Just before my college exams I was lucky enough to find a Japanese tutor here on my small island which delighted me for it’s brief two months. However, ever since the exams finished, I still haven’t had the chance to go back to classes, so it was with much happiness that I found out that one of the newest homebrew programs for the PSP helps you learn one of the most basic Japanese alphabets, Kanji.
So if you’ve ever felt curious about what (some) of the Japanese symbols mean, you should give this neat program a try.

I’ve read that the best way to learn Japanese is to learn katana and not kanji. Because when you know katana you know how words are spoken and can easily learn romaji to know what is written.
And katana has 46 characters, kanji has 2,000 characters that is approved out of 50,000.
It’s Katakana, not Katana.
Katana is Japanese word for ‘Japanese sword’.
Katakata is what they use to read and express
foreign language. Kanji is basically Chinese
characters. A lot of Kanji is exactly same as
non-simplified Chinese character.
Basic characters of Japanese would be
Hiragana and Katakana.
First thing you learn is Hiragana
and Katakana. To learn Japanese, you should
learn both Hiragana AND Katakana, learning
Katakana first, and only, won’t necessaraly
help you to pick up Japanese fater or easier
either.
Not learning Hiragana is not an option.
You must learn Hiragana and Katakana and
eventually Kanji as well.
Japanese characters are basically couple of
different variations of simplified Chinese
characters.
I must express extreme bewilderment at the phrase “[O]ne of the most basic Japanese alphabets, Kanji.”
And I wholly agree with Danny Rho.
Yeah, I’ve been a serious student of the Japanese language for going on 5 years now, and my one major set-back is STILL kanji. I know about 300 characters, but that’s just a drop in the ocean when you consider that to at least read a newspaper one must learn the “basic set” of approximately 2,000 characters. I consider kanji to be the most difficult part of learning Japanese. When I visited the country last year I discovered that practically NO places, signs or anything has furigana for any of the kanji. You either know it or you’re screwed, making it very difficult to learn yet absolutely essential.
So in other words, this PSP program is a good thing.
@ Danny
I meant to write kana to refer to both katakana and hiragana. I was dead tired yesterday after work. :D
No worries, Xen ix.
Just tryin to get the right info out there.
Cheers.

Yeah, place names are terrible because they basically follow no rules. Either you use know them or you don’t. Insane.
Me, I want that DS Japanese-education program. I want that bad, I do.
Jonathan,
What DS program are you talking about? This leads me to yet another subject, I have always wanted to learn japanese. What is the most proper way to do so?
repdetect2, you could get software 4 ur comp on the net, or u could buy an electronic translator.they get expensive though! they make software 4 pocket pc’s 2! check it out. (just helping!)
repdetect2, also- google search the words “learn japanese” and they will give you tons of web sites that will teach u, or translate 4 u.
the best way to learn japanese is to incorporate speaking and hearing it. you can do all the book learning or computer learning, but you won’t be able to use it unless you make it feel natural; otherwise you’ll be learning rote language.
Has anyone tried this homebrew and is it any good ?
I’m glad I found your site! It’s nice!
