I started japanese 3 weeks ago now, learnt hiragana and katakana, and in the past 10 days started learning kanji. In three weeks if I can learn my first 30-40 kanji and vocab (Including different readings), then y'all can learnt much more :)
Using mnemonics help, as stupid or annoying or cringe as they may sound, the kanji for 'big' looks like a really big person with extremely 'large' limbs, and the colourful shirt he is wearing required a large amount of 'Tie' and 'Die' (the readings)
The better you imagine it, the more likely you are to remember it. Also If anyone has a tip to share to a beginner like me, please do, I'd appreciate it.
