Memorise Chinese / Japanese Kanji (漢字) by embedding 1000's of years of ancient script evolution in your own muscle memory. In this episode we look at the Japanese hiragana syllables sa さ shiし suす se せ soそ and the many Chinese 漢字 Kanji (Hànzi) characters from which both Hiragana and Hentaigana evolved. You will learn some key non-standard 'shapes' and 'muscle movements' for writing the semi-cursive and cursive forms of these characters which will give you an authentic 'edge' on your writing.

If you are learning a tonal language like Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese, Lao or Burmese, or a pitch accent language like Japanese - or even if you're a native speaker, you need to set 80mins aside and take my Free Tones and Pitch Accent Masterclass - by the end of it you will not only be able to hear the tones in ANY tonal language, but have new skills in being able to faithfully reproduce them and set up an internal self-correction system that kicks in subconsciously when you get something wrong:
