Obscene/innapropriate stories work like wonders - Bryan_Saxton - 2008-12-19

I've noticed that some of the shared stories on this site can be obscene and lewd. But whenever I use those stories, I never EVER forget the Kanji. And yet, for every lewd or crude story, there are 5 or more people reporting them.

What I want to know two things:

1. Have you guys had success with using lewd and obscene humor to remember Kanji?

2. I see 5 or more reports for stories that are especially good (check out the most popular story for 298; 10 reports). What's the big deal? If it helps us remember the kanji, isn't it ok?

Sweet. Thanks for pointing that out. Admin can delete this thread.

Using that kind of story can create ackward moments when you try to show another person the efectiveness of this method, and the kanji you want to explain has one of those perverted stories.
Also, for the rest of your "kanji career" (or life), whenever you encounter that kanji, you will remember the story you used to memorize it. That's why I also recommend against using things that will become obsolete in a five years lapse, like memes, awful singers, current politicians, etc.

Not all of our stories are going to be lewd I think, so you don't have to use those when you're showing examples. And if you read what Dr. Heisig has to say in his intro, you'll find out that the stories become secondary to the actual Kanji. I doubt I'm going to be remembering the story I made up for 日 3 years from now, for example, when I'm reading 朝日. As long as the Kanji are taken care of within a year, obsolete politicians and singers should be fine as well.

It is well-known that stories based on sexual themes are easier to remember. I do this as often as I can. Sometimes I scare myself with what I come up with, but it works. Needless to say, I won't be posting any of them on the Study pages.
This is a harmless use of our private mind. Go ahead and get as "out there" as you want.

You don't really need to dig up ancient threads just to say that.

Quote:Truth! stark, naked truth, is the word;

英雄色を好む【えいゆういろをこのむ】 (exp) Great men have great fondness for the sensual pleasures

色is a pictograph of a man inserting his phallus into a woman from behind → sex; lover; mistress → looks; appearance (← motive factors stimulating the sex drive) → color (← complexion ← appearance).

‘Хуй’ является самым важным объектом в жизни человека, начиная с самого раннего детства, а также в истории человеческих отношений, культуре, науке, искусстве и философии – и соответственно самым важным словом в языке, (даже если оно реально не произносится). Обоснованию этого тезиса в основном и будет посвящено настоящее исследование.

I'm not Everyone's spokesperson, so feel free to get offended by what I'm going to say.

It took me more or less one hour to remember all the kana characters. It wouldn't have been possible if I hadn't used my highly sexual imagination.
Here's how I remembered ア. I just looked at it, and saw this picture:

tAnAkA renA (one of my favourite Japanese actresses). Just a split of a second was enough to remember each character.
