Thank you so much
Love your sharing 🥰🥰🥰
thank you :3
Yeppp I need them
I did hate kanji when I first started learning, but now it's genuinely the thing I love most about learning Japanese. The satisfaction of recognizing Kanji and successfully reading sentences, seeing the nuance behind it, the fun connections a character has with other characters. It's like a fun puzzle that I'll never run out of pieces to put together.
How do you recommend learning them?
@@kaedecrystal Let me first say I'm far from an expert on this. I'm not fluent by any means and I'm just barely over N5 level. But if you asked me, I'd say the biggest tip from me especially if someone is starting out is just to look at as much kanji as possible. Don't go straight into memorizing it, just look at it, get used to looking at it. Pay attention to the patterns, the shapes, and simply keep a mental note of it. Later on when you actually actively try to learn its meaning, It'll be much easier. Don't rush into thinking you need to know everything as quickly as possible, because its a LOT of characters and you will be overwhelmed. Now, how you manage to look at as much kanji as you can depends on your interest. Personally, I love Japanese music, so I get a lot of kanji exposure looking at the lyrics and singing along. That way I also get the reading along with the kanji. That's one among many methods. But it's really up to what you enjoy doing. Anyway, that's just how I personally do it based on my experience. Hope that helped for you or anybody reading this :)
@@DeadlyLazeras someone who's just starting out this is really helpful, thanks a lot!

Left to right, top to bottom - simple yet essential rules for stroke order. Understanding these basics is crucial for writing kanji correctly
Shiina... What a wonderful name! And you DID grow up to have excellent sensitivity and expressiveness, so it is perfect name for you, Sensei ! 👍👍😃
I was told that the best way to memorize kanji is to basically memorize it as it comes up rather than trying to memorize every form and pronunciation each kanji has. So, if you come across a certain kanji like 人生 you'll know it'll be read as じんせい, but then you'll come across 生きる and you'll learn the new pronunciation for this particular form いきる
That’s a very good way. It can be better or can be the best if you combine it with an SRS (like Anki).
With an SRS, you’re _actively_ trying to encounter the various forms. And it will help you remember by forcing you to *recall* the words before you forget them.
The nightmare is a Kanji having multiple pronunciations... A Kanji can have many Onyomi pronunciations
usually only one is common or the difference is just voiced and unvoiced. but kun readings are all over the place and make reading hard if you don't already know the word well. frequently kun reading is not really attached to kanji and many kanji are acceptable or offer nuance only
@@CaptainWumbo Interesting... Thanks friend
When studying kanji, don't worry about leaving the readings individually. You want to learn the words first then the Kanji like Japanese kids do.
I personally completely undermine the name readings and aim towards learning at least one of either on or kun reading of each kanji so that I could at least type them on Japanese keyboard. Then I learn Japanese words from here
I totally agree - hard work pays off with consistent effort! Daily practice is the key to mastering kanji, just like any other skill 💪
Ohhh, the variety of topics in MochiKanji's courses is impressive!
5 Levels of Memorization in MochiKanji seem like a great motivator! Knowing which kanji need more attention helps in targeted revision
These are very helpful hints. Thank you very much!
We love u Mochi (Shiina) Sensei! ❤️🥰🫶💐 great advice ☺️
This was my favorite Mochi Sensei video yet! Also the best summary explaination of the best way to learn Kanji. So many helpful insights! ありがとございました! My 2024 Japanese learning goal is to be able to have simple, yet fun, conversation with people and get to the level where I can ask learning questions to native speakers in Japanese to exponentially grow my knowledge. Love You!
You're very welcome!✨
Having a personalized revision schedule in MochiKanji app can definitely enhance the learning experience. Can't wait to try this app
This is so useful! I have been searching for something like this to practice my Kanji! Thank you!
J-Dictionary feature in MochiKanji is really handyyy. Having quick access to word andkanji meanings enhances the overall learning experience
Your energy and passion for kanji are inspiring! Thanks for the vid
The simplicity of the left-to-right, top-to-bottom rule for stroke order is something I'll keep in mind. It's a practical and easy-to-remember guideline
Wow, I never knew kanji had such deep meanings! Your name 詩奈 is beautiful, and it's inspiring to learn about the significance of each character🌸
MochiKanji's 5 Levels of Memorization are a brilliant way to gauge progress. Knowing which kanji need more revision keeps the learning process focused 📈
The video motivated me a lot, thank Mochi Sensei
ありがとございます！漢字はとても難しくて楽しいです。漢字の練習をするのが大切です！❤
I love how you've made kanji learning so accessible with practical tips and an awesome app recommendation. Many thanks!
