How to improve my kanji skills?

For the more kanji and vocabulary you learn, the more urgent it is to practice using them, and the less urgent it is to learn new ones. In this way the content of the GRS adapts automatically to your needs as a learner. Remember, your goal should not be to “finish” the kanji, but to attain genuine literacy.

How many kanji should I study per day?

How to learn kanji?

With the KLC method, you will learn kanji in the context of extensive reading. Be prepared to spend at least half your time on reading exercises. Set your goal as learning to read, not “finishing” the kanji. Start your day’s routine by using the KKLC, the GRS, and the Green Book to review recently learned material.

What is the purpose of GRS?

The GRS will allow you to internalize kanji and important kanji-based vocabulary with little need of flash cards. Do not bother to make “sentence cards” out of GRS exercises, which fulfill the same purpose. The rest of this post explains the recommended study process in detail.

Why do we use KLC sequence?

The KLC sequence deliberately groups related kanji together, so that you can attach significance to their contrastive features as you learn them. This saves you from learning kanji in a way that fails once you encounter confusingly similar kanji at a more advanced stage of study. This problem of differentiating similar kanji plagues those who learn kanji in a less comprehensively planned sequence.

Should I make a flash card for KLC?

When NOT to make any flash cards: Provided that after one review pass you can remember a kanji’s general meaning and 1-2 of its vocabulary words, you should almost never bother to make a flash card for KLC material. This is because most of the important kanji and vocabulary will come up repeatedly later.

Can you memorize kanji?

Except for such regular on-yomi groups, do not trouble yourself to memorize the readings of individual kanji. Instead, memorize the readings of words. Note that by learning a kanji’s kun-yomi words, you will memorize its kun-yomi (readings) automatically.

Motivation

After I finished the class, I didn’t really use Japanese for about a year, until I rented an apartment in Tokyo and lived there for two months. Daily life was jarring, to say the least! I could get around, but not anywhere near as easily as I thought I should or would be able to. It was my vocabulary.

Choosing the System

I agonized over how to approach this for a week or two, reading reviews of and considering about a dozen different systems and courses, until I found the Andrew Scott Conning’s Kodansha Kanji Learner’s Course. Why did I like this book so much? Well, there are a few reasons:

How I Study

Hopefully by now I’ve convinced you of the merits of this book, or at the very least laid bare my thought process. If you’re as convinced as I am, let’s get down to brass tacks and talk about a study plan.

Wrapping Up

This whole post comes with a caveat, of course; This is a system I’ve found that works for me, but it may not necessarily work for you! I set aside a little more than an hour almost every single day to do this, and on the days I can’t find the time to learn new kanji, I still cram in as much review (both Anki and Memrise) as possible.
