Here is a list of the kanji we studied today in case you want to look them up yourself:
・木 tree
・林 grove
・森 forest
・杏 apricot
・呆 dummy
James's study journey blog entry at Kotoba Miners: blog.kotobaminers.org/post/122...
This is our submission for #khanacademytalentsearch
This is a pilot video for teaching entry-level students how to study Chinese characters, specifically those used in the Japanese writing system. This course would cover the meanings, writings, and readings of the kanji, and later readings of Japanese/Chinese sentences and passages.
James and Jason are based in Japan, but are also able to provide the Chinese version of this course.

@Probably Buddha what is the easiest way to learn kanji? In my perspective it seems that i can't even determine 1 kanji to another
@@kenichiooo9454 you should start with easy words like 私(I) and other things
Remembering the meaning is super easy, but the reading is horrible-....-
Mumefi so true
Well, you have to learn them separately.. Makes it much easier! So you know the meaning of a kanji, and you know the reading of that meaning, because you listen to Japanese audio or learn the Japanese words in kana. And so you can link the reading with the kanji. And it may seem very time consuming, but after a while it becomes natural and then you don't need to do the 'double translation' anymore.
on-reading (chinese) is used if there are more than one kanji in the sentence/together and the kun-reading (japanese) is used when only one kanji is used in the sentence. that‘s what I understood from japanesepod101. more about this here: www.thoughtco.com/learning-japanese-4070947
if I‘m wrong, please someone correct me, I just (re)started studying japanese after 4 years *cries*
Some of kanji have only onyomi reading, and some of words with more than one kanji have kunyomi reading.
Just an example :
electricity is written 電 デン
As you can see, this kanji has only onyomi reading.
Akihabara is written 秋葉原
It is a popular district in Japan : you read this as あきはばら。All the kanji into this word are read in kunyomi reading !
Lots of place names and words already existed in Japan before the country opened to the world. Then they simply associated chinese kanji with the words they already said before. That's why, it's not a strict rule that "one kanji has only kunyomi reading" and "words with more than one kanji have only onyomi reading". ;-)
I can remember it , but i can't read it too.
The dummy is easy to remember
Top is a head, bottom is torso that has arms and legs and... nevermind
Lol
Chin-Chin??
I am dying oh my goodness I love your comment so much
Oh gosh, now I cannot unsee that, thanks.
Actually I thought about that 😂
It's easier than think about a dummy's mouth on a tree.
I actually just met a real person in China named 木林森。
Is he like a Tree Hugger?
Give me his/her number
Tree grove forest isn’t a bad name if you ask me-
roppongi

0:21 Note how he writes j of "kanji". A strange starting point. The Latin alphabet also has a stroke order, but is not so complex as the kanji's is.
+Hans Kamp I'm so happy someone pointed this out :D People used to tell me about my J's all the time. But my name starts with a J, so I feel like I can take some creative license in deciding how to write the letter ;)
英会話スクール English Garden
I used to have a classmate who wrote 1 by starting from the bottom. You could only notice he did this if you watched him write though, which is what I use as an excuse not to learn stroke order
Wait the Latin alphabet has a stroke order!?
It doesn't! Letters have traditional ways of being written, but kanji stroke orders are much stricter and more regulated. In my experience, learning correct stroke orders for kanji helps you learn them more quickly. That said, there's no reason to freak out if someone "breaks the rules" when writing kanji. It's merely a method to make writing smoother and easier.
stroke order also helps with making the kanji look right
Japanese: it's new!
Chinese: it isn't! I've seen it before!
Lol since im chinese these are easy
these are just ancient chinese words, used a long time ago, my dad is chinese and he practice writing them everyday
Li Ricky's Fsx video actually they are not the original Chinese, they are simplified.
@@joysun4370 Switching between traditional and simplified characters isn't that big of a deal. Simplified characters just use less strokes.

0:45 : *pulls out a big sheet a paper with thousands of kanji*
me: *faints*
Personally I think a better way to explain "呆" is that a person is stunned with his mouth wide open and standing still like a tree (instead of a person 人), which was probably later extended to having the meaning of "dummy". Overall you did a good job and made these characters look interesting. Thank you.
Imo I was thinking like a crash test dummy
Fun fact, this is the truth.
Wooden dummy better
呆 kinda means
Thoughtless
囧
I studied 4 years of mandarin (simplified characters) and 4 years of Japanese at the same time. One of the best lessons both my sensei and my laoshi taught me about Chinese characters was radicals. If you study radicals, it will help you even figure out new characters that you’ve never read before. Also, this video is a great lesson about kanji as well.
Do you not know how to type Chinese characters? Cause “laoshi” is written as 老师 in Chinese
木-wood
林-My family name
森-forest (with many trees)
(If you learn Chinese, I guarantee you that you will know almost 90% and above of the Kanji words) I'm chinese and learning Japanese XD
To be fair they "borrowed" it from china
@@Razorcarl "derived"
U do know that 漢字 (kanji) literally means, "chinese characters"/letters right? lol
and there is this too

I learned the Heisig method and it's a great introduction to them as it lets you start using them pretty early. Muscle memory is important later on though, so my advice it write new kanji 50x or more.

