I’ve been learning attempting to learn Hanja (한자, 漢字) for about 2-3 weeks 🙂
But it’s really hard! So I decided to use some Anki flashcards to help me 😀 lazy way out! But no everyone uses flashcards don’t they?
So here is how I lay out my 한자 cards in Anki ^_^
Front Card:
I put out the character and the radical on the front card : since it’s the radicals I am trying to learn 🙂 makes sense to put them as the first and so far out of the Level 8 한자 I know 37 the rest…..confuse me! HAHA 🙂
Back Card :
For the back card what I did was take the most common words that the radical is used in ( I chose one at random) and then I put it in there using both 한글 and Hanzi characters ^_^ with the English translation!
And if I review them every single day i should learn those extra few that I can’t seem to remember 🙂 and maybe even get to level 5 Hanja 🙂
But I remember either hearing or reading that most Koreans don’t get a Level 1 understanding of Hanja! So I’m not going to aim for that just yet maybe in a year or two 🙂
I wonder how do you retain a hanja if it never appears in a sentence? 궁금해요.
Haha! By constantly looking at new words and they Hanja ~ and since I am slowly learning Chinese its a bit easier ^.^
