Hey. If you don't like how the 楷書 in きれいなボールペン字 is too slow, you can use 行書 models. Most people can read it and it isn't as slow as 楷書. 王羲之's 行書 is considered one of the best, and if your 五體字類 book has his examples, I recommend that you copy them.
Thanks for the info, will check out that book or order through my local bookstore. I like the comment about where to put force when using the ball-point pen. USE THE FORCE
Hi there, would it be possible to send to me in romanjin the bibliography of that book where we see a character drawn in different parts of history? I think I would love to get my hands on that book. I live in Canada, but maybe one of my friends in Japan can get it from me. All I need is the title, the name of the author and the publishing house. Arigatou!
I *can* do that. However, if you don't plan on learning the Japanese writing system, then this book might be a waste of money. Everything, including the index and page numbers, are in kana or kanji.
Arigatou gozaimasu. I do plan on learning how to properly write the kanji. Right now, I am only starting out with the hiragana and katakana, but I also want to learn how to write Kanji as well in the near future. So thank you very much for sharing this information with me.
i can read about 600 kanji and only write about 300, but holy hell, my stroke order is laughable at best. still it totally helps you memorize kanji faster and i would recommend it to anyone learning.
I try to convince people all the time that learning stroke order and radicals are fundamentally important is sometimes difficult. Also, trying to get people to understand that they are "writing" the kanji, not "drawing" them is also not so easy.
haha i remember the days when i use to just approach them like i was drawing a picture. seriously though if you continue to do it you realize it will take you an hour to write one sentence. stroke order is vital to smooth kanji that have no errors in stroke number or display. also yes! bushu are ultra vital. how would you ever memorize kanji without them?!
Well, it's only boring in so much as I've already taken other classes which cover in detail what's being covered superficially at the beginning of this class. I expect it to become more difficult as time goes on.
I often draw on my notebooks in class. For some reason it helps me focus. I've got notbooks where I've written random characters all over.
wow, your doodles are far more sophisticated than anything I ever produced. I love kanji. The more you know, the smarter people think you are and, consequently, the smarter I think I am. (Maybe, that's not a good thing.) Still, it's enjoyable.
Yeah, I suppose that it makes sense. If you know more kanji it means that you've studied harder. I remember one TV show where they went to some private junior high school and gave the kids a kanji test. Everyone was amazed (granted it's not hard to amaze the Japanese, "Suge!") I remember one of the kanji was lemon. So to this day I've always wanted to (but never gotten around to) studying specific kanji groups like fruits, animals, insects and the like.
Yes, I sure do. It's odd. Physics isn't a pre-req for any other classes I have to take. I was able to take Thermo and Quantum Mechanics (Physical Chemistry) without it. That accounts for part of the reason that I'm finding the beginning of Physics a bit on the boring side.
Wow, that is odd! I had to take Phsyics I & II and Thermo I & II amongst others, but my degree is engineering. Well, you'll be a well-rounded chemist!
God, I need that... just don't have time for so much "penmanship" practice.
I mean, just learning: 食 飲 帰 was a killer to learn to write even legible. Thank god writing Japanese these days is done more often in text form! And I have to add that being able to read the kanji I've learned is much easier than remembering how to write them.
Well, you're going to be in Japan soon. Pick up a copy of the book and give it a try. It was only ¥780.
I don't have much time for getting out the brushes and stuff to really practice. I used to go to the classroom twice a week for two hours. I don't have the luxury anymore. Now, I practice with pencil or ball pen for about 10 mins a day. It's enough, I think, to keep me where I am, but not really move me ahead any great amount. I have, I think, become a ワプロ馬鹿.
I love practicing my kanji handwriting. Not too long ago, my handwriting improved a lot because I would practice like how we practiced spelling words in elementary - just writing over and over and over again. I think it helps a lot :)
Dude you look japanese. Why you speak in accent of amerika?

I'm going to check Yesasia and Jlist. Or maybe Japanese Amazon. I hope I find it!

Too bad you can't make a video response to a text comment, because I would make one for your comment.
I've noticed that too. More kanji == more smarter *thumbs up*

Studying physics??? Where? What degree?
DeeDoubleYou81 2 years ago
I'm taking regular calculus based physics as a requirement for my Chemistry degree. Where? At a university.
ChemistInJapan 2 years ago
Well, I'm a huge fan of physics. Do you have to take physics II for chemistry?

Yes, I sure do. It's odd. Physics isn't a pre-req for any other classes I have to take. I was able to take Thermo and Quantum Mechanics (Physical Chemistry) without it. That accounts for part of the reason that I'm finding the beginning of Physics a bit on the boring side.