One of my favorite characters, at least in Chinese, is the word for "look" - AKA - kàn 看. It depicts a hand over someone's eye.
It really looks like 君... I was confused
@@kal9728 Ah, that is quite similar.
But instead of having a "hand" (手 shŏu) over an "eye" (目 mù) to make "watch" (看 kàn)...
This is "to govern/an official title" (尹
yǐn) over a "mouth" (口 kǒu) which makes "ruler" (君 jūn).
So basically, the ruler has his say. So his mouth is literally involved. And his status is shown as a symbol that resembles a flag hanging above him..and his literal mouth, lol.
It's important to first know the pieces of the puzzle. It's harder to tell what a word is when it's all put together. But when you take it apart to its simpler parts, it can be more easily understood.
Zad That’s the characters “kimi” right? I got confused too
@@AA-pv6mi Yep, it's kimi
@@CaveyMoth nope,君 means you or good man
Here’s some of the readings:
木 き, モク

THANK YOU SO MUCH??????????? Sjjsjsksksjsj
初めて木の書き方が分かりました！ありがとうございます！
I started learning Chinese last semester ( Japanese is still on my list, too), so I already knew some of those :). Most even mean the same thing, the word itself just sounds different, doesn't it? I especially like these rather graphic Hanzi/Kanji, because for me as a more audiovisual learner, these are often easier to remember. And I absolutely love writing them, because putting down each of those strokes has a really calming effect on me 🥰
Thanks for your explanation ! I think you're a great teacher but could you write the Hiragana to each word too? I don't only wanna write it, I also wanna speak it 😅
I was about to comment same.
Marcel Petersen you can write sentences with only hiragana but it's harder and slower to read
Problem is that learning the pronunciations along with the meanings and how to write them would cross a lot of wires in your brain and would be nearly impossible to do, you would be forgetting things constantly. The Heisig method teaches you to remember how to write the kanji and the meaning of each kanji (which you can do for all 2156 in roughly 4 months) so that you already have a mental dictionary of each kanji and you can easily pick up the pronunciations in a case by case basis since human brains are very good at clumping already existent information.
Marcel Petersen it's like you wanna walk when you even can't crawl. It's not easy to speak when you can't write and read different language
@@MontySlython I agree! Marcel, If you want to read and write it, you might consider using the Heisig method for learning Kanji, and learn the vocabulary and grammar in Hiragana separately through a method book. Finally, when you are ready to combine them, it's just a matter of matching up the name and picture. For the most part, that is what I am doing.
This was a super cool video. It brings me back to High school when I was learning Japanese. It was definitely a jolt of the old memory bank.

6:03- That says "Owari - The End".
So some of this is wrong. Yes, RTK uses visual mnemonics to aid in remembering kanji, but the visual representation of the mnemonic is not limited to the lines set by the kanji. RTK uses the components of a kanji to create a story which creates an image all by itself and then by seeing the items in the image and knowing what their equivalent strokes will allow you to write out the kanji. The image in the mind is just a straight up image. Like a painting.
THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST WAY OF LEARNING KANJI OMG I MEMORIZED 32 KANJI IN ONE DAY AND I ATILL REMEMBER IT AFTER A WEEK

You can also apply a similar method to learning the readings. There are many great books for that and also some really good programs like wanikani.
This was soo helpful, thank you v much. I was always confused to whether learn the kanji character's meaning first or to learn it with the pronunciation.

