@MisterM2402 You’re right, it’s two days later and it’s already starting to make more sense :) WaniKani is a HUGE help, I seriously recommend it along-side TextFugu – Now time to kick grammars ass (I thought it would be the most difficult, how wrong was I :P)

OK, so this is my last post in here ;) I’ve done a lot of research, and have a couple of set rules that really helped my understand.
On’Yomi when it is with other Kanji (We also use this for numbers on their own)
Kun’Yumi when on it’s own, or with hiragana sticking out however… my confusion arose with counters and this really is a must read before starting your second Kanji Vocab deck http://www.tofugu.com/guides/japanese-counters-guide/
Good luck everyone! :)
But it seems that when it is a number, and it is the Kanji all on it’s own we use the On’Yomi instead of the Kun’Yumi?
So to clarify, for myself ;) 9/10 if the Kanji is stood alone we use the Kun’Yumi reading. If the Kanji is combined with different Kanji we use the On’Yomi (9/10) and if the Kanji has kana after it we use the Kunyumi reading… but throw all of this out the window when it comes to numbers, or counters? Sound about right?
:) I finally see why they say Kanji is difficult, and I haven’t even really started.
First here is the link: http://www.textfugu.com/kanji/%E5%88%80/
It states: “The reading is the kun’yomi reading, because it’s just a single kanji, sitting all alone”
However Koichi states here: http://www.tofugu.com/2010/03/23/the-types-of-kanji-in-japanese-onyomi-vs-kunyomi/
“In general, you’ll use on’yomi when a kanji is sitting there all on its own”
Really? I’m utterly confused ARGH :) Anyone have some insight?
Yes but he also put new Kanji e.g. 二人 ＆ 一人 which hadn’t been described, so it was a little confusing. It also took my a little while to realize the difference between Kanji & Kanji Vocabulary. :)
OK So I found out that other people are confused too in the forums :) It would be nice if Koichi explained that he was going to use the person counter, instead of leaving us all confused :P At least I’m not alone on this, I can move on now :)
Would you care to share what you missed, I’m also confused XD?
