  • Btw I saw that above the kanjis in this vid there's written the pronunciation in hiragana, it's much easier to read the hiragana than the kanjis, so here follows the stupid question: why don't they use the hiragana instead of kanji?

    I already imagine the people out there screaming at me: "Because it's their culture!" But why would they spend all that time learning thousands of kanjis when they could easily learn only the 104 hiragana symbols? Isn't that a huge waste of time?

  • You will discover that once you reach a certain level of proficiency with Japanese reading kanji is actually much easier then reading hiragana. If you tired to read a newspaper article or book in only hiragana it would drive you mad. You would end up reading quite slowly and would have trouble identifying words.

  • nice video...but..having romanji would be more helpful...

  • keep in mind that romanji is NOT Japanese. The worst thing you can do is to become Romanji dependent.  It is a complete waste of time.

  • How do you say, "are you japanese?"

    Thanks! :)

  • @Just2Lazzzzy iv ha the sme dream since i was 8

  • Great lessons. I am going to Japan in October and these help very much. Thank you for uploading these lessons.

  • Great vid. We need more like this, more sentence-based daily conversations

  • kanji is way easier than alot of stuff...there may be 2042 characters...but most(like90% or more)are words

  • Great videos..I wanna cry ^_^ I wish I had found this so much earlier ...

  • But also remember that it's "Romaji" (ローマ字), not "Romanji," as Japanese words do not have possessive forms.

  • indeed, but having it initially is a good start to learning conversational japanese....of course i dont plan to become completely dependent on romanji...im actually practicing to learn hiragana in my free time....thanks =)
