I wonder who on this forum is the best at learning Chinese characters.
You don't have to know all readings and stuff, just the basic knowledge. How many you can recognize. It can be anything, Japanese kanji or Chinese hanzi or even Vietnamese chu nom. me, I know around 4 000 or more. it's hard to tell. It's my strongest point in languages. The other skills are inferior. Edited by clumsy on 13 March 2011 at 8:12pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I've only started learning some Hanja about 2 weeks ago, so I only know 15 currently (大人母父兄一二三四五六七八九十). But it's a start :D I plan to start learning a few more, maybe 5 or so, today.

1000~1500... only Japanese kanji, though! I don't exactly keep count.

I've only recently began learning Japanese, so I only know around five hundred kanji at
the moment. I also know one unrelated hanzi, so about 501? I think I'll keep actively learning kanji until I know a little over 3000, and then my study of them will take a backseat so that I can focus more on other aspects of Japanese.

Normally I'd let it slide, but seeing how this is a language forum: doth is
third person singular, dost is the one that goes with thou. Also, just like in modern English, we don't conjugate the second verb after do. I do Thou dost She doth I know Thou knowest She knoweth but: I do know Thou dost know She doth know Oh and to answer your question: around 3500, very rough estimate. :) Edited by egill on 14 March 2011 at 1:28am 7 persons have voted this message useful | |

Does knowing 廣, 广 and 広 count as knowing one character or three?

I'd estimate that I know between 1000 and 1500 kanji in Japanese. I've completed all of RTK so I've "learned" all of the 2000+ that are taught there, but I then forgot a lot of them after completely ignoring my reviews for almost six months. I'm currently going back through to relearn them all.
