こんいちは. Thanks for continually working on this guide. I don't know if I've ever replied to this and said 'thumbs up,' but now I am X D. Thumbs up!

I meant to ask you a week back or so... in the "what's your favorite kanji" thread, you'd left a post with a TON of kanji in color-coded bands. Were they organized by grade level?

Hey! Thanks for replying here and giving me thumbs up! smile I've been a bit busy and forgot to do the rest and fix up, but I'm reviewing myself so. razz

Those kanji I am sure were arranged like that. I'll check later but if there's aout 7 colours or 7 paragraphs, then they are. They are grades 1-6 and the last paragraph that is huge and has many are the kanji taught in middle school.

So I've been too busy to even bother updating this... I will eventually, but I attached a link that goes to my youtube videos of me teaching kanji. Check 'em out!

It's been such a long time since I've seen this thread or been on gaia. I hope my bumping this will help some people, at least.

I realize that I have neither been on gaia or been working on this thread much in the past few years. My life has become very busy since I began this thread -four years ago at the age of 15-, but as I slowly return to my studies of Japanese I will attempt to work on this as well.

I don't think there are too many people active in this guild, but in any case it will hopefully be helpful and provide some information for those having difficulties with Kanji and their readings.

Kanji isn't very difficult to learn, but it does require dedication and patience to be able to master them. Start with a few every day, and soon enough you will be able to do 30+ in a day and be well on your way to being proficient and literate in the Japanese language.

頑張って下さい
J'ai de la confiance que vous réussirez dans la langue japonaise!

when you learn kanji, do you have to memorize the special readings used only in names?

That depends. It's always good to have the knowledge to be able to read the kanji in all it's environments, but it isn't imperative that you learn them.

If you're just beginning with kanji, I would say focus on learning the more common readings. However, you'll also notice that the kunyomi is used more in name, with the onyomi being used less frequently.

It wouldn't hurt to know as many readings for your kanji; in fact, it would help you a lot more if you knew 一 is a name read はじめ (hajime).

I have now finished the grade 4 kanji and added 20 from grade 5.

Grade 4 is not completely colour-coded, and I am reorganizing grade 3 kanji.

I don't know if I have the time or energy to add the .gif images showing stroke order. I suggest looking at Saiga-jp's kanji dictionary for them.

Yes! 55 more kanji from grade 5!

60 more and grade 5 will be all done!
PostPosted: Tue Sep 21, 2010 6:59 pm


WOOT! biggrin heart All grade 5 kanji have been added! 825 Kanji are now available to learn!

After I add grade 6 kanji (181 kanji), there will be 1,006 kanji, which means you will be able to read 90% of newspapers and books.

This thread has been very helpful, but I do have one complaint. It seems that around 2nd grade 10 stroke, you completely stopped translating the meanings into English. I'll give you an example from grade 9 to show what I mean.



course of study

学科 がっか
科学 かがく
科目 かもく
教科 きょうか
理科 りか
外科 げか

Thanks to the kanna readings, I can read the first as Gakka, the second as Kagaku, and so on. The problem is that I don't know what these words mean. I've been using this as a way not only to learn Kanji, but to learn Japanese as a whole. I assume they refer to specific courses of study, like math, chemistry, and so on, but without knowing the language that well, I don't know which is which. If you could fix this, I'd be VERY appreciative. biggrin

Sorry for replying nearly 2 years later. I have updated grade 2 words, but I won't be doing anymore after this, sadly. It's too much work for me, as I am in university. I hope this helped you.
