Frankincense
Your dear leader

you still alive and kickin' my friend? happy new year!

Hello. I knew this day is your birthday. Happy birthday and happy life days for you. I hope your days will be filled with meaningful things and matters. Wishing our days will be with tender and comfortable hopes even in this grey colored world. Thanks for your efforts here. Nice day. _mrd

Hello Frankincense. How are you? I'm fine, (though there are some troubles). You write you are now live in Japan. When did you move to Japan. And what impressions about that country. Formerly, I had thought you are a girl, but later I thought again and thought you might be a guy. (Are you a big guy? handsome guy?). As to me, my PC (Win7) was almost dead in last August, so I bought the new PC (Win 10) in September, but for some reasons, I did not set up and use it. Recently, at middle of this April, I set up it and now use the PC, and visiting internet sites again. (About the new PC, there are still many things to do to usefully use it. I should install various applis, including Win-Rar. I purchased this soft formerly. But it was 10 years ago. I think I should purchase Win-Rar again. Also there are many applis which I formerly used in the Win7 PC. Anyway, you seem to be pretty fine and enjoy posting in spam sections, you look like all time on this site. Good lack. Regards. _ mrd

Happy birthday!

testing testing.

Oh I get it now, it makes more sense and sounds more easy. I will try this method, thanks Franky!

Okay so, you're saying that I shouldn't try learning kanji's but words? hmm, I think that would make it easier for me. For example;

誰よりも愛しい君に , I should only study and understand the reading on this sentence and not the readings of the kunyomi's/onyomi's, right?

like;

誰 : who
愛: lovely, dear
君: you

But that way I won't be able to read the words, I'm confused. :/

I usually study like this;

1. Encounter new kanji
2. Look up the meaning on the dictionary
3. Learn how it's read

And thats all, I'm thinking of changing my study method maybe like adding number 4. using the kanji I learned on a sentence, maybe that way it'll stick into my brain better.

I will try to take notes, or maybe a diary I dont know what would be better. But the way I study is not really helping me so, I should change my method.

Thank you for giving tips, it's really helpful. ^^

My kanji level...I am just like a beginner at the moment, it's funny because I used to know it. But on the other side my vocabulary is large, like it's so weird I don't know what happened to my brain!

I am between N3-N2. I know the words on my head really well, I just can't remember their kanji's/readings.

I tried reading news, but I can only recognize basic kanji like;

一
二
三
人 - 一人
大 - 大人
夫
太
犬

What should I do? The book I mentioned is kind of helpful, it makes kanji easy to remember but then again it doesn't teaches their readings. I think I need a special teacher or something, maybe I should just wait for university.

Ahh you replied so fast thanks!

Really? for me listening feels really easy, thats interesting. Okay now I will try my best to explain as you ask;

I didn't have this problem recently, I just realized when I decided, I started to study japanese again and when I started studying again I realized I had problem reading kanji.

So I was making research for days how to memorize the kanji, I found some good books called 'memorizing the kanji' but I then realized that I forgot how to read the onyomi's and kunyomi's!!, this is going to be sudden but after me and my husband had a divorce I've been overworking before and I was also working a lot before that I and never had the chance to study japanese, so then after all ended, and I got the time for myself, I realized that I totally forgot all my knowledge of reading like how could this happen?

So yeah thats what happened to me, so right now im trying to find a way to re-remember?/re-relearn? I dont know, I am self thought, although I plan to go to university this summer for japanese.

But I don't know where to start like how should I read, I don't have any problem with grammar I just have problem while when I try to read I can't because I can't remember the kanji.

At the moment I use some online youtube videos that's all...:/
