4 Ways For You To Master Kanji Faster

For many people including me, memorizing nearly 2000 Kanji in the Japanese language is a sort of torture. To tell you the truth, learning Kanji requires a lot of effort. Actually, this is the most difficult process in learning Japanese. But here, I'd like to share some tricks to make Kanji learning faster, so you can deal with Japanese newspapers, Managa, or those confusing subway signs better.

Tactic #1: Ignore the old learning order

What you should do first is to learn the first 100 to 200 Kanji which are used most and begin your journey. But then, step right in front of the ones which are difficult, even if they seldom show up, as you encounter them in your studying. At the very start, it will feel hard, but this approach will actually save you time and energy in the long run because you won't constantly be deferring certain Kanji into the elusive "future."

Tactic #2: Let's get radical!:

Of the 214 radicals, there are 20 or 30 ones used extremely frequently, learn them with a dictionary and you will learn a large part of Kanji. You will become quick at recognizing new Kanji with less effort. You will start to understand what a Kanji means simply by looking at the basic radicals that it is made up of. Memorizing 3-5 composing radicals is much more easy that memorizing 15 individual Japanese Kanji. What you need to do next is to start understanding how the radicals can be put together.

Tactic #3: Dive into the hard things first

With this tactic we're taking a closer look at written Kanji. You should try to take the time to read something in Japanese each day to improve your Japanese. Getting familiar with the way Japanese printed writing works will help you understand common applications of each Kanji you see. With a little practice you should be able to start picking up things naturally.

Tactic #4: Speak Japanese out loud :

Identifying the word, knowing what it refers to, and correct pronunciation are the 3 essentials in learning Kanji. As long as you aren't studying in the library, go ahead and practice reading out loud. Reading Kanji aloud is a great way to kill three birds (learning structure/shape, meaning, and sound) with one, big, noisy stone.

Kanji learning is tough, but you can manage it with some determination. Follow my advice, and your learning speed will increase.
