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
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.
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. :)

Hi i'm from Chile. my native language is the Spanish and I want to learn Japanese and English i don't know how to learn for myseft, but I'll learn anyway
「s o o - r i」 What are you using to study? I’m using Duolingo and I was able to learn the hiragana alphabet in about 5 days (I can read, but not write yet). You should try it if you haven’t already!
Seeing you wrote onna, I remember what my teacher said in uni: Sensei: Do you all know why female ninja is called kunoichi? Sensei: * writes く、ノ、一 (ku , no, ichi) and it became 女* The class: *surprised pikachu face*
That’s a great way to remember both the word for kunoichi and the kanji 女！ He doesn’t write it here, but I will never forget the kanji for mother (母) because my Japanese teacher told us when she was in elementary school, her teacher told the class to remember it like: does your mother have big 母 or small 母? So now I will never not think of boobs when writing 母 lmao
And the stupidest thing I did in my university carrier is mistaking mouth (口) as katakana for "ro" (ロ). I sat there, in the middle of the final test at the reading comprehension section, wondering why the sentence doesn't make sense lmao
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.
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 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
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 🙏🏾
目 is literally an eye. Above and below rectangles are eyelids and the middle rectangle is the eyeball. 火 has the main flame and 2 ashes flying away on each side. 口 is an wide opened mouth.
ありがとうございます I'm studying japanese by my own on internet this year and, besides Hiragana and Katakana I almost learned all these kanjis. Watching your videos so far was very useful. I am an old woman 58 y.o. . 🙏
Katakana ist easier to learn because you can find them whenever a word from another language ist translated. I learned a lot of Katakana by trying to translate Japanese reimported CD-booklets - yes, I still buy CD's!
Same for me, no matter what type of characters / alphabets, in any kind of languages, my handwriting is horrible as always. Even my hand signatures is so inconsistent, and is not really 100% the same in its shape every each time i draw my hand signature.
My handwriting in my native language, russian and latin letters as well is atrocious to the point where people ask me what words I wrote... I'm almost scared of writing kanji characters because I know it ain't gonna end well lmao
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 !!
zhangaloser actually the two new systems (hiragana and katakana) were naturally occurred as ancient Japanese tried to write letters easier, not like "let's make another system!(=ﾟωﾟ)" Sorry for serious reply ^_^;
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 took extension japanese classes in high school where we actually did have to write essays on paper, in our final exam we were given 40 minutes to write 600ji (about 1 and a half pages of japanese boxed essay paper like you see in the video). it's not as fast as writing in english but since japanese uses a mix of kanji and kana it's not so bad. writing an essay in only chinese characters would be a different story though, RIP to the hands of all chinese language students.
I’m Chinese. This reminds me of when I was in elementary school we need to practice hand writing so often, especially in lower grades. As a kid I used to hate that but now I miss that so much. It’s been so long since the last time I hand wrote something other than my signature.
aspol12 I have been in Canada for more than 5 years and since I came here I almost have no chance to write Chinese except for my signature. Even when back in China we also rarely hand wrote because so many things are electronic.

Very nice hand-writing! I can't write that much clear and satisfied. 0:10 "권리" is correct translation, but, that kanji is the direction. So, "오른쪽" is the right translation. (If other Korean speaker noted, please ignore this comment.)
@@doublecircus yeah in one day ive already gotten the hang of hiragana now im trying to master katakana! (* - *) although my methods consisted of writing each character more than 10 times after learning their sounds
@@sapphire_music7080 it sounds like a compliment to me lol, like imagine your language using characters that look like art to some people, the english alphabet cant relate :')
if you learned 2 kanji each day without forgetting them, you would have learned 750 characters in a year... which makes 2190 in three years... so by the end of the college you would be "fluent" at kanji :DD i mean would be able to read newspapers and manga
@cold yeah, Japan sent scholars to China to learn their language to input it to their own language. It’s not literally the same as Chinese though, some Chinese kanji doesn’t exist in Japanese and they both differ in the way you read them.

