I don’t know what it is about Japan and its language that I LOVE so much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whatever it is, I am\u2014and have been for a long time\u2014in complete fascination with it and for a while I studied a lot of Japanese, twice in the past (or what I call the “great periods of Japanese learning”<\/em> [GPJL for short]: once around 2002 and a second time around 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Like all Japanese language learners out there, I studied A LOT and for months and then I stopped\u2014and yes, I have done that twice! Knowing how I approach things, I go ALL IN, I spent WAY too much time<\/span> focusing on too many details, like how to write each and every kanji out there during my second wave of learning in 2017, and that ultimately wore me up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n See, I knew that knowing how to write each and every kanji I was learning was NOT the right thing to do (I should have listened to the advice I got from Niko from NativShark<\/a> a few years ago).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Like a Japan native I started following on Twitter recently asserted regarding learning kanji in Japan:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u6f22\u5b57\u306f\u65e5\u672c\u4eba\u3082\u5168\u3066\u5b8c\u74a7\u306b\u4f7f\u3048\u308b\u4eba\u306f\u3044\u307e\u305b\u3093\uff01\u5b89\u5fc3\u3057\u3066\u304f\u3060\u3055\u3044\uff01
Kanji is very difficult for Japanese.
Almost Japanese isn’t master Kanji.
