- As far as I know, kanji readings have to be remembered the hard way, though I haven't gotten to the second RTK book yet, which teaches the readings. Until then, I suggest sticking to JCJP's kanji tests, it should give you a good foundation for the on and kun readings for each kanji.May 28, 2012 at 11:13am
- here's a site I am using to learn them .By radicals.It's so much easier and fun
www.kanjidamage.com tho some jokes may be a bit too vulgar.May 28, 2012 at 4:35pm - Sono toori... Learning kanji by radicals is very helpful. Basically, radicals will allow you to recognize a kanji by its parts (or its form).
There's less than 200 of them if i'm not mistaken... Bid deal...
When it comes to reading though, there's no choice, you have to encrust every kanji's readings in your memory... But that easy to say, not to do so gambatte ne...May 28, 2012 at 9:47pm - Yeah,also there are so-called "strong" radicals and 99% of kanji constisting of them have the same On-reading.That's a little cheat you can apply when you have a hard time remembering the on.May 29, 2012 at 1:02am

May 29, 2012 at 6:04pm - Another tip: memorizing them by the general meaning (compare the words that use the kanji) will make it easier to read them, even when you don't know the reading.
It also makes a good foundation to start remembering readings... kanji is a thing that should be learnt piece by piece, because the same kanji can have multiple readings. As you encounter it used in new ways, you'll get used to them. I've just started being able to 'guess' the readings of kanji I know when I see them in new words.May 31, 2012 at 9:32am
