Why Learn Kanji Easily?
Many learners are often “afraid” of learning Kanji because they think it’s too complicated and time-consuming. However, learning Kanji easily offers many unexpected benefits:
- Elevate your Japanese: Kanji is like the “backbone” of Japanese, helping you easily guess the meaning of vocabulary, understand texts, and communicate more fluently.
- Open up a “new world”: From understanding books and newspapers, watching movies, to searching for information, traveling, working,… everything becomes easier when you master Kanji.
- Train your brain: Learning Kanji is a great way to train your memory, concentration, and logical thinking skills.
You know, according to expert Nguyen Van A, author of “Kanji Conquest Secrets,” “Learning Kanji is not as difficult as you think; the key is the right method and persistence.” So, what is that method? Let’s find out right away.
Easy Kanji Learning Methods
Learning Kanji is not about “cramming,” but a process of exploring, discovering, and applying methods that suit you. Here are some secrets applied by many Kanji “masters”:
1. Learn Through Images and Stories
Forget about dry, boring Kanji learning methods. Instead, turn each Kanji character into a vivid picture with interesting stories.
For example, the character 人 (person) can be visualized as a person walking with two legs spread wide. Or the character 木 (tree) looks like a tree with a trunk and lush foliage.
2. Break Down Radicals and Practice Writing Regularly
Most Kanji characters are made up of radicals. Learning radicals will help you easily remember the structure and meaning of Kanji. In addition, practicing writing Kanji regularly is also an effective way to remember the characters longer.
“Neat handwriting reflects a neat mind,” our ancestors taught us. Persistently practicing handwriting is also training patience and meticulousness, good qualities to have in life.
3. Use Flashcards and Kanji Learning Apps
Flashcards are a useful tool to help you learn Kanji anytime, anywhere. In addition, there are many effective Kanji learning apps on your phone such as Anki, Memrise,… with many diverse learning support features, making learning Kanji more interesting and easier than ever.
4. Learn Through Songs, Movies, and Comics
Learning while playing, playing while learning, why not? Make learning Kanji more fun by watching cartoons, listening to music, or reading Japanese comics. Both entertaining and learning, while also “pocketing” more useful vocabulary and grammar, isn’t that great!
5. Join a Kanji Learning Community
“One tree does not make a forest,” the same applies to learning Kanji. By joining Japanese learning communities, you will have the opportunity to interact, learn from others with similar interests and passions.
Conclusion
Learning Kanji easily is not “impossible.” By applying suitable methods and persistent practice, you can completely conquer the “peak of the Kanji mountain” easily. “HỌC LÀM” believes you will succeed!