Everyone keeps raving about Heisig but it always seems like they have something to gain out of it, I feel like I'm being sold to. Idk who to trust and what to believe and if I should purchase this book or not. It's a large amount of money to me and that's only the first book.
+someamorplease I've had this feeling before. Not with Heisig, but with other websites that were offering Japanese advice for a price.
As just some guy (and not the owner of an English school), I can tell you that I struggled to learn Japanese for over a year after I came to Japan. I bought textbooks, I took a few free classes, but everything just bored me. Maybe that was because I was studying the language as a working adult, not a student, so I felt a need to enjoy myself speaking the language, rather than gradually leveling up over the course of a few semesters.
So I was kind of paralyzed in terms of Japanese study, but two things brought me out of it. The first was Heisig's book, and the second was stumbling across ajatt.com (which also recommends the Heisig Method).
Heisig's book (just the first one) opened Japan for me, since because after that I was able to understand a lot more of the world around me. I was able to read manga after getting through most of the book, which put me on a path to learn more Japanese grammar and vocabulary, which had a positive effect on my listening and conversation skills.
And ajatt.com served as my coach. The website was a community of people like me who were interested in studying, but not via the train-track method of a textbook. We wanted to make our own textbooks, so to speak, out of the stuff we actually enjoyed engaging with in Japanese.
So for me, at least, Heisig was the first stepping stone that interested me enough to stick with it, and it ended up being probably the most valuable study material I've ever bought with regard to Japanese.
That said, the first 50 or so pages are available online for free. You should definitely check that sample out before investing in the whole book if money is an issue. Heisig worked for me, but it's not magic. It's a lot of hard work, and if you don't find yourself addicted to the idea after 50 pages, you probably won't make it to the end. Even I struggled to finish after the first 1000 kanji.
英会話のEnglish Garden Thank you so much, you're the first person to ever give me relevant information and tell me about your experience. I will definitely look into Heisig's book some more and decide if it's the best path for me. From what I've heard people say it sounds like it would work for me but I just got kind of lost in a whirlwind with people using words I'd never heard before.
Thank you for the information, I will check out the free online stuff to test it out.
+someamorplease +英会話のEnglish Garden: It seems to me that the Heisig Method is nothing more than using mnemonics to remember the kanji, which isn't exactly groundbreaking. Mnemonics is a memory technique that has been used since Ancient Greece. It may take some time to apply the technique at first, but after some time it becomes so natural that it takes no longer to apply the technique than it does reading whatever it is one applies it to.
As far as resources on learning kanji go, WaniKani is also worth checking out. It's a website solely devoted to teaching kanji, and in a fun way, partly due to somewhat gamifying the learning process. It is also a paid service, unfortunately, but they do have the decency to let you try out the three first levels for free, which will take around two months. That should be more than enough time to figure out if it's something to your liking or not. They also have a community with a forum over there.
FiveADay Kanji I have actually spoken to you before and I found your blog about a week back. Found a lot of useful information there so thank you :) ありがとございまして
That's exactly what Heisig 1 is: a system of mnemonics for learning kanji. The difference is that he gives detailed stories using the mnemonics, at least for the first 500 (as someone else mentioned). After that, you're expected to invent your own stories, although he gives clues for all of them. It's been a few years since I looked at Heisig 1, so some of my details may be off.
Very good. This makes learning Kanji more fun and memorable. More videos like this please.
Jems san your method is amazing method, very very easy to studying Japanese language by Your method

amazing viedo i was lost learning japanese and this is actually the first viedo that made perfect sense thank you
I love how simple the tree is and I quite like the kanji for book, the base here is also the tree. It looks like someone has made space under the tree where you can sit and read: "本"
I adore the fire related kanji, too. "火山" for example is made up of "火" fire and "山" mountain. What is a fire mountain? A volcano! :P
Helene Trøstrup In fact 本 originally means “origin” or “essence” , so Japan日本 means “Sun origin”(where the sun rises）本 looks like the root of wood木 ,so it means origin

Three another trees under the forest = Roppongi.
Write a "yama"(mountain) under the "uma"(horse) instead of its "legs", like "tori"(bird) changes to "shima"(island) = "shimauma"(zebra).
As a native Chinese speaker who also learned English and Japanese, I feel weirdly happy when I'm watching these video. It's just like an revenge of my spending so much time memorizing all the seemingly ridiculous English words to take the TOFEL and GRE test.

常用漢字は2136種類だけど、読み方が4388音訓（音読み2352・訓読み2036）あって、
それらを複雑に組み合わせると、全く違う読み方が発生しうると知った時の絶望顔が見たい。
発生と発声、読みは同じだけど漢字によって少しずつ意味が違ってきますね。日本語こぇ〜w(日本人)
大漢和辞典には五万種類の漢字が載ってるけど覚えるのは不可能
You explained it so well !
what you put Thai word at the end, It really makes me happy.
สวัดดี แบรดพิตต์ ผมชือไบร์ท, ยินดีที่ใด้รู้จัก :D

Me: sh*t

IIRC, Heisig 1 teaches writing and meaning through a detailed system of mnemonics. Heisig 2 teaches pronunciation (readings) through mnemonics.
I think I've learned a lot!From Japan
Trees in thumbnail?

My name is Forrest, so my name in Japanese is 森 😄
foreigners of japan typically use katakana for their name rather than kanji, so your name would be フォレスト or something similar
idk, I find this somewhat helpful to an extent, but I prefer using radicals to remember.
maybe its because I'm learning Chinese as well, so its not much of a big deal for me to get used to the stroke orders or remembering with radicals.
also, the language of the 4th sentence at 4:55 is Thai incase anyone was wondering :D
Thank you, really well explained
