It´s like an informative ASMR about Japanese stuff
The best thing here is the Japanese and English subtitles .. 💙💙
You helped me alot 💜 i lovvve you
Thank you very much ✨ Lol 🖤
Hi! I'm living in Japan as well and I'm struggling with kanji so much! Thanks for this video and I hope this book will help me, seems really nice and useful suggestion. Thanksss
Blacky Pnose Hi :) You’re welcome, and all of the best with your studies and living in Japan 🖤🕯
I love this! Thank you!
Hi :) Me too 🖤
Thank you very much for the Amazon links to the books you recommended. 日本語の勉強、どうも頑張ってネ！
You’re welcome
Thank you for your recommendation.i will buy this book 😊
Thanks :) I hope you can find it though. It’s rare. ☕️✍🏼🌸
I bought the second edition. I feel it might be a bit difficult to read at the start, but it just looks so beautiful. I like colourful books. And I think this contains enough kanji to keep me busy for a while lol.
Hello!!!
Where did you buy your book?
U r such a kind person bro i wish ur channel go high. U help people so much.and today is my birthday 😇😅
Lol Thanks so much!
Happy birthday to you,

This book looks amazing! I have seen it in your previous videos. I remember looking for the series online and I think there are three books in the series. Maybe I will buy them from you one day if it is possible ライト. Thank you for the video!
I'm actually using that children's kanji book as well as trying to read the death note books in japanese. Some of the kanji is in the elementary book so I was thinking seeing the kanji used repeatedly in the manga would help me memorize it better. I feel like it is easier to remember when you see actual words repeatedly that they are used in.
Exactly what I did. All of the best :)
Interesting video. 👍 :) I was learning Japanese years ago, and I also found and liked this book. Albeit, a bit too late to be used in my studies.
Btw, 小学館 (on the cover page) is Shōgakukan, the publisher of the book, and one of the largest in Japan. They publish dictionaries, manga, and literature.
The book looks amazing and fun to look at because of all the pictures! Wish I knew about the book when I first started learning
Japanese
I currently use Kanji ABC by Andreas Foerster and Naoko Tamura which I also enjoy a lot.
Especially the system that is being used. The only problem is that the last edition was published somewhere in the 1990s and doesn't contain the newly added Kanji from 2010. Otherwise it is a good book and recommend it!
Love you Light!! :X
Lol 🌟
Amazing! First graders are reading the hiragana/katakana to that level already and learning kanji too? Have you seen how low-level school books are in the US? First graders here are barely reading Mary Had A Little Lamb.
Just found your channel, I am very interested in learning Japanese unfortunately It's not a language that is offered in schools or universities where I am from, so I'll actually have to do it on my own. Any tips on self studing Japanese would be really helpful.
Hi :) I would start with learning Hiragana then Katakana. You can search them and watch some videos on CZcams. Also, download the application Anki on pc (free) or mobile (not free) and start small :)
Sorry I don’t have much time for details, but set small goals and find something you like to watch or listen to is a good starting point.
Best of luck! 🌸

I have the new edition and seriously, this cute book is sooo fun to go through tbh. It's full of colours, cute pictures, example sentences and other information that personally, I think it's more motivating to look at, compared to the more expensive, black & white books targeted for older students lol. But hey, I have a question though, is there any kanji book suggestion for the rest of the joyo kanji learned in the secondary school only as this one only formally covered the elementary school ones?
Hi. I 100% agree with you :) Amazing colorful book indeed and so cheap.
So about your question. Great question. I wondered the same thing. I’m probably going to search if they have one for secondary school but can’t right now. If they do, I’ll 100% buy it and make a video about it. :) Thanks for asking 🌸 L

Hi. Thanks for the review. But I can't seem to find the link where I can buy the book. You mentioned you will put it in the description box. Or maybe I just got lost. Maybe you can reply here with the link? Thanks again Light!
Thank you for sharing your favorite book. I used your link to buy it on Amazon Japan, and I bought it for 514 yen!!!
Hello there 🌸 You’re very welcome. That’s an excellent price for a book of so much value. It helped me so much, if not the most. Study hard and keep in touch with your progress 🖤
Where do I find the link? Can’t see it in the bio and would like to buy it too 🥺

You’re welcome 🌟
What kanji book would you recommend for absolute beginners? The one in the video looks like you have to know some Japanese to use it. And do you know of any free resources for learning kanji?
Kanji is great. I like to learn them ッ
I'm learning japanese and english, your videos was helpful to me because i been search didactic book (not the ugly awful, courses books).
It would help if you share the isbn number for those books. That would make searching easy. Thanks!
The descriptions and explanations seem to be in Japanese only. Are those still easy to follow for a beginner? I don't speak Japanese yet 🙈
Thanks alot light kun! Can you please recommend a kanji book that will cover all the JLPT levels? + Which is available in most of the countries 笑
Hi. Well that’s a hard question because I’m not sure what’s available in other countries -.-
These books could help while learning vocabulary but not sure if they’re available on Amazon in most countries.

In the future I also hope to sell on Amazon.

