LearnKanji

Hi, I've been learning japanese for a year now and learned quite a few kanji. Now I was wondering, if there's a platform where I can enter the kanji I know and then get recommended texts with only these kanji to practise them?

Let me know what types of Kanji non-Japanese like.
I need more data!

Hello everyone, I understand that you also need to study grammar, vocabulary, phonetics, different readings of both languages in order to read let alone understand anything. I also know that some kanji were invented in Japan or were changed/simplified in Japan and are thus only used in Japan.

What I'm curious about is, to what extent are the kanji in the jouyou list the same as those considered necessary to read Chinese? I've read that you need more characters to read Chinese, but I'd like to know how much of those I can already cover by learning the kanji in use in Japan.

Bonus question if you know both Japanese and Chinese writing/language: how confusing is it to jump between the languages? How confusing is it to study either language after already knowing the other.

Thanks!

The Big Five theory measures five aspects of personality. One of these is "neuroticism", which refers to the person's tendency to experience emotions like anxiety, stress, depression and anger. I'm looking for a kanji that symbolizes the absence of neuroticism or an emotionally balanced state.

I’ve considered two kanji that could represent this concept: 穏 (odayaki) and 安 (yasu). However, I'm not sure if either of them really conveys that message. My intention is to use them on necklaces or paint it in a shirt, or even in a small temporary tattoos.

I’ve seen the kanji 爱 (ai) used poetically in tattoos. Gaara character from Naruto has that kanji. I’ve also seen the kanjis 無常 (mujo) written in 草書 (sōsho) in a tattoo, and I find them quite artistic and profound. My goal is to find a kanji that conveys the human quality of tranquility; the idea of acting without anxiety or impulsiveness, and instead, living and taking decisions in a state of calm.

I would prefer a single kanji, although a conjugation would also be valid.

I'm trying to spell my name in kanji. But I have a really old book and it's kind of hard to understand. So I tried to break it down ai-za-ku 愛-座-久 is this right?

How can I write "Be kind to myself" in Japanese kanji? Would "自分に優しく"("Jibun ni Yasashiku") be correct? Or do I need to use something like "Jibun ni Yasashiku shite" for it to be correct? I have almost zero knowledge in kanji. I would like it as a friendly advice to myself sort of thing, but I don't know if the abbreviated form is grammatically correct. Even if it is just an orally correct thing to say, I would be ok with it.

I would like to have it tattooed, but wouldnt want it wrong.

Could you help me please?

What is the symbol for persistence/ Never give up?

any help will be much appreciated

Thank you very much for your help!

How do you write in Kanji word "creep"

Hi! I recently gotten into learning japanese, and immediately facepalmed on the stroke order. I've got the hang of it, but still get confused when there are like 7 or more strokes... which leads to the question: do you guys know any kanji that has all the fundamental points of the stroke order? I mean, from left to right, top to bottom, diagonals and so on. All of it. I figured if I learn at least one (hopefully more) kanji of this type, I can just put it into muscle memory right away without worry. Practice is the mother of knowledge. Thank you.

I've only just started learning Japanese, I thought I had the kanji for 1-20 memorized (from a library book), but I'm seeing multiple versions online for "8" and now I'm confused about what is right and when.

I tried searching on Google but it's not being helpful at the moment. So if anyone can point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it.

How can you say “follow your heart” in Japanese kanji ?? Please

Hi guys, I'm done with hiragana and katakana. My next move is kanji. How bad is kanji? Please give me motivation to pursue and give me some tips.

Anyway, I only know how to write katakana and hiragana. I'm still struggling to read whenever I see Japanese words.

水気 is read as both みずけ and すいき. they both mean the same thing, but i can't find any detailed explanations as to why there are two different readings, except for this brief comment on hinative which says that みずけ is said during speech, but すいき is not.

i've encountered kanji that have 2 different readings, but usually the 2 readings also have different meanings, like the ones described here ex. 声明 (seimei = declaration / shomyo = to recite a buddhist sutra). also these change based on context, not based on whether it's spoken vs. written.

on the same note, are there any other kanji that are pronounced differently in text vs speech, while the meaning remains the same? i swear i must have encountered some before, but i can't think of any...

long shot but if there are any native speakers or experts on here that can help, pls let me know!

I'm learning Japanese and struggling with knowing when to use Onyomi or Kunyomi readings for kanji characters. How can I determine the correct pronunciation when encountering kanji in different contexts, such as standalone or compound words? Any tips or resources for improving my understanding?

After learning this word, I will only order chicken by calling the waiter and never write it down. It's probably better not to eat chicken🤣🤣
