Learn Japanese the Right Way: My New Kanji Course Is Now on Udemy!

📅 Published on: Nov 5, 2025

Hello everyone,
I’m Sally, a certified Japanese teacher and the creator of Learn Japanese with Sally.

I’m excited to announce that my brand-new Kanji course for beginners is now available on Udemy!
After a month and a half of filming, writing, and editing, the course — “The Foundation of Kanji: 101 Essential Characters” — is finally ready for you.

If you want to learn Japanese online and finally understand how Kanji really works, this course is for you.

 

Just in Time for Udemy’s Black Friday Sale

Udemy’s Black Friday is coming soon, and my Kanji course will be part of the sale!
I worked day and night to finish it before the deadline, and it’s now live.
It’s a perfect chance to start learning Kanji at a lower price.

 

What You’ll Learn: The 101 Essential Kanji for Beginners

This online Kanji course covers 101 of the most fundamental Japanese characters —
the building blocks of all Kanji you’ll learn later.

If you’re new to Kanji or have always found it difficult to remember,
this course will guide you step by step.

You’ll learn:

  • How each Kanji was created and why it looks the way it does
  • How to write beautifully with correct stroke order
  • How to understand meanings through images and logic
  • How to read and remember naturally without endless repetition

If you’ve ever thought “Kanji is too hard,” this course will change your mind.

 

Why Learning Kanji the Right Way Matters

In most Japanese schools or online lessons, grammar and conversation take priority.
Kanji often gets pushed aside as something students should “study on their own.”

But for many foreign learners, that’s exactly where frustration begins.
You can speak Japanese fairly well — but your vocabulary stops growing because you can’t read or recognize new words.

This course solves that problem by helping you understand the logic behind Kanji, not just memorize shapes.

 

Kanji Are Like Puzzle Pieces

Kanji are combinations of smaller parts, called radicals.
They fit together like pieces of a puzzle — left and right, top and bottom — each part carrying meaning.

In this course, we’ll break Kanji down into clear, memorable parts, so you can understand and recall them easily.

Once you learn the 101 foundational Kanji, you’ll start recognizing the same parts in hundreds of other characters — and reading Japanese will suddenly become much easier.

 

Course Highlights

  • 4 hours of structured video lessons
  • 101 Kanji characters explained through meaning, reading, and writing
  • Perfect for beginners and intermediate learners
  • Combines Japanese elementary school methods with adult learning logic
  • Practice-based approach — you learn by doing

Whether you’re learning Japanese for travel, work, or personal interest,
this course gives you the foundation you need to read, write, and think in Kanji.

 

Great for Children and Parents, Too!

This course isn’t just for adult learners — it also helps:

  • Children who recently moved to Japan
  • Families who don’t speak Japanese at home
  • Parents who want to understand school letters and forms

If you or your child struggle with Kanji, start from the true basics.
Learning gradually and correctly makes all the difference.

 

Why Kanji Is the Key to Mastering Japanese

Unlike English or Spanish, Japanese uses three writing systems — Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji.

Kanji is what gives Japanese its depth and richness.
But it can also be the biggest obstacle.

Even if pronunciation is easy, different Kanji mean different things.
Without a solid base, learners hit a wall at the intermediate level.

That’s why I created this course: to help you break that wall and build real confidence with Kanji.