Glad you like it!
i love mochi too
same legit ^^ i love mochi too
agreeee
Consistency is key, and finding time before bed is a smart way to stay on track🌙
Mochi-san, your video always motivates me a lot. Ahhh, I'm using the app like you 😍. Mochi (same name as you) is truly effective in learning Kanji because it automatically reminds you to review the prior Kanji. Give it a try!!!!
yeahhhh
sameeeee
agree
ohh
totally agree
For 2024 I'll be satisfied with mastering Hiragana and Katakana and learn a good amount of words and sentences, but I won't neglect Kanjis while learning.
Thank you Mochi-san for the great help and useful tips!
Great information in this video about learning Japanese . I am still learning but learning hiragana and katakana first is very important. Of course I am not an expert but can pick out a few words because of learning them. Thank you for sharing these tips .⛩️🇯🇵
Also your real name is very beautiful and you seem to have all the qualities it represents. 🙂💖
Your names both sound beautiful, thank you for your lessons.☺
Hi Mochi, always looking forward to your videos
Flashcards have been my go-to for learning, and I can see how they'd be handy for kanji memorization too. What's more, I have to admit that the app recommended is so good!!!
great to hear that☺️
I like the app a lot. It has cute interface and keeps you motivated. I especially like tree growing☺.
Learning 5-10 words per lesson makes it manageable and ensures that I absorb the language effectively. MochiKanji 💯
Thank you 😊😊😊
from now on I will study to learn
I'm Chinese, so the meaning of the Kanji is no problem for me. But the pronunciation is different, so I can't read it in Japanese.
my goals for Japanese learning is to learn enough so I can have proper everyday conversations in Japanese. really imformative video Arigatou Shiina sensei
I've been learning since a few months, and learning radicals is really important. I'm not super skilled, but I really enjoy deciphering kanjis, trying to mix all those radicals into a cohesive story that tells what the kanji is all about.
I'm far from knowing all the radicals, but I'm familiar with most of them, and kanjis don't look that alien to me any more. It's really rewarding to see the progress I've made, even though I'm far from reading Japanese properly, and I've mostly devoted my time to get the meaning of kanjis, the prononciation is still a lot of work.
Anyway, I wish I learned about the radicals sooner, they're like the alphabet of kanjis.
Arigatou for the lessons, Shiina sensei! 😊
can you please write it down what she said in japanese while giving her introduction? watashi wa..................................des
I pretty much didn't do any of this to learn kanji, I find trying to memorize them to be a massive waste of time. I just looked up new words as I went along and learned Kanji in context. It made it go by quicker as I wasn't spending as much time studying kanji and instead did other things like reading or watching stuff. The only real downside to this is that I can't handwrite but it's 2024, I can just look up the stroke order on my phone if I ever need to handwrite.
thank you so much i think this app will help me alot ^^
I'm glad!😊
This was very helpful
Thank you Saki for this Mochi -Mochi Kanji Learn Japanese 🍡🍡 It's fun..😊
when i first encounter kanji, its very hard. but i learn some advice : dont really think kanji as a text but rather an image, and its easier because kanji has Radical. so your'e not confuse whether its 時 or 侍
Thank you very much for the helpful video!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you Mochi sensei~~
No problem 😊
詩奈先生、ありがとうございます。😸🙏
Funnily enough nobody mentions using clever mnemonic techniques to easily remember the shape of kana, radicals or kanji irself. There are specialiced books for that. For example, the hiragana すresembles a twisted arabic sabre, the sabre of the SUltan. Just an easy way to connect す with SU in your head. With that method I was able to memorize the whole kana syllabary in about 4 days.
Really helpful! I really love learning Kanji
Happy to hear that!
One of the best video to learn Japanese.......😊😊
arigatooo!🎉
even after learning jouyou and many more, it's a really difficult system. I think it works better for native speakers who mostly just learn to write words they know, and then kind of hard things like medical terms are a little bit obvious in kanji. But as a foreign speaker, they make reading much more exhausting than any other language because reading doesn't reinforce pronunciation well and you can easily forget which exact way the kun reading goes for a word you only know by recognition. I find it very discouraging when I want to read but I have to have so much mental energy to overcome the cognitive overload. Or else I spend 2 minutes staring at a kanji I know I just saw and know the meaning of but can't recall easily how it is said.
