Episode Synopsis
One of the biggest obstacles for Japanese language learners is trying to learn and master the written alphabets, specifically kanji. So many common questions come with learning kanji… What’s the right reading? Am I using the correct character? What does this kanji even mean? Well, in today’s episode, the Krewe sits down with Dr. James Heisig, author of the Remembering the Kanji book series, to discuss the series' origin story, how this method works, understanding the anatomy of kanji characters, and so much more.
