Hey everyone. I’ve recently started studying kanji again after a long period of other priorities taking my time and was wondering if there are any effective methods beyond repeatedly reading, writing and memorizing them… which is how I’ve studied in the past.
One approach I’ve recently started using is taking a Japanese article or text from sites I’m interested in and running it through ChatGPT to get a translation, and then asking it to produce a list of the most commonly appearing and important kanji compounds or vocabulary related to the topic. I then review the individual kanji, their meanings, and then ask ChatGPT to produce lists of certain kanji and the common usages in other words.
I’ve only just started experimenting with this, and it’s not perfect since ChatGPT sometimes misses definitions or makes small mistakes, but overall, it helps me study kanji tied to topics I'm generally interested in, which makes them easier to retain.
Are there any other methods you’ve found helpful for studying kanji or vocabulary?
