Sarah Moon Japanese | Introduction to Kanji (Japanese for Beginners, Extra #3) @SarahMoonJapanese | Uploaded April 2021 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Before you start to learn kanji, watch this video to learn how kanji work in the Japanese language. I explain on-yomi, kun-yomi, why kanji are used, and how they're used.
I also have videos for learning hiragana and katakana at the beginning of this playlist.

Please don't learn 100% of your Japanese from me! I'm a highly-experienced J-E translator and teacher of dance and theater, but a beginning level teacher when it comes to Japanese. It's also best to learn from a variety of sources (preferably native Japanese) and to hear the concepts explained by multiple people (again, preferably native Japanese). Here are some other great resources:
