<p>There are two main ways to approach kanji. The simplest is to learn whole words without studying the individual kanji. The other is to study each kanji in isolation to learn its meaning and composition. Studying isolated kanji can grant you the ability to write by hand, and will most likely have a positive effect on your vocabulary retention. It’s up to you to decide whether or not you will benefit enough from learning kanji in isolation to merit the time and effort it takes.</p>

<p>The mnemonics method uses short stories or images to break down the kanji and make them easy to remember. Commonly used resources that encourage mnemonics are <a href="https://mega.co.nz#F!CMtGhCzD!2Yw8vL8jw3vei7QkGyno-w">Remembering the Kanji</a>, <a href="http://www.kanjidamage.com/">KanjiDamage</a> and the Kodansha Kanji Learner’s Course. Each has its own set of mnemonics and slightly distinct methods, so you should glance through each and pick whichever suits you — it's ultimately not that important. For more information and the necessary Anki decks, see the <a href="resource%20guide.html">resources page</a>.</p>

<p>Kanji can also be learnt simply by writing or reviewing them repetitively. You should first familiarize yourself with the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radical_%28Chinese_characters%29">radicals</a> that kanji are composed of, as explained in “<a href="Radical approach">Radical approach</a>” below. An <a href="resource guide.html#Kanji">Anki deck</a> with <a href="http://pastebin.com/KibfAzNw">production/recall-type cards</a> could be very conducive to this method since, rather than writing out characters at random, you would instead be frequently writing out the ones you're struggling to remember, while only occasionally writing out ones which you remember consistently. The general consensus is that the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanji#Readings">readings</a> for the characters <a href="https://a.pomf.cat/zmayqq.png">should be learned through vocabulary</a>, so you should just focus on associating each kanji with its meaning(s). If you're struggling with a particular kanji, don't be afraid to make up a mnemonic based on its radicals.</p>

<p>If you choose not to study kanji in isolation, you will still eventually learn to recognize their meanings and readings as you learn new words. Learning new words is something you need to do anyway, so many people skip individual kanji study altogether. Either approach will result in success so long as you persist, so the choice comes down to what method you personally find easier. If you don't want to study kanji, you can likely work through a vocab deck without doing so. But if you are slow to pick up on kanji while learning vocabulary or have poor retention, consider studying kanji individually. It's a trade-off between starting out with "more vocabulary now, smaller foundation" or "more foundation now, less vocabulary".</p>
