How to start leaning kanji for Beginner Hi i'm currently studying Japanese. For now i know the basic of Japanese and how to write hiragana katakana as well. So i'm thinking it's time for me to start learning Kanji right? But i just don't know how and where to start. Hope someone could give me a guide of something to start leaning Kanji. And Kanji is basically a chinese character written right? how to we pronounce each word? do we pronounce it like how we do with in Mandarin or example Watashi is 私 right? Do we pronounce it as Sa ( in mandarin ) or watashi ( like in japanese)?..
