For the people trying to learn Japanese. I'm a high school boy which came to Japan 3 years ago, I needed to learn japanese asap and one way to learn a lot is listening to songs that you really like and translating them as you can easily understand the way to read kanjis by what the singer says. Yoasobi is my favorite singer who helped me a lot. Edit: I'm glad that a lot of people seemingly found this helpful!
Thanks for sharing! :D Someone I know did the same with loads of manga, but he ended up using some “aggressive” words but they all knew he was new there. Still, it worked for him. お疲れ様でした 🙇
@@-LightSmit I ended up being extremely romantic ahahah. (luckily or not I actually never went in strange situations but i hear that a lot of people sometimes use "俺" randomly because of anime and this kinda things!)
@@-LightSmit That's my favourite way to learn since it gives you lots of (quasi-)native sounding and engaging study material - imo slice of life like Azumanga Daioh and Nichijou might be the best genre to pick up natural sounding vocab
I'm in Japan and went and bought it today. Immersion learners act like this kinda thing isn't necessary but man I gotta do something to get better with remembering kanji. I've hit the plateau
Took your advice to heart, showed my partner who could track down a book like some literary sniper, and here's hoping I get to add this to my arsenal of textbooks. ありがとうございます。
Can they please find a copy for me?! ☺️ Im half Japanese, but my family never thought it was important to teach me any Japanese. So I’m here, now middle aged, hoping to learn! 😅
Ok Idk why I have this in my recommended since I'm Japanese, but this book is so nostalgic. It had a different cover but the inside pretty much look the same. It was a gift we all got when we graduated kindergarten haha
Maybe this is the kind of book I really need to help me with practicing Japanese literacy. 🤔 I’m a bilingual Japanese adult who has spent most of my life in the US while being raised by a Japanese mom (luckily majored in Literature). I did a bit of self studying on hiragana and katakana was when I was around 10. I didn’t have time for weekend Japanese school for native speakers but I still managed to retain a lot on my own. As of now I can read some kanji but I’d need a dictionary and read more books to read & write at the same level I do with English (college level).
Great review! As someone who's at the halfway point "learning" jouyou kanji using WaniKani, this looks like an amazing tool to help reinforce the kanji I've already reviewed and get exposure to them in a different context. This also makes me want to check out other learning materials aimed at native speakers in primary/middle school.
I've ordered the old version and it costed around 30$ with shipping, the newer one looks really good. The old version has been with me for now 3 months and i haven't opened it up, there are many vocab and grammar point that i still haven't mastered yet.
Cool, I love it and probably want to buy it. Thanks for sharing! I just did a quick search online at Kunokuniya Thailand, which is a Japanese book store, and this book is available there. I will do a quick browsing when I'm in Bangkok.
Is there a second volume to this book with the rest of the common kanji? You've mentioned that after studying with this one you'll still need to learn a little over 1000 more, so I'm curious. Thanks for the video, the book looks so pretty!
Good question! I’ve said before “I’ve searched and couldn’t find any for some time now. That’s why I started Kanji Café, to complete all kanji with meanings, mnemonics and in context combined with the Anki Decks. This book helped me a bunch starting out though as it covers about 50% of extremely important kanji in one book. That’s rare.” Best! 👍☕️ L
Very cool! It’s definitely useful to try and learn kanji in the same order that natives do. Finding a resource like this one can be more difficult for absolute beginners, but if you have a basic understanding it can be far more productive (in my opinion). Also I’ve almost always heard “(Even) the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” as a poetic translation of 千里の道も一歩から. A 里 (り) is an old Japanese unit of measurement approximately 2.44 miles. Maybe you already know all of this… Anyway, excellent video! Thank you for the recommendation!
The few copies of this book sold out on Amazon around the time this vid came out. Then there were used copies of them on Amazon for like 59.99. I think there are still some.. cuz who’s buying it for that much?… I ended up getting mine through Rakuten but since they don’t deliver to the US I had to use Janbox to buy it for me.. total cost, for book on rakuten 12$ with shipping over seas 30-35$. Just took a little time to get it. Nice book tho :)
Hello! I have that book too. As you mention it, it is beautiful and rewarding when you understand the examples. I have been learning japanese by myself for 3 years now and I have just begun this book. It is so great, a kind of dictionary with little stories. Actually, I study the third year. Thank you for the review! greetings from Canada.
I used kodansha learners dictionary, this looks interesting too and maybe more friendly. But it's easier to see patterns and commonalities in kodansha because of the way it is indexed.
