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...:/

heyy franky:/ its me again, i came here to get an advice (hoping to) because i actually look up to you, and you're a cool guy.

soo, its about japanese. i realized that lately i am way behind of things, like i have good points but it doesnt make me happy enough while studying. I was always good at listening and understanding better at studying something while listening but when it comes to reading and memorizing I feel like I need a method to solve this thing, like i feel like i walking and walking then i keep getting stuck in a mud and same thing again. i dont know if i can express myself lol.

anyway what i wanted to say is, how can i be better at this? because i am really passionate about it. i spend my hours on it, but right now i feel like i need an advice but i dont have anyone to talk this because no one around me is interested in japanese or busy. i'd be glad if you'd talk with me

I'd give you one again but I can't find the bomb I made anymore

Franky! happy Bad Birthday! ^^

happy birthday
