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
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.
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.
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 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.
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
@@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.
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.
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 😅
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.
@@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.
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
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).
Fun fact, in the first "My name is Brad Pitt" example word "nazywam" in no way share etymology with word "name". Literal translation of that one is more like "I'm calling myself Brat Pitt", and it comes from verb "zwać" and the "na" part is just an indication an action was finished (for example "Pisałem książkę" - I was writting a book (but I didn't finish) vs "Napisałem książkę" - I wrote a book (and it's finished now) )
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.
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
As a Chinese, I want to say that the examples he gave are very simple. If you want to learn Chinese characters well, you only have to recite, and there is no other way.

For the dummy one, how i remember is that A dummy where I live is a Pacifier, and for babies to "Shut up" you put a dummy/pacifier in their mouth. You can put a dummy in the screaming mans mouth? idk
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.
Where was the pronunciation? The Heisig method is the same - no mention of how to pronunce the symbols. The overated Heisig book mentioned is free btw on pdfdrive.com, but as I said, it wont teach you how to say one word of japanese. For the first 200 kanji (and also free on pdfdrive.com) there is "Mastering Japanese Kanji level 1 (Glen Nolan Grant, Tuttle press)". Its a similar mnemonic/pictoral approach but, unlike most books and web pages I have seen, it actually shows you the pronunciation (in phonetic English).
That's pretty cool but I don't think that this method works on more complicated Kanji. But anyway I think that will be a good help for many, especially for the beginners.
for the dummy one, I think of the saying "stupid people and smoke will climb to high places." It gives more context to why he's up a tree and it's kinda like a pun.
I guess to fit the other tree in, that's just how the kanji is written. It's common with kanji compounded of other kanji(like how grove has 2 tree kanjis) that they may be a bit distorted, like how in forest the top tree is squished.
This makes me so curious about japanese etymology, my brain immediately thought of dummies thinking they need to be above the tree to catch the falling fruit, like the symbol is a direct evolution of the previous one.
I knoww~~~ Thanks for the encouragement! We have plans and ideas for more stuff like this, but our main focus is English lessons for Japanese students, so it's taking us forever to work our way back to this kanji series. It was a lot of fun, though!

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.
身為一個華人，偶爾分析一下自己熟悉的漢字也是挺有趣的
Why must u hurt me this way

Me: ok so that I’m done with hiragana and katakana I’ll start learning kanji!
My brain and hands: の
Why did you not have the vertical strokes of the mouth part move past the lower horizontal line when you wrote the "apricot" kanji?
I came here because I saw the word "forest" (森) which made me think of Animal Crossing (どうぶつ の 森).
Where was the pronunciation? The Heisig method is the same - no mention of how to pronunce the symbols. The overated Heisig book mentioned is free btw on pdfdrive.com, but as I said, it wont teach you how to say one word of japanese. For the first 200 kanji (and also free on pdfdrive.com) there is "Mastering Japanese Kanji level 1 (Glen Nolan Grant, Tuttle press)". Its a similar mnemonic/pictoral approach but, unlike most books and web pages I have seen, it actually shows you the pronunciation (in phonetic English).
It’s literally the same thing in Chinese so ye I will remember this
eh mainly (:
IIRC, Heisig 1 teaches writing and meaning through a detailed system of mnemonics. Heisig 2 teaches pronunciation (readings) through mnemonics.

I remember dummy as the guy that draws the tree upside down XD "What a DUMMY"
arijan Pasalik that's a good one . I see an apricot tree on a pot, and a "dummy" puts the pot on the top of the tree.
🌷
口
He's a dummy because he sits on top of the tree waiting for the fruit to fall in his mouth.
Hello sir, I want to make video just like this to teach electrician tips but can't know , How you make this kind of video ? Give me the tips please 🙂
"However, the fourth one is completely alien to us"
Me, knowing thai: bruh
Worst. Alphabet. Ever.
That's pretty cool but I don't think that this method works on more complicated Kanji.
But anyway I think that will be a good help for many, especially for the beginners.
便利な漢字ではないような気が…
for the dummy one, I think of the saying "stupid people and smoke will climb to high places." It gives more context to why he's up a tree and it's kinda like a pun.
Very similar to Chinese xD
oh really! uao! :-D
Kanji is Chinese words used in the Japanese language usually with different pronunciation
which writing is faster English or Kanji??
I remember dummy with this phrase; "HAHAHAH! You wrote apricot wrong, you dummy."
Ha, mouth 👄 on top of a tree is dummy. Mouth beneath tree 🎄 is apricot
For grove , why is your stroke for the first tree a little shorter ?
I guess to fit the other tree in, that's just how the kanji is written. It's common with kanji compounded of other kanji(like how grove has 2 tree kanjis) that they may be a bit distorted, like how in forest the top tree is squished.
Mint Mochi Arigatou Gozaimasu
Me when reading easy kanji words;
Me: ah I know that!!! That’s.... that’s.... * thinks of chinese pronunciation only*
Me: sh*t
This makes me so curious about japanese etymology, my brain immediately thought of dummies thinking they need to be above the tree to catch the falling fruit, like the symbol is a direct evolution of the previous one.

You should post more videos in this series!
I knoww~~~ Thanks for the encouragement! We have plans and ideas for more stuff like this, but our main focus is English lessons for Japanese students, so it's taking us forever to work our way back to this kanji series. It was a lot of fun, though!
my language somali is there . ! 4:51

fuck
This video helped me a lot! Thank you!