How did you decide to go to Japan and how would you recommend getting started planning if someone wanted to move there and live there for a few years? Is it hard to get work or make new acquaintances or friends?
Hey! Thank you for showing off this study material! I'm definitely interested in this as a learning resource, but I have a question about it. I am currently a language student in Japan, and I am N3 level already, will this book be a good supplement to my everyday kanji book for school? We are Using Kanji Master (漢字マスター）For our everyday, but I'd like an alternative as well. I'm wondering if this will just be a repeat of everything I've learned already or if it will be a wider range of kanji.
Wish this could help me understand the conversation scripts from the old Super Robot Taisen game series from F(Kanketsuhen included), Alpha, Impact, MX, Alpha 2 to 3, and the Z trilogies( with their point 2's).
Is this a book in a series? As in, does there exist a second volume and so on to cover up to all the Jouyou kanji? In addition, is there another volume to cover the Jinmeiyou kanji?
Hi. I’ve searched and couldn’t find any for some time now. That’s why I started Kanji Café, to complete all kanji with meanings, mnemonics and in context combined with the Anki Decks. This book helped me a bunch starting out though as it covers about 50% of extremely important kanji in one book. That’s rare. Best! 👍☕️ L
Nice review!. I'm starting on my own to learn japanese, but I found books in aliexpress which are chinese based or purely japanese. What book do you recommend in a second language? (I can read english, spanish or portuguese). Regards!.
Yea... I got one. I was worried 'cause someone was selling them for almost $60. I got one for $21, which is only about twice what it would have cost in Japan. ????
I would choose this book because I already knew some vocabulary when I started my kanji journey. It doesn't cover everything but it is good at motivating bigginers with the pictures, sentences and English meaning.
Not that I have seen, though it's indeed a great challenge to do the first 1026 kanji of Japanese. WhenI find that book someday, I'll upload it, although I have a school book covering middle school kanji so I'll make a video about it, which is not for sale I think. Best - L
@@-LightSmit thanks for that. I'm not fussed about how the appealing the books are. If I can learn all the commonly kanji so Ill have no troubles for jlpt
No matter where I look on Amazon it always says "we don't know when or if this will be available" ... Please could you recommend an alternative website to get this from?
Hi. It’s not based on JLPT level, but these are the first 1026 kanji, so they’re super important. My guess is that it ranges from all the JLPT N5 and N4, then some N3, N2 and N1, but not all of them. I bought this book at a bookstore in Japan, and found it in the Japanese learning section for kids, not foreigners. I hope this helps 👍☕️
Sure. Here’s Kanji Café Book 1 [Package]: payhip.com/b/XQPUW Personally it’s an upgrade of the 2500 for foreigners book in every way, as I’ve planned to make it the best. That being said, not everyone prefers the same resources 👍☕️ Enjoy
@@user-uy9vb1ht3n I went to the book again and you're right, my mistake. The meaning is written in Japanese at the top, but it gets hard if you don't already know some Japanese. Reading the meaning of the vocabulary you get the general meaning. I personally like to attach a word to a meaning or two, then over time this kanji will actually become real (practical) when used in sentences and with other combinations of kanji. Have fun :)
I'm planning on buying this book but what makes me doubt is the fact that there are only 1026 kanji because I saw another book that has 2500. But this one is really beautiful with all the colors and stuff. Question: do the remaining 1474 kanji cover higher levels? Do you know? Thank you in advance
There not exactly the same yes they do have the general same meaning. There read and pronounced differently some might be used more often in Chinese vs Japanese. Then you have the issue of simplified vs traditional. Even some of the kanji have change and simplified some over the years. It is not as simple as a 1 to 1 comparison.
@@hillsongbest3818 no it's not yes some characters are the same but not every character or there not used in the same way as Chinese characters. Some of the character combinations and the way japanese uses kana in combination with kanji makes it different. While if you learn Chinese characters you will get a general meaning of Japanese you won't know every character as do to simplification of the characters even in Japanese some of them just don't exist or are un able to be readable by someone who reads Chinese. As the way they are simified added changed combined to form new character that might not exist in chinese.
@@hillsongbest3818 I could say safety as an kanji enthusiast (if that exist), Japanese people still take a different approach to Chinese character. It's understandable that my last example wasn't very good, how about this? Vast, Wide. 廣 (Traditional) 广 (Simplified) 広 (Japanese) Still not impressed? drive 驅 (Traditional) 驱 (Simplified) 駆 (Japanese) I'll give you a bit of history, many parts of East Asian countries who relied on the Chinese language eventually developed their own separated ways of utilizing it. Japan was having it's language reform as a part of increasing the literacy for the Japanese people, what we call these new Japanese character are Shinjitai (新字体), it was a reaction movement after the period of World War II.
