Why We Don't Teach Readings (yet!) As mentioned in the introduction video to this series ( ruclips.net/video/RKWrWRFyfYo/видео.html ), it is my philosophy that it is a WASTE OF TIME to learn the readings for each kanji in isolation. I explain WHY in that video. To learn how to read kanji, I think it is best to learn WORDS that contain that kanji in the context of SENTENCES. We WILL be doing that in this series, after learning the meanings and writings for the 118 kanji in the JLPT N5 and Kanken 10 tests. So fear not! You WILL be learning how to read them in the near future. 😊
I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for the incredible gift of your free Genki 1 lessons. Your generosity has made a significant impact on my Japanese learning journey, and I feel compelled to share my appreciation. Firstly, a heartfelt thank you for offering these lessons without any cost. Your decision to make quality language education accessible to everyone is truly commendable, and it has made a world of difference for learners like myself. Secondly, I want to express my appreciation for your teaching style. Breaking down complex grammar points and making them more digestible has made learning Japanese feel less daunting. Your clear explanations have been a beacon of light in the sometimes challenging world of language acquisition. On another note, I am grateful for the sense of community you've fostered around your channel. The discussions and forums provide not just a learning space but a supportive community that enhances the overall experience. Moreover, the consistent updates and fresh content you provide keep the learning journey exciting. Your dedication to continuously improving and expanding the learning materials demonstrates your commitment to the growth of your audience. Lastly, discovering your channel was a game-changer for me. The struggles I faced in learning Japanese became more manageable, and the journey became not only educational but also enjoyable. In conclusion, thank you, Andy, for your selfless contribution to the language-learning community. Your impact is immeasurable, and I am truly grateful for the positive influence you've had on my Japanese language learning experience.
How to write 電 in a more satisfying way. 1. Start by writing the 雨, but stop at the point where you have to draw the dividing line. 2. Move onto the bottom part, and stop when it looks like 日. 3. Draw the middle of 雨 and the fish hook in the electricity radical as one radical. 4. Draw the rain in 雨. 5. Be satisfied that the line in 雨 and the fish hook in electricity are finally connected.
Seeing as those three final strokes in "good" show up fairly frequently in kanji, I guess you could say the "left hook" stroke followed by the "double slash" strokes make for a... _good_ combo.
where do you get the components breakdown for your kanji's? As we know there's usually an official radical but there's also many parts and I was curious which website you used to get these parts.
I used various native Japanese dictionaries, and histories. Most of the dictionaries are paid, but one website I use for historical images is ja.m.wiktionary.org/ Many dictionaries disagree with entries here though, so I have to do some deduction to figure out which is most likely. There are no English resources I use, as I haven’t found any that don’t seem to be 90% made up, copied from James Heisig’s “remembering the kanji” or completely lacking in useful information.

田 means field, but hook it in to the electrical cord and it becomes an 'electric' field

This is my first video ive found of yours and i love how informative this is! Definitely going to look into more 💜
"When it rains, sometimes lighting comes down from the sun, specially if you have something metallic like a fishhook"
Thank you for the lesson.
