Joyo Poster?

[E-Arkham]

You know what I think might be a nice reference? A wall poster with all 1945 Joyo kanji, their main meaning in English, and both くんよみ and おんよみ. Perhaps the most common meaning and most common readings only, since even at wall size space might be tight. Or even limit it to the 1000 most common kanji.

Something like this on my office wall would be extremely handy. I tried google, eBay, etc. Anyone know if anyone makes these? Closest I can find are Japanese school kanji, arranged by grade per kanji and selling for a whopping $12 a piece (ouch)... Nevermind the fact that I don't have enough wall space for that many posters.

How the heck would you fit all that on a poster?!? Why not just buy the grade level posters (skip grade one) & just replace them as you learn them? Besides, it wouldn't be a great learning tool.... rather overwhelming I would think. And how would you find a particular kanji?

I don't mean to be overly critical, but there is probably a reason that no one makes one :giggle:

Flooding myself with information is one of the best ways that I learn. I didn't even consider that it probably doesn't work for others. <g>

The idea is that as I walk into or out of the room, I glance at the poster, pick a handful and "replay" them in my head over and over as I refresh my tea, eat, read the newspaper, fiddle with projects in the workshop, etc, etc.

All of them could easily fit on a poster... the size constraint is mostly based on balancing how large each is/how easy to read at a distance.

Ah well. I'll probably just make my own anyway (maybe not poster sized, but many regular sheets, heh). That might be for the best since I'd have to review all of them as I print them out.

That'd be a big poster...

Here's a touyou kanji jitai hyou (http://www.aozora.gr.jp/kanji_table/touyoukanji_jitaihyou/) and touyou kanji hyou (http://www.aozora.gr.jp/kanji_table/touyoukanji_hyou/). It also has the 常用, 教育, 人名, and comparison chart. I believe you can also download the big charts, too. :-)

Hope this one helps:

This is random, but 常用漢字表 is fun to say. :)

I think those links will be quite helpful. ありがとうございます！

I agree, if you don't have something grabbing your attention (like on your wall), it's easy to forget to study for days or weeks.

I have a chart on my wall which graphs my results for kanji tests.
This motivates me to test myself on new kanji, better my average score and most importantly just to continue the line on the graph.