@@honey3762 i have a negative opinion on kanjis. I think its a failed writing system and requires a very long time to merely get good at it, not even mastering it.
@@noobmaster006 Well, that's your opinion and you can keep that to yourself. Mine is a different case because I find Kanji enjoyable and that gives me more motivation to continue studying Japanese. And you said you think that Kanji is a failed system, what do you mean? Can you explain a bit further?
@@noobmaster006 failed writing system used by millions of people in different countries? I think it's just different than what you're used to. We have some things in English that are kind of like kanji, like the question mark, ampersand, or pound sign. Those things represent meaning, and you can understand them. Kanji is in a sense taking the same idea and making that the bulk of the writing system
@@noobmaster006 I think Outdated is a more suitable word than Failed. Since Kanji is just Chinese Hanzi used in Japanese Context. And Hanzi have the same origin as Cuneiform, Mesopotamian Writing System which no one used anymore and is already in the brink of extinction.

小学校の頃漢字を家で勉強した記憶があまり無いな

だけ覚えればいいんじゃないかと思う
子供の頃の学習能力は確かにすごいけど大人になってしばらく使わない漢字はかなり曖昧な物も増えてきた。変換機能があるので大丈夫だけど手書きでとなると一瞬迷う事が多々あるのが情けない今日この頃。海外生活が長くなりますます怪しくなる一方です。日本語勉強中の皆さん頑張ってください。私も頑張ります。

Nevermind, I bought it. Couldn't help myself 🔥🔥🔥🔥 I highly suggest this book for beginner and intermediate learners
Is there a way to buy a pdf version of this book?
Hi 👋 Not that I’m aware of no. I hope you find something similar/ helpful to you. L

Why not learn Chinese hanzi ?
There not exactly the same yes they do have the general same meaning. There read and pronounced differently some might be used more often in Chinese vs Japanese. Then you have the issue of simplified vs traditional. Even some of the kanji have change and simplified some over the years. It is not as simple as a 1 to 1 comparison.
There is a difference between Japanese kanji and Chinese hanzi...
話 VS 话
愛 VS 爱
@@faizyusuf2470 yes,if compared to the simplifed writing. the traditional one is same...繁體漢字，語言，愛情
@@hillsongbest3818 no it's not yes some characters are the same but not every character or there not used in the same way as Chinese characters. Some of the character combinations and the way japanese uses kana in combination with kanji makes it different. While if you learn Chinese characters you will get a general meaning of Japanese you won't know every character as do to simplification of the characters even in Japanese some of them just don't exist or are un able to be readable by someone who reads Chinese. As the way they are simified added changed combined to form new character that might not exist in chinese.
@@hillsongbest3818 I could say safety as an kanji enthusiast (if that exist), Japanese people still take a different approach to Chinese character.
It's understandable that my last example wasn't very good, how about this?
Vast, Wide.
廣 (Traditional)
广 (Simplified)
広 (Japanese)
Still not impressed?
drive
驅 (Traditional)
驱 (Simplified)
駆 (Japanese)
I'll give you a bit of history, many parts of East Asian countries who relied on the Chinese language eventually developed their own separated ways of utilizing it. Japan was having it's language reform as a part of increasing the literacy for the Japanese people, what we call these new Japanese character are Shinjitai (新字体), it was a reaction movement after the period of World War II.
the time it takes to learn kanjis is the same amount of time to learn a whole friggin new language.
Idk using remembering the kanji streamlines it, it takes time but it is fun
@@honey3762 i have a negative opinion on kanjis. I think its a failed writing system and requires a very long time to merely get good at it, not even mastering it.
@@noobmaster006 Well, that's your opinion and you can keep that to yourself. Mine is a different case because I find Kanji enjoyable and that gives me more motivation to continue studying Japanese. And you said you think that Kanji is a failed system, what do you mean? Can you explain a bit further?
@@noobmaster006 failed writing system used by millions of people in different countries? I think it's just different than what you're used to. We have some things in English that are kind of like kanji, like the question mark, ampersand, or pound sign. Those things represent meaning, and you can understand them. Kanji is in a sense taking the same idea and making that the bulk of the writing system
@@noobmaster006 I think Outdated is a more suitable word than Failed. Since Kanji is just Chinese Hanzi used in Japanese Context.
And Hanzi have the same origin as Cuneiform, Mesopotamian Writing System which no one used anymore and is already in the brink of extinction.
It’s 50 dollars on Amazon … 🥲
