In my experience in learning hiragana and katagana, I recommend learning it once and then reading something slowly and when you don't understand or remember a character, look it up in the table and this is basically how human brains learn the best, because it is like spaced repetition but natural and you get a little revision every time you forget a character. That way you maximise time working on characters you are not good at and practice active recall. It's the best way anyone can learn unless you have a substantially different brain to others.

Just found out this channel and i say it's a gold mine and deserve more subs/views. I'm planning to learn Japanese because i want to be able to read manga fluently but also being able to read japanese in general, like when i browse the Japanese Net, and of course i want to write and comunicate as well. Hope i'll be at least at a good point when i visit Japan after the pandemic.

The difference between learning English and Japanese is i can read and search the words i don't know so i can easily increase my vocabulary. With Japanese i do all of them (learn to read and increase my vocabulary) together. And i have this a new problem for me, i read kanji by memorising the meaning, not the sound how it should be read. So sometimes when i see raw manga, some of the conversations i can understand what they talking about without i remember how to read them. It happens in my English too. I can understand English conversations but if someone ask me to translate it to my national language, i barely able to do it. It's like when i use one language my access to the 2 other languages i know is closed. I start my English learning in 4th grade and Japanese in highschool. But I'm not fluent in English nor good in Japanese because in my country is still quite rare to find English or Japanese in daily life.

The best way to get good at new languages is to practice with native speakers or engage with native material (like manga), but do the best you can according to your circumstances. It sounds like you've made a lot of progress, though! It depends on your ultimate goals, but I think understanding kanji meanings without knowing the pronunciation is totally fine and natural! It's one of the cool things about kanji. Just keep up the practice (both reading and listening) and you'll slowly learn more and more kanji readings!

Good question! And good work learning hiragana/katakana. Your next step is to learn some basic Japanese grammar before you start trying to read anything. After that, when you are reading, get into the routine of looking up Japanese words in a Japanese-to-English dictionary like jisho.org to find out what they mean. Check out my other videos for more information!

I think you should start reading manga and watching Anime in Japanese only if you're advanced. Maybe you can even read easy kids mangas if you're intermediate, but everything else is just not yet worth it and there're far more useful and effective things to learn from. Just knowing basic Japanese stuff will never be enough to enjoy Mangas or Anime. If you don't believe me, try it yourself.

Speaking from my personal experience, I think if you want to learn to read Japanese manga, there is no better learning tool than manga itself. If you treat manga as something you can only allow yourself to try reading when you feel ready, you will never feel ready.

I left links in the description for Tofugu articles that teach kana. They suggest visual mnemonics for each kana character. I would recommend making/reviewing flashcards if you haven't already. If you're still having trouble with memorization, it might also benefit you to look into what "memory palaces" are and how to make them. Good luck!
