Can We Make Learning Kanji Easier? Here's What Helped Me

Episode Description from the Publisher

Learning kanji can feel impossible, especially when a single character can have four, five, even six different readings.In this episode I chat about a few things that helped me over the years: thinking of kanji as words rather than letters, how radicals start to make sense once you know your first hundred or so, why each new kanji makes the next one easier, and the little memory trick I used to stop mixing up the Japanese word for corn.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ohazassu-podcast--5905520/support.
