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. 😊
The kanji for "stone" 「石」 is very similar to that for "right" 「右」, which is a bit confusing... 😵💫The story, explanations and tips in the video help to differentiate them. 👍 As for the kanji for "red" 「赤」, I personally find it very easy to memorize because I automatically associate "earth" 「土」 and "fire" 「火」 with the color red. Although some people may think of "earth" as "brown" and others as "green", if you think of the clay that is extracted from the earth and soil, it's easier to think of red. Red clay is also baked in a fire, so perhaps you can use these elements to build a mnemonic. I hope it helps someone, but if it doesn't, then don't do it! 😋
Even if "punch-lines" and "punch-expressions" may seem exaggerated and even forced, they are useful. In this case, where memorization is important, the "exaggeration" helps precisely to "force into one's head" certain words, expressions and ideas. It's a kind of "hammered memorization". Kanji is hard 🤕
I wonder if that initial reading is how we got 赤-chan for baby instead of using the Kanji for birth? Because, putting fire into a person at birth, makes quite a lot of sense.
Some of the stories don't work for me and I think there's a website where prople share their own stories, but I can't remember what's the name of it. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
I'll tell the story for wind I made before you do... the WIND is a katakana ノ lying down(一) on a(一) florescent worm on top of a CLIFF over a pirate treasure marked with an red (X): 気 The wind does tend to hit things on top of high places better, and I think no just wanted to keep guard for the pirates, since a red X mark over their treasures is so obvious.

my story is: the moon wears a crown, once in a blue moon.
9:58 lmfao i know for a fact we would've never gotten to this kind of humor if we didn't make it this far
good job guys!!
Earth (⼟) and fire (⽕) create magma, red (赤) in colour.
I love when one of your videos have a bunch of kanji I don't know, love your videos, thanks for making...
Loved the video. Thanks for your hard work. 😊
Thank you for these lessons. It gets so fun with the tutorials.
This is one of my favorite series you ever made. Educational and I’ve laughed many times! It really helps!
