i finally went over and gave up the romanji completely, it really does make my lessons so much easier that i have to kick myself for not just sitting there and putting more time into learning the characters sooner, but now i find myself really thirsting for the kanji study that i was always putting off
i remember being recommended a website, i don’t think that they had an app at the time, but it actually went through and pointed out connections in the pictogram aspect of the kanji to build off of which made things a lot more interactive and memorable for me than some of the apps that i’ve been trying out recently that all seem pretty “memorize these flashcards” and i sit there feeling like dennis on that family feud ep of always sunny and it’s like, they’re stealing my thirst and i just want to feel good learning kanji again like i did that time, does anyone know what site i’m talking about? or any apps that actually try and teach you before just endlessly quizzing you?
ty in advance for sharing your knowledge, or if there is another community that you’d recommend that i crosspost, feel welcome in sharing, ty
Sounds like Wanikani. The first 3 levels are free but later 57 are not. I’d recommend getting the feel for them and then deciding if you are willing to pay for the 1-3+ year journey that’s ahead of you since they have the lifetime sale in December.
I’d also recommend learning at least the first 100 常用(じょうよう) kanji on Ringotan (free). You will probably forget how to write them but it will make you understand them better.
