Learning Kanji is never easy, the shape, the stroke order the meaning, the on, the kun, the two combinations, the three combinations, the four combinations and use in a sentence, who uses the kanji, men or women. Is it a technical word, a noun or a place name. Can I look it up in the dictionary and best of all can I remember it even though you have seen it 100 times, written it 100 times and spoken 100 times?
Hear what I'm saying?
Well Heisig has always had a knack for simplifying Japanese kanji and has added to the conversation again by teaching us mere mortals how to learn the new 196 joyo kanji released in June this year.
