well, i won't try to master it in one yr coz i think i can't since i study other five langs.... but i am askin ya to give me ur opinion since there is a guy who insists he can do that so i wanted to make sure whether his speech was logical or not~~ my problem in kanji is not the way to write them but, it is to memorize the huge number of readings~~ isn't there a relationship between their readings? 4 instance, 源, this kanji can be read as gen in the word 起源and this one 原 can also be read s gen sometimes~~ so isn't there a relationship between their readings??