@@TristanBanks the arabic translations are kinda wrong tho haha, for example right (direction) is translated to right (as in right like law and all lol) the direction right in arabic is يمين
Believe me, In general, kanji is much harder to look shitty compare to other writing systems. Because It has aesthetic design by it's nature, its pretty much impossible to fuck it up so hard to make it look ugly.
Cristina Elia Ive recently taken the plunge into kanji but I know a arduous journey is ahead of me, I only know spanish and English sorry if you didn’t care or I’m a bother I just wanted to share something to you
Thank you, at last I can learn how to really write the kanji forming all the strokes properly, makes it all click into place in my mind, somehow… plus it is such a joy to simply watch this, it’s like watching a performance of beauty and flawless grace…. 💖
Your not wrong at all. Having gone to Switzerland and France and being able to speak a bit...but not understand the writing. Is a truely horrifying feeling, you feel as if you are the stupidest person alive or you feel like the world just got a whole lot harder to navigate.
As a traditional Chinese user I would tell you it shouldn't be too good looking. In fact, I am still not quite good at writing as an adult, either in Chinese or English
If you are profecient in Chinese, or any language, every character, word or slang has a shape. When we read fast, our mind fills in the gaps, regardless of language. Same goes to kanji or Chinese. We take the general shape of the character and identify it through context. It would be painstakingly slow to read every single character as it is.
Others struggle with the writing while us Chinese would struggle with the pronunciation. When I see 下，my instincts take over and I say _xià_ instead of _shita_
same xd im not even a native chinese speaker, but ive been learning mandarin for about 6 months now im nowhere near proficient but i can still recognise quite a lot of kanji, so i keep messing up the pronounciation because i started learning chinese first lol
I always hear about that difficulty for Chinese speakers, and I'm just wondering if that could be me someday😂 After watching one C-drama I mixed up simple stuff like zhong and naka, but it did get me more interested in Chinese :) Maybe I'll not get ahead of myself and continue with Japanese first :3
I was thinking one day that when 木 is tree, 林 is woods, 森 if forest. 本 is a book and in my logic 本本 will be books and 本本本 will be library. Same as mori kanji but 3 horizontal lines added. :D Btw that kanji drawing looks so cool. :)
blackheavyblans good idea but unluckily we asian don‘t use this charactor. In China we use “图（drawing）书（book，in traditional Chinese 書）馆（cultural or sports building）” or “圕（library）”
as a kid, my mum used to tell me stories to remember the characters. one of these stories was about a guy who learned how to write 1, 2, 3 (一二三) and for his coming of age ceremony, he had to write out his name, which had the character 100 (百) in it. thing is, he followed the increasing line pattern and ended up writing 100 strokes for his name
tell my wifi love her there is an old story in China：a guy learns 一 二 三 then he thinks he knows all. When he writes his wife‘s family name he finds that his wife’s family name is 万（means 10000）
0:07 right - migi 0:23 rain - ame 0:41 circle - en 0:53 king - oh 1:05 sound - oto 1:23 under - shita 1:32 fire - hi 1:45 flower - hana 2:02 shell - kai
I think that is the biggest mistake many of us make right from the start though. Letting ourselves get intimidated by the sheer amount of ALL kanji, instead of taking it a bit of the time. The video itself says 80 kanji for FIRST graders, in other words, Japanese children aren't learning all 2000 at once either.
@@krispy2669 Kanji is written as 漢字 (かんじ）in Japanese, literally meaning Sino-Characters. It's not their writing system. It's like saying the Latin alphabet is England's writing system because English uses it.
Noah Parsons u saying it’s the not China’s system? What I was saying is Kanji is Chinese characters, but the Japanese used the Chinese characters and changed the pronouncement. When I say changed the pronouncement, they used their own hiragana pronouncement but the actual Chinese pronouncements remain. I’m also half Chinese.
Kanji isn't hard, just really time consuming and need constant repetition initially, rare readings is something you need to go back and check on every once in a while. I know it looks really intimidating.
@@pitioti Things aren't hard. You just need to put in the effort. Calling things "hard" is just a weird excuse to put in the effort. Sure kanji isn't for everyone.
@@英語わかりません Seriously, read your own comment, you are constantly self-contradicting yourself... And being a bit disdainful. Kanji is hard, because it take a lot of time and effort to learn it. Like climbing a mountain. Hangeul is easy, because it's and alphabet AND simple characters, so, it's quick to learn it, like a nice stroll in a plain.
Time consuming can mean something is hard. It's difficult to get the motivation or the time to do things like this, not to mention that you will encounter difficulty sometimes. But that's part of it, and it happens in everything. Kanji IS hard. However, it's not impossible.
To be honest, I don't mind putting times into learning. You know the kanji better and better along the time. I can deal with it. No, what prevents me to learn Japanese is the oral. How do you distinguish ki, the air, the gaz, the atmosphere, the mood, the feeling, the inclinaison, etc. And all that just for a monosyllabic word…
Once i had a guide about interpreting Japanese Kanji. As far as I remember... 0:03 one, it means one equals one stroke or stick. 0:20 the crossed lines represent a hand and the square is a mouth "The hand you use to eat". 0:35 a cloud and rain falling from it. 0:52 a circle, but due to the squareness of kanji, is drawn that way. 1:20 the sun is represented by the small square under a pictograph of a man standing up resembling the sense of awakeness and the sound of things in the morning. 1:30 the upper line represents the ground and the lower draw represents something beneath.1:41 that's the shape of fire 2:31 a small boy receiving stuff or knowledge into his head and a hand is putting it inside his 3:10 the left draw is a radical for "man" and the left one is a tree " a man resting over a tree". 3:40 a metal that shines even inside a house.4:57 an open mouth. 5:24 a hand handling some sort of tool or a rule "The hand you use to grab something for work". 5:38 tree strokes or sticks. 5:48 the simplest way to draw a mountain. 5:59 a little boy that has to be cared in arms.7:27 The simplest representation of a carriage, today's is used for cars as well. 7:46 two arms crossing one over the other, every arm has a hand and every hand has five fingers.. 7:59 a sapling or a plant sprouting form the ground. 8:12 "a woman is the one who can create a new life from inside" or "can be pregnant". 8:34 the lower line is the ground and the upper draw is a plant. 8:55 "a forest is comprised of many trees". 9.06 " a man". 10:13 "the waxing moon behind a mountain". 10:25 a hand grabbing a stone. 10:43 Fire from beneath the ground.11:04 a water flow. 11:32 the sun too close to the horizon at dawn. 12:33 a man with his arms wide open.12:52 the force that works the rice paddies. 14:07 this is how a rice paddy looks like. 14:42 "a day" or "the sun" 16:12 also represents "origin". 16:27 a "mouth" calling out to somebody in the night -by his/her name-. Those are all I remember, please if I'm wrong, let me know PEACE..!