WOW! I can't believe you didn't know the Kanji for my daughter's university in Mita!
Most efficient way I found to get through the 2000~ Joyo Kanji was Heisig's Remembering the Kanji, this uses mnemonics (visual aids) and was incredibly fun and efficient to learn the 2000 kanji and their associated meanings by linking stories to the radicals that make up individual Kanji. I would heavily recommend buying this book and giving it a try.
I tried mnemonics and RTK. It was kind of a disaster for me. I ran out of stories and ran out of imagination around the 500th kanji or so. Also, using the anki program felt like a total burden. It's definitely a good book for some people and bad for others.
Thanks for the motivation! Kanji is really a lot and anything but easy but I think lerning Japanese without kanji doesn't make much sense.
I'm sure many cultures in the past said the same things and eventually changed their writing system to make it easier to communicate. Persia, Turkey, Malay countries, some southeast Asian countries, both Korean countries, ect.
ধন্যবাদ ❤🇧🇩
My goal for 2024 is to finish my first Anki deck, and study Japanese for at least 1 hour every day! I'm currently on day 12 and most days I'll find myself studying a couple more hours than just 1, I'm happy with my progress and I'm excited for the future! :)
トルキ出身です、日本語を学ぶ、貴方のビデオはとてもが好きです。将来日本に行きますね
(sorry for bad japanese I started to learn 3 months ago)
Your name kinda reminds me about Mayuri Shiina from Steins Gate anime (one of my favorites).
Thank you for another video sensei!
Yes, they have the same pronunciations. Just the kanjis are different. (詩奈 vs 椎名)
Also, one is a given (first) name while the other is a surname.
Thanks
My goal for Japanese is simple to one day be able to watch Anime without subtitles or Dubbed into English. I probably won't be able to this year but I'll work on it. I enjoy your teaching style slow enough and stress free. Learn at your own speed. Find methods that work for you and never give up. At least that is what I gotten from your videos. I will try the app and even if my hands will never be able to physically write Kanji as holding pens is a problem
shiina is such a beautiful name
My japanese goal is to continue learning and hopefully be at a jplt 3 level by September when I plan to make first visit which seems possible or at least be in between jplt 4 and 3
On the note I admit my kanji, hiragana and katakana will probably be behind as I am slowly learning the writing system through a combination of duolingo lessons but I also pick it up naturally by seeing it in action
Btw thank you whenever you reply to my comments either here or instagram by writing in the writing systems because it does help me think about what you typed even though I always look up the characters but I am catching on
I'm slowly learning
The best suggestion is to read books . Seeing the kanji in different contexts speeds up memorization. Children books are a good start .
Nice to meet you Shiina. My last name, Zermeño, is derived from the name of a fruit grown in Spain ( Cermeño) a small pear 😊 mi family comes from Valladolid, Spain
nice tips! but for flashcards, I would recommend putting the meaning (kanji) behind and the word you want to remember in front to stimulate your memory. example:
in front: 庭に(dog)がいます。
behind: 犬 • [いぬ]
For some people, it might look the same, but believe me, it's the most effective way.
I also recomand anki, is it is a spased repition that you make yourself.
visualising each kanji with making own strories to each aka heisig method
Hi thank you for your insightful video, I want to learn Kanji but it's difficult for the first time :
Im not sure how difficult it is, but I'd like to take and pass the N5 and maybe N4 this year. But Im not sure how realistic that. But I did just upgrade my mochikanji membership to premium for 2 years and work at it every day. I also use preply and meet with a japanese tutor for an hour once a week. And I spend about 4-6 hours per day listening to natives vlog, give listening practice, and etc type of youtube videos while I work.
I really like the MochiKanji app, I bought the one year subscription a few days ago. The only thing that bothers me a little is that it crashes quite a lot after lessons, leading you to have to do it again because the progress is lost. Now for a memorization app that just happens to reinforce your memory more 😅, but it’s a valid criticism. I hope they will continue to optimize it in the future so it stops happening so frequently.
Beautiful❤❤❤❤
Many many thanks!
