One of my favorite kanjis is the one for medicine: 薬, since it is made up of “fun” and “grass” !! I think the ancient chinese used alot of funny gras

Where can I see the Kanji Achive? Or am I just being dumb?
Mind you…knowing my knowledge, I am likely to be completely wrong.
Anyway I love Kanji. I am not sure if I have a favourite. But Kanji, to me, is more than just a writing system, it is an art form. I love the Calligraphy and have tried to do it myself. Mmmmm! I guess…thinking about it….if I was to choose a kanji as a favourite it would be: 春 I am not sure…but to me it looks like three kanji…mixed. one is 人 the other is 三 and the last one is 日 So it does say to me that is three men looking at or towards the sun….so maybe it represents people looking forward to the summer season. Which is just how I feel at the moment

Jonas-san.
Seeing as I am a little thick….It is telling me I am already subscriped. Maybe I am looking for the wrong thing…When I read ‘Kanji Corner Achive’ I was thinking there was a page with all the Kanji that as been used in the past. But I see nothing like that. and I have just checked my e-mail and there was a link, but it brought me straight back to this page…So is this it then? HELP!!!

Here is a site that appears to be good, but I would appreciate those of you who have more knowledge of Japanese to evaluate it. Is this site worth bookmarking?

Nate-san.
It does seem like a site worth bookmarking. I have noticed it uses Japanese for Busy People. This seems to be a common book for teaching Japanese.

hi! I just wanted to say a really big THANKYOU for your daily japanese podcasts… I have just started learning Japanese and I am finding the podcasts so helpful… they help me a lot with my pronounciation and with memorising phrases and vocab, but more importantly they keep me motivated by giving me a bit of variety in my Japanese study!
I think it’s a fantastic resource and I really appreciate all the time you must put in to make the podcasts. I only discovered you recently and I am trying to catch up by listening to about 4 a day… arigato gozaimasu!!!

A question for those with more knowledge. Is it better to learn hiragana, katakana, or kanji first? I guess what I am asking is which one is more practical?
March 17th, 2006 at 10:09 am
hiragana is easier than katakana (if you ask me).
They teach it in Japanese School first. practice it daily and you can memorize it in two weeks. Practice makes perfect.
You can start learning simple Kanji, but don’t concentrate on it until you can read the hiragana. It’s a little like learning the alphabet before you learn to spell… most kanji build on writing principles in hiragana/katakana too (stroke order) and the on-yumi and kun-yumi is in kana anyhow.
If you’re going to Japan soon, memorize KATAKANA first. It’s far better for survival, as all the japanized English is in Katakana.

Greetings to everyone!
I like your idea about kanji and it’s archive, but it would be a lot of times more usefull if only you could also give the writing order of the kanji. I don’t think it would be that hard to organize and put it to the website.
I only hope somebody reads this.