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.
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. :)

the transcription of the Japanese 'Kanji' is similar, if not the same to the Korean 'Hanja'. (obviously pronunciation is different)
Korean:
月 -> 월 [wol] (달 - moon)
火 -> 화 [hwa] (불 - fire)

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.

If you change the square part on circle to a circle, it looks like a bum with two legs

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 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
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 🙏🏾
In second grade they learn twice as many new kanji😭By 6th grade they will have learned atleast 1,000 kanji
Indeed, it is really difficult for us.

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.

This is like the best handwriting I've ever seen. I've known these kanji for years, I'm honestly just here to admire how pretty it is.
I was half-expecting circle to be written as a circle lol
It would have come...full circle
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.
meanwhile in china we write 圈 for circle😂
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.
Kanji Rules wouldn’t allow that. It’s not hangul ;-;. I want it as a circle tho..
Writes 'circle' in Japanese

As a traditional Chinese user I would tell you it shouldn't be too good looking.
In fact, I am still not quite good at writing as an adult, either in Chinese or English
But still reconizable
It’s not hard for first graders to write like this.
If you are profecient in Chinese, or any language, every character, word or slang has a shape. When we read fast, our mind fills in the gaps, regardless of language. Same goes to kanji or Chinese. We take the general shape of the character and identify it through context. It would be painstakingly slow to read every single character as it is.

