Omg it looks so difficult but so beautiful at the same time. I was studying Japanese for a while but I didn't learn kanji, hiragana or katakana.

theres not really a perfect way. it is said the most learn by drawing kanji with similar drawings, others said its best to learn the radicals [ part of kanji, mostly ones with alot of stroke ] or just memorizing one by one. im learning by memorizing one by one. its easier for me. once i get the daily amount ill start doing through other forms .

By writing it over and over.    
Radicals are helpful too. For example, 泣 is 氵water (sanzui) to the left and 立 standing (tatsube) to the right.  
They are important both for memorising kanji and describing them verbally

Writing it over and over again isnt the problem. Its the meanings 😭😭

mcducky · Answer

@Candiichan: 
Well, you learn the words the kanji is used it

Candiichan · Answer

@mcducky: but there is soooo many meanings for 1 kanji

mcducky · Answer

@Candiichan: 
You're thinking about it the wrong way. You shouldn't try to learn a list of words and readings for each Kanji, just how to write it and a few words using it and the other way around: learn the kanji of new words you learn and you'll pick up a bunch without studying them on their own.    
If you know 人生(jinsei), 生きる(ikiru) and 生(nama) you know 3 readings of 生 and can probably get a good idea of what 生 is about.   
    
Knowing a list of meanings for 太 and 陽 will only help you so much figuring out what 太陽 means and how to read it, so you're going to have to look it up anyway.

ThatGuy55 · Answer

I heard creativity 
for example the fire kanji looks like a little fire and the mountain kanji looks like a mountain

JamieJamie · Answer

@ThatGuy55: Yes, some of them. some kanjies are made from the shape of its meaning. But that kind of kanjies are less than 10%, or 20% of whole kanjies.
Great portion of kanjies are made by 'combination of meaning' .
like 休, this is combination of human(人) and tree(木). 
A human is under the tree.
And this letter means the rest. because usually if a human is having time under the tree, it is resting.

@mcducky: this is truly a wonderful explanation.

I used the Heisig method and was learning fifty to eighty kanji per day

I use flash card.

AngelKG · Answer

You guys should really try Wanikani. I've learned 500 kanji so far  in half a year. It uses radicals, Mnemonics, and srs. Unlike heisig, you learn the meanings and readings, and it feels almost effortless.

AngelKG · Answer

@ExtremelyCruel:  Good job! I don't want want to make any assumptions about you, if Japanese kanji is that easy for you way too go! But for me and most of the people on Wanikani, it's the only way to learn kanji. I spend about 2 hours a day on it, and in the half a year I've learned all that kanji + 1,500 vocab. I've also spent a lot of time on grammar. So I mean if you concentrate all of your energy on kanji, I see how learning 720 kanji in 3 months is possible, but I'm mixing my time with vocab, kanji and grammar. Wanikani is like a flash card system. Only it uses srs, which has you review the items you get wrong more often than the items you get right. By doing that it forces your Brian to remember items right on the verge of when you would forget it. It kicks your memory into high gear, and helps you learn with the least amount of effort. It's still work, just not as hard as rote memorization.
