Why do they just write with the cirilic hebrew indian arabic or roman alphabet lol, like the nornal people

Hello Kensei. I just started learning japanese last week (After starting with your first lesson) and I'm done memorising kana (hiragana and katakana with Dakuon, Handakuon and Yoon variants). What do you think are the next steps in my learning journey?

Amazing stuff, thank you!

ありがとう先生

My biggest hurdle right now is.... how do I know if a word is foreign to Japan? With that being the deciding factor, it's difficult to tell currently. That said, is it "bad" to write foreign words in hirigana? or just weird?

I have been watching many the teaching episodes of learning Japanese. Yours is the clearest and very easy to understand as you explained it step by step, and the greatest of all, you gave a lot of examples to demonstrate. So please let me know where I should start from as a very beginner. Could you show me the lesson sequence so that I can learn Japanese in a more orderly way? Many many thanks!!

The part about radicals is slightly misleading. Each kanji has one and only one radical. A radical is simply a way to index the characters. This is also a thing that goes back to China. They are the Kangxi Radicals (康熙部首). While it's true that 亻and 木 are both radicals, the radical for 休 is 亻only. Other kanji may have 木 as a radical e.g., 栄. Kanji are actually made of components. Exactly one of which is the "assigned" radical for that kanji (even if the other components are the radical for different kanji). The primary use case for radicals is to index the characters in a dictionary. You can look up 休 only by going to the 亻section of the dictionary. You won't find it under the 木 section.

Bro just like my dad, going to buy some milk

Just started learning hiragana like 4 days ago and I thought that was hard enough but Kanji sounds dreadful😭 still gonna it try tho cus its worth the struggle I hope

holy crap ive been struggling what the wa particle meant this entire time. this was a great way of explaining it.Thank you so much sorry for the uber late comment

I'm taking notes as if I'm in a lecture. This is goingbto be one hell of a journey😂

Why i feel like i need to learn english term from him prior to learn japanese

This is great tysm😭🥹

Has anyone in Japan ever talked seriously about simplifying the Japanese writing? I've pondered this for a bit and often come back to the same conclusion, it seems unnecessary to use all three. I'll explain. The oldest of Japanese writing is in the form of barrowed script, Kanji from China. Along the way, both hiragana and katakana were easier to learn and simplified. However, I see Kanji used with Hiragana script written over the Kanji, which to me is redundant. If using the simpler Hiragana in addition to a Kanji character is deemed necessary, then why use it at all, if the Hiragana make more sense to the average Japanese reader? There are over 2,200 Kanji characters that must be learned by grade school students, over 12 years. But when you ask many Japanese adult people if they remember all the Kanji, many say, no. I also argue that Kanji if far more complicated to learn than Hiragana, far more strokes in most Kanji, and far less strokes in hiragana. For example, I wrote this not long ago... Here is my question; in writing, お願いします instead of おねがいします, why use the Kanji 願 for ねが (ne ga, or nega) when it seems simpler and easier to simply white out the hiragana form, ねが instead? Also, why then use the Kanji form, 願 , if for example (as shown here in this video), that the hiragana form, ねが , is written above the kanji? Why then use the Kanji? It seems unnecessary and redundant. I don't get it. Yeah, I get that the Kanji is one character, but it is not a simpler character to write than the two characters for 'ne' and 'ga,' or ねが. That was an example of why I argue that Kanji is redundant; if one is going to use it, but then place Hiragana or Katakana script over the Kanji to convey the meaning, then why use Kanji at all? Again, I argue that forcing students to learn an ancient script because of some 'tradition,' it just forces students to learn something entirely difficult rather than focusing on other more important learning lessons. It would seem, to me, far easier to learn Hiragana, even if it adds a few more characters at the ease of less strokes than to use a complicated Kanji that most Japanese forget over time. And again, I get why the Hiragana and Katakana are used, but since most of the Katakana used is so 'normalized' today in Japan, this too seems unnecessary.

I have a question, If there are two ways to pronounce words, I was wondering if the Japanese added new words to their vocabulary from Chinese ? "San" in Japanese and Chinese means 3

Thanks

Thanks bro ur a good teacher

i just discovered your channel today! what a great day. thanks so much sensei. It's clear and precise. :)

As a Chinese i think Chinese/Japanese kanji are the coolest writing system on earth, we have art calligraphy and the characters look majestic

Great detail, in such little time, you're very succinct -- very nice :)

Checked your channel got scared because you didn’t post you still heart comments phew

Thank you for this lesson.

Well Explained. Thanks.

Can compound kanji be read in just it’s Kun-Yomi form? If not then why can’t it be? Wouldn’t it just be easier to read it the way Japanese people speak it sense you’re Japanese already speaking the Japanese language? Why read it in a similar way that Chinese people read it. I understand historical reasons from way back when but it’s the 21st century, wouldn’t it be easier to read every compound Kanji in Kun-yomi?

OMG TT THANK YOU SO MUCH. I FINALLY UNDERSTAND TT. i have a question. sometimes a kanji has more than 1 kunyomi/ onyomi right? how do i know which one to use? (if it doesnt make sense, heres an example. so the onyomi of the kanji tree is boku AND/OR moku, which one of the two should i use? or the kunyomi is ki AND/OR ko, which one should i use out of the two?)
