Hello everyone,
I have studied Japanese for quite some time now. My speaking ability and listening comprehension are quite a high level. However, my knowledge of kanji is at times embarrassing. I am wondering if anyone would have any advice for someone in my position to go about improving my kanji and reading ability? Somethings are really hit or miss. I can read some newspaper articles fine, while others I struggle with. I would just basically like to improve my reading. Any suggestions? 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Aren't there these mangas with hiragana above the kanji for children? And software that
does this automatically for digital texts? 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Please note that I have not studied Japanese. However, Yale University Press publishes two series of highly-regarded works on reading/writing the language.

Memrise have various (free) Japanese courses and many of them include both a kanji section and a kana
section. Kanji Koohi is an SRS-version of Heisig's RTK, but without his stories. Instead you get the collective wisdom (?) of the internet offering theirs instead. There are various graded readers available on Amazon. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

When it comes to Japanes, you might have better luck with the RTK forum and for specific questions (i.e. grammar points), Reddit and Japanese Stack Exchange as well as WordReference. I'm sure you're already familiar with them. This forum has never had a helpful and insightful native Japanese speaker, as far as I know, and most of the great members who's studied the language to advanced levels (past JLPT N1, B2 equivalent) and contributed to the forum often have moved on, unfortunately.

I'm muddling along with Japanese also. I'm still often baffled by complex sentences in Japanese and have a lot of trouble hearing -- except with Kanji, I just write them. My class, has been doing about 10 a week, and I've doing this non-stop for over 6 years. The names are still crazy though.
