I’m a beginner at Japanese. I’ve memorized katakana and hiragana and a few words/grammar rules, but kanji just isn’t sticking for me! Anyone have any tips for an english speaker to memorize some kanji for my upcoming trip to Japan? Thanks! :3
Find the Kanji that will be useful for you and you can make them into a study list. For travelling, things like 入口 (iriguchi, entrance), 出口 (deguchi, exit) and numbers can be quite useful
Mnemonics are key to learning Kanji, this website has a few examples you can use when you click on a specific kanji. I also highly recommend using anki and a app called RingoTan to practice writing them (trust me it helps a lot with memorising). Other than that be patient! Kanji is hard and it takes a long time to build up enough knowledge:)
