Before you study Kanji

infonihongoschool — 2023-05-05 14:33:54 UTC

Why do you use Kanji? What are the keys to memorize kanji? Visit the Marugoto Plus website and go through the introduction.

60 Kanji for Start

infonihongoschool — 2023-05-05 14:37:06 UTC

If Duolingo or WaniKani aren't for you, let's learn a few Kanji at a time on Marugoto Pluse A1 website. 60 Kanji - once you remember 50%, go to the next stage (100 or 200 kanji)!

Check the Kanji App too.

Sirabe Jisho and Yomiwa - the best mobile apps

infonihongoschool — 2023-05-05 14:45:37 UTC

'Shirabe Jisho' is for iOS. For Android, 'Yomiwa' is the same kind and free.

Google Translate reads Katakana word

infonihongoschool — 2023-05-05 14:53:38 UTC

Copy the shapes onto the pad on Google Translate! When you cannot read Katakana during reading comprehension, don't skip it and try this way.

Try WaniKani

infonihongoschool — 2023-05-05 15:03:43 UTC

Many of my adult students who have strong Kanji skills studied with WaniKani. Worth a try 5mins every day as you can learn hundreds of kanji easily if the method works for you.

Kanji Garden - Block building method

infonihongoschool — 2023-05-05 15:52:32 UTC

Similar to WaniKani. Kanji Garden’s mobile app may look simpler and better than WK on a phone. https://kanji.garden/

It's time to learn Japanese Typing

infonihongoschool — 2023-05-05 16:38:15 UTC

To keep your Kanji alive, you should use them. Have a typing practice and start texting with Kanji.

Genki Grammar Video L1-12

infonihongoschool — 2023-05-05 16:52:06 UTC

Genki's Grammar range is sufficient for taking GCSE Japanese if you learnt them all up to L12.