Kathryn Khoo You learn the pronunciation much faster when you listen more to it.
My brain is full of my hometown dialect when I look at them not mandarin lol
Botanic cat What was it? Let's see if we speak the same dialect.
Kathryn Khoo try being an English and learning kanji
@@salazar7274 its not as easy as it seems, I also sometimes read kanji in chinese lol
When even their writing system is artistic
Cygnets Forever their writing system? It’s China’s system.
This is Kanji, Kanji is Chinese characters but pronounced in Japanese/Hiragana
@@krispy2669 Kanji is written as 漢字 (かんじ）in Japanese, literally meaning Sino-Characters. It's not their writing system. It's like saying the Latin alphabet is England's writing system because English uses it.
Noah Parsons u saying it’s the not China’s system? What I was saying is Kanji is Chinese characters, but the Japanese used the Chinese characters and changed the pronouncement. When I say changed the pronouncement, they used their own hiragana pronouncement but the actual Chinese pronouncements remain. I’m also half Chinese.
Regular hand writing and calligraphy is way more interesting 👍
Kanji isn't hard, just really time consuming and need constant repetition initially, rare readings is something you need to go back and check on every once in a while. I know it looks really intimidating.
Time consuming is part of what I call "being hard" for a language/script XD
@@pitioti Things aren't hard. You just need to put in the effort. Calling things "hard" is just a weird excuse to put in the effort. Sure kanji isn't for everyone.
@@英語わかりません Seriously, read your own comment, you are constantly self-contradicting yourself... And being a bit disdainful.
Kanji is hard, because it take a lot of time and effort to learn it. Like climbing a mountain.
Hangeul is easy, because it's and alphabet AND simple characters, so, it's quick to learn it, like a nice stroll in a plain.
Time consuming can mean something is hard. It's difficult to get the motivation or the time to do things like this, not to mention that you will encounter difficulty sometimes. But that's part of it, and it happens in everything. Kanji IS hard. However, it's not impossible.
To be honest, I don't mind putting times into learning. You know the kanji better and better along the time. I can deal with it.
No, what prevents me to learn Japanese is the oral. How do you distinguish ki, the air, the gaz, the atmosphere, the mood, the feeling, the inclinaison, etc. And all that just for a monosyllabic word…

Once i had a guide about interpreting Japanese Kanji. As far as I remember...
0:03 one, it means one equals one stroke or stick. 0:20 the crossed lines represent a hand and the square is a mouth "The hand you use to eat". 0:35 a cloud and rain falling from it. 0:52 a circle, but due to the squareness of kanji, is drawn that way. 1:20 the sun is represented by the small square under a pictograph of a man standing up resembling the sense of awakeness and the sound of things in the morning. 1:30 the upper line represents the ground and the lower draw represents something beneath.1:41 that's the shape of fire 2:31 a small boy receiving stuff or knowledge into his head and a hand is putting it inside his 3:10 the left draw is a radical for "man" and the left one is a tree " a man resting over a tree". 3:40 a metal that shines even inside a house.4:57 an open mouth. 5:24 a hand handling some sort of tool or a rule "The hand you use to grab something for work". 5:38 tree strokes or sticks. 5:48 the simplest way to draw a mountain. 5:59 a little boy that has to be cared in arms.7:27 The simplest representation of a carriage, today's is used for cars as well. 7:46 two arms crossing one over the other, every arm has a hand and every hand has five fingers.. 7:59 a sapling or a plant sprouting form the ground. 8:12 "a woman is the one who can create a new life from inside" or "can be pregnant". 8:34 the lower line is the ground and the upper draw is a plant. 8:55 "a forest is comprised of many trees". 9.06 " a man". 10:13 "the waxing moon behind a mountain". 10:25 a hand grabbing a stone. 10:43 Fire from beneath the ground.11:04 a water flow. 11:32 the sun too close to the horizon at dawn. 12:33 a man with his arms wide open.12:52 the force that works the rice paddies. 14:07 this is how a rice paddy looks like. 14:42 "a day" or "the sun" 16:12 also represents "origin". 16:27 a "mouth" calling out to somebody in the night -by his/her name-. Those are all I remember, please if I'm wrong, let me know PEACE..!
