Learning Kanji
I'd like to become fluent in not only speaking Japanese, but reading and writing as well. I know I can't do this without learning hundreds of kanji characters. What is the best resource/strategy to learning these characters and where can I access it?

Answer

Hi Alyssa,

I recommend this site called WaniKani (https://www.wanikani.com) to learn kanji. I have been using it for the past 18 months, and I can read about 1300 kanji and 4000 words. I also recommend the book Remembering the Kanji. RTK volume 1 only teaches the meaning and writing of kanji but it has allowed me to learn kanji incredibly fast. Of course you should try different methods and see what works best for you.

頑張って