Personally, as a native English speaking American, I LOVE kanji! Even if I don’t know how to read or pronounce certain kanji, I can still understand the meaning of them. For example, if I am familiar with the kanji for tree, 木, it does not take a genius intellect or years of study to figure out what “ 森 “ means. Once you understand enough radicals, you can get the gist of what signs and menus are saying; unlike European languages that rely on Roman letters, where you likely STILL can’t pronounce them properly, and have no context for the meaning either (yes, I’m looking at you Swedish! 😂)
I want to move to and live in Japan in a cpl of years, I want to self teach at least to n3 before I am even considering moving
My goal is to learn japanese to a level where I can confidently communicate with people, even with a hard accent. I kinda wanna move to japan one day (tough it's mostly because my country s*cks), live and die there.
It is my goal. My mission.
You just made it a bit easier, so thank you 😉
Given that hiragana is written without spaces between words, I find reading kanji easier than just hiragana.
going to japan in october have 10 months to study!
I hear this objection a lot that if you mush everything together in hiragana, then it’s a mess. Sure, but if you would use spaces between words, like every other language, it would help a LOT! Vietnamese has 6 tones!! And still managed to convert to latin alphabet, with a lot of accents sure.
こんにちは、
このビデオをありがとうございます。私は漢字が好きです。
Arigatho gozaimuz shiina sensei 😇♥️
❤❤❤love from Nepal ❤
honestly I enjoy kanji. whenever i get bored memorizing vocabs and grammar patterns, I switch to writting kanji. I enjoy writting and learning the origin Kanji characters
Username checks out lol
Small, regular efforts lead to big results
kanji melts my brain
ganbare!😊
Is it any book or manual with the most common kanji radicals?
Such a cute name for such a cutie 😍
In college, I reviewed my notes every day for 30 days to memorize important topics for my courses.
Gomen snsi I clicked the thumbnail because you looked like Yui Hatano but now I want to learn Nihonggo for real
Shiina, So your either an extremely talented artist with English roots or your an angel next door?
Hope you get the reference 😅
That's a beautiful name.
I like it😊
先生の名前は綺麗です😊
This of course will work for 300 or 400 kanji, but not the entire 2100+.
This approach is a typical japanese old way of learning.
I believe my way is the key to learn kanji the quickest.
Is there an easier way to understand kun and on readings? Or just a good example
🙏🏻
What are other apps to learn Japanese? I am not able to write on paper to practice because of my disability so I want a way to learn Japanese on my phone with apps
私の今年の目標は、日本語を上手になります🥹🥹あとで、いつか、日本へ行く！😢
Mochi Sensei come to Seattle and teach us Japanese, Please.
Too much violence and crime in dirty Seattle. It's no place for civilized people.
Mochi Sensei would not like it there at all. She likes to visit beautiful places.
Your voice is very cute!
Everything about her is
もちさんはかわいいです、ありがとうございます
sry still learning the basics xD
my motherlanguage is german(ドイツ)
The tips in this video are good. I think it is best to use Heisig's book Remembering the Kanji combined with an SRS program (usually Anki). Its memorization technique is proven to work better than remembering by rote (which is how Japanese children learn the kanji, and hence this becomes the primary way that native Japanese teachers instruct their students to learn kanji).
The main disadvantage of RTK is that the kanji are not covered in order of frequency, so I can see the value of learning the first 100 or so kanji outside RTK, just so you get to very basic literacy. If your goal is to learn all the Jouyou kanji (and beyond) however, this is not a problem.
Another thing about RTK is that it doesn't teach you the readings of the kanji. This is a feature, not a bug. The point of the book is that it allows you to create mental dictionary entries for each jouyou kanji in an extremely short timespan (1-3 months instead of years), which would not be possible if you forced yourself to remember readings as well. Then after RTK, you have a solid foundation to naturally pick up words that use the kanji, and hence the readings.
I tried RTK and it didn't do much for me. The stories got convoluted and I ran out of memorable stores after a while.
I love kanji because they are structuring the sentence. I also have no really problems in memorize them. But here is the sad thing: Even if I know the kanji; half of the time when I saw it in a sentence; this will not be the good reading I got in mind 🤣. For me this is the really difficult thing about kanji. All different readings…
but uh why is my golden hour um... 2 am?
Hi shiina😊
