so they had to fix it to look good in a presentation and it just stuck.

I feel like you'd run into problems with that. A circle can be a circle, bit it could also be the sun, or an eyeball, or an orange or a wheel, or a dinner plate. It just isn't descriptive enough.

I’ve been studying for 4 years and it never ceases to be interesting to me. I recently just started writing them about a year ago and find it really makes retaining them a lot easier.
