This will be a video series on how to learn kanji from absolute scratch. I’ll be running through the website kanjidamage.com as this is the best online free kanji program I have found. In this video I’ll be running through the way to use the site as well as explaining how kanji works and how to effectively study kanji.
As I explain in the video, the ‘usual’ way to learn kanji, for example a kanji textbook, is one of the worst ways to learn kanji. That may seem confusing, and considering its how Japanese people learn kanji, you’d think it would be the best way, just copy what the native speakers do… right? wrong.
Japanese people learn kanji despite using textbooks, and the fact that they are native speakers helps mask this weakness, never mind the thousands of hours of work that even Japanese people have to put into learning kanji throughout school (and cram school). so work smarter, not harder, and see how easy learning kanji can be through this website!
There is an official kanjidamage deck for anki which I would highly recommend to help you practice.
