I started yesterday using heisig.
Right now I have to figure this out.

>>2639732
I still cant write Kagura

>>2639757

I notice that.

Memorizing kanji out of context --- useless
Memorizing "meanings" of kanji --- useless
This thread --- useless

蓬ka 莱gu 山ra　輝hourai 夜san

might as well be giving chinese lessons

>>2639774
It's not useless at all. The key is to learn both, though, rather than just one.

Yes, some kanji are only used in the context of a compound, but don't expect that you'll only ever see kanji used properly - good luck with anything by Nasu, for example.

>>2639687

what's this program?

>>2639647
Rather do something like >>2639777 did.
just add what the fuck the kanji mean in genlish.

Anon will learn more that way.

>>2639790
good ol' JWPce

>kanji of the week

oh man that shit's too hard for me, right now I am studying hiragana and right now it's my 3rd week - I think it's time to move on to "sa"

(you pronounce it like sarcasm, fyi)

Whats the difference between kana and kanji?

Anonymous should try enrolling into a university programme which, for instance, may demand 150 a week.

>>2639855
kanji are only used by men and kana by women

they're pronounced the same but since men are more intelligent the kanji are a bit harder to memorize

>>2639813

thank you very much

>>2639875
so I should not care about kana?

>>2639855

Everything?

Everything that isn't kana is kanji.

Kanji can be pronounced lots of ways, kana only what they are.

There are thousands of kanji as they're logograms, and kana are a form of alphabet.

>>2639889
Then why the fuck do japanese use kanji?!?

>>2639889

>alphabet

Syllabary

>>2639906

It's faster to read, fixes the "too many homonyms" issue, text with only Kana burns my eyes, lol traditionalism... things like that.

>>2639906

no
fucking
clue.

Alphabets are easier to learn, but they do allow for a hell of a lot more confusion (LOL HOMONYMS).

>>2639921

>Syllabary

Alphabet-made-of-particles-and-not-letters.

>>2639889
If you're going to start using orthographic terms, please get it right, the kana are a syllabary.

>>2639906
Because you touch yourself at night.

>>2639847
I lol'd, good job.

>>2639921
>fixes the "too many homonyms" issue
Kanji sometimes exacerbates the problem with heteronyms, though. For example:

こんにちは = 今日は = Hello
きょうは = 今日は = Today

You can tell them apart when they are spoken or written in kana, but with kanji you have to rely on context.

>>2639930
Writing system.

>>2639932
It's hardly a pure syllabary, thanks to ぁぃぅぇぉゃょゅっ etc.

>>2639930

[citation needed]

>>2639951

Those looks like syllables to me.

>>2639968

>look

Excuse me.