(I mean the quality of the book)........ and do I regret it......??? no way!!!... the book is awesome!!! it's the most essential book to learn kanji and some basic expressions if you are a beginner like me.....:) me luv it...... ありがとうございます!
I’m SUPER happy I could help and I agree that this book is just amazing for its price. :) Thanks for the feedback! ☕️🖤 L
jon lenon hey, do you have the reference for the 1st kanji book? I cannot find it on amazon Japan. Thanks
Where can i get this online does anyone have a link? Arigattou
Im a beginner learning Japanese I’ve learned both katakana and hiragana so far and now I’m trying to learn kanji. I can’t read in Japanese yet So are there any books that are cheap and have both English and Japanese?
Light? 😆 Oh my, where's Ryuk and your death note?
笑 hehe. It’s on my table in the 座敷 (zashiki) room next to the living room.
Hi! Ibhave been following you for a long time already. and because of that ai had purchased one of your favorite books which was show on 4:29 on this video. Can you teach us how to use it or show us how you study it. 🤗 ありがとうございます。
Set up an Amazon affiliate account then you can put links to them in your description and you will get some money from it.
You’re right. I should educate myself and do that. 👍 Thanks :)
Hi, so I’m just learning to read write and speak Japanese. At the moment I am teaching myself and I am getting a bit lost because I’m not sure where to go after learning hiragana and katakana. I’m not sure how Japanese grammar works either and I just started learning jōjō kanji (recommended to me). I really need some guidances, I’m not sure where to go to learn how to write read and speak proper sentences. I’d love to know any recommendation on where to start. I’m 16 and have about maybe 5 hours of free time everyday.
Also side note, your voice is very relaxing to listen too
@@jasmin3654 A dictionary of basic Japanese grammar is good, along with Kodansha Kanji Learner's dictionary.
Im trying to teach myself and its so confusing.There are of the free resources and i have no idea where to start. I am a visual learner and also learn by writing
Can i buy it in normal book shop? I’m here near saga for the next few days and want to buy this book.
Hi 👋 Wow I live here lol You can I hope, as I bought it here. Make sure to get the updates version (Version 2) which has a bit more kanji
Hi! My name is Wright, with W, I love your videos! Can you share your "Aha" moments of learning Kanji?
WrightJuku Online Hi there :) Probably when I discovered the radicals and that using the application Anki helped me a lot to make progress 🕯
Where can I find this book? I live in Saitama, Japan, want to buy online, can I buy, please
Hi. See the link in the description :) just search 2500 Kanji on Amazon ☕️🌟
Hi..first off. Thank you for the videos. I have a question. Can I learn Japanese without learning any kanji or hirigana?? So far I am using Pimsleur and I love watching alot of Anime. And youtube videos of nihon jin people see its eaasy fro me to spell nihon jin than japanese person. I am mexican american.
Hello :) You’re welcome. I also started with Pimsleur and really enjoyed it on my way to work. If you want to live in Japan, unfortunately you have to learn at least Hiragana and Katakana. When you write documents in Japan, you have to be able to write your own name and basic information at least in Hiragana, Katakana and sometimes some basic kanji. It takes about a week to learn for many people so best of luck :)
Also, if you just want to speak Japanese and not live in Japan, that’s fine I think. Pimsleur is a good start ☕️ Enjoy / L

hello i would like to buy your favorite book i didn't find it on amazon. could you tell me where I can buy it?
Hi. Sadly I bought all mine in bookstores so I’m not sure where you can find them except for Amazon. A super nice Kanji book I’m busy creating you can find here for free: payhip.com/b/Cs64
80 Kanji free, after that the other grades costs a little if you liked the first 80. Enjoy :)
Minnano Nihongo and Basic Kanji are the best books for me!!!

🔺I’ve deleted the book link as it was sold out. This book you can find on Amazon, or buy it from me for 110$ if you’re really interested.

Chinese learners always bragging about it.
There're some kanji which do not exist in Chinese such as 氷，凩，雫，弁, 枠, 峠, 榊, 囲, 仏 & 竜 。 These kanji phrases are made up of Chinese characters but a Chinese does not know their meanings unless he's proficient in Japanese : 切手，案内，無料，我慢，怪我，手紙，肝心，初耳 & 心配
@108168 FHLPR, that is what makes Chinese languages interesting: they are ancient.
@@goodgood6688 True but hardly a challenge.
How many kanji is there?
Hi. I’ve been searching for this book in amazon but I can’t find it. Can you please help me?
Hi there 👋 Hmmm that’s where it’s the cheapest. Often these books are sold out in many countries.
I have one book of the latest edition which I sell for 85$ on PayPal, included a calligraphy writing, shipping and packaging. That’s all I can help with though 👍 I used only this book to learn my 1st 1000+ kanji. Loved it. 🖤

Amazon link or my PayPal link?
I don’t know the Amazon link
Through a stroke of luck, my University picked up a Japanese professor just in time for me to have time for Japanese 1-4. The written language is waaaayyyy harder than the spoken but once I got to the point I could recognize the hiragana (albeit not reproduce all of them yet) it became much easier. This is my third language so maybe that helps but I don't think Japanese is quite as hard as they make it out to be outside of the new alphabets.
My 3rd language too. All of the best :)
Light smith say おなら。please lol😁😁😁😁.
I just wanna ask if most of the Japanese read kun than on? Because i want to learn kanji but for me it easy to memorize kun than on.
On is is not less important than kun because there is a lot of compound kanji that use onyomi
Almost all compound words use “on” reading. So it’s actually easier to remember because you can learn the readings through those vocab.

I wish I'd never read about 'difficulty levels' regarding Japanese. They don't take into account, however, how much one exposes oneself to a language via anime etc. I'm not a Japanophone,

I learned from Kanji from zero imo its the best way because you learn the readings and how to use them. Wanikani is good but I dont like neumonics because youre learning unnecessary information. I really like that book you showed as well, and if thats how they learn it thats how we should be learning it not taking shortcuts.
