自 is a grade 2 kanji meaning oneself, the same as the one in 自分・じぶん.

転 is a grade 3 kanji meaning revolve. I recommend calling 云 "cloud" since it's in 雲・くも cloud (grade 2).

◊sent でんしゃ :: (electric) train :: 電車

拾 is a grade 3 kanji. I visualize Hiro (the only character in Heroes show I remember) picking up seashells. It's component 合 (grade 2 kanji) is in 合う・あう to come together, to fit. (Watch out: 会う・あう above, to meet, is different.)

殻 in 貝殻・かいがら is a junior high school kanji.

So perhaps visualize Hiro picking things (seashells?) up with his fingers 扌 and putthing them in his mouth to put in his roofed beachhouse.

叩・たたく to clap is uncommon (not jouyou nor jinmeiyou) kanji.

降 is a 6th grade kanji. The pennants 阝, the marching legs 夂, the ヰ (year 年 without the human radical on top), a real Renaissance Fair vibe, with rain falling.

◊sent おおあめ :: heavy rain :: 大雨

  • ◊Ebisu1 reading 2019-03-25T10:34:35.222Z, 5.967e+0,5.232e+0,6.826e+2

  • ◊Ebisu1 reading 2019-03-25T10:12:41.533Z, 3.752e+0,2.587e+1,7.769e+2

I remember this because of Mana, the human child in Gegege no Kitaro. Or a more sinister image: mana from the sky as the will to study.

◊sent しろいいぬ :: white dog :: 白い犬

  • ◊Ebisu1 reading 2019-03-25T10:17:49.259Z, 4.908e+0,1.944e+1,7.286e+2

孫・まご is 4th grade kanji, and I've frequently heard it in anime (as a formal term?). It includes 子 and 糸・いと thread with a swoosh above—perhaps an image of a grandchild's knit yarn cap.

Used in Summer Wars.

SKIP じゅうがつとおか :: ten months, ten days, gestation time :: 十月十日

  • ◊Ebisu1 reading 2018-12-25T01:54:45.068Z, 2.405e+0,5.237e+0,7.406e+2

  • ◊Ebisu1 reading 2019-02-21T01:26:33.807Z, 9.468e-1,2.353e+1,1.392e+3

This can also be pronounced じゅっぴき, with the double-"p" sound. When you use the full じゅう, it retains the "p" ぴき (though it loses the double).

◊sent えんをかく :: make a circle :: 円を書く

I think 付ける・つける (4th grade kanji) is the kanji here.

A mnemonic might be: "What do you ken?" "Ken ten." "Ken tou."

ま seems to often suggest something circular:

  • 巻く・まく to wind up/coil
  • 巻きずし・まきずし
  • 曲がる・まがる to turn (right, left)
  • 回る・まわる to go around
  • 丸・まる circle

Kanji:

  • 糸 (thread) is:
    • 幺 the thread radical
    • 小 small
  • 巻 in 巻く is:
    • 䒑 horns
    • 大 big
    • 己 snake/self

◊sent おんなのひと :: adult woman :: 女の人

  • ◊Ebisu1 reading 2019-03-25T10:25:08.742Z, 2.968e+0,8.947e+0,7.286e+2

Note how this is tricky, we know lots of 生・せい words:

  • 先生・せんせい teacher
  • 人生・じんせい life
  • 学生・がくせい student

but in 女性 that せい kanji has the heart radical, 忄. 性 here means gender, whereas 生 means life.

I prefer to see the bottom piece of 音 (おと, sound), as a wagging mouth, 曰 (not to be confused with 日・ひ), to reinforce the audio meaning. The vase/stand kanji 立 (also taught in grade 1) is on top—have to incorporate that into your mem somehow.

Optional: そらのおと: Sound of the Sky (anime): 空の音

聞く・きく hear (grade 2) uses 耳・みみ ear (grade 1 kanji, below) inside the 門 gates (grade 2 kanji).

And finally, 波・なみ wave is a grade 3 kanji and is weird enough I don't want to learn it now.

It looks like a much more common way to say "close" or "shut" is 閉まる・しまる, but とじる is also acceptable according to the dictionary, so we'll stick with that, since that's what's in Happy Lilac's poster.

閉 is a grade 6 kanji. Under the 門 (gate) is a 才 (genius), or just an オ ("o" katakana). A stretch of a mem: anyone saying "tooooo" (like, 10つ・とおつ, since 十 ten is close to オ "o" katakana) too much will be shut behind the gate until they shut their mouth.

(image source. See also undoukai (sports day) category.)

入る can be read both as はいる and いる, both apparently meaning "get in" or "enter". And the いれ conjugation could be an imperative (command): "get in", so the game's name could be seen as "get the ball in!".

消 is grade 3 kanji. It's component, 肖 resemblance/similarity (whose top/bottom components are ⺌ small (i.e., 小) and 月 moon/meat), is a junior high kanji, so the mnemonic must involve extinguishing/erasing/powering down via water and a resemblance.

左・ひだり versus 右・みぎ: the first two strokes are opposite but here's how you remember them: the first stroke of each is parallel (mostly, in the case of 右) to the third stroke. So remember how in some Asian societies, only the right hand is used for eating (口・くち), while maybe leaving the left hand free to practice crafts 工 (or katakana エ).

足 is also grade 1 kanji.

七日・なのか is tricky! 七つ・ななつ but with か day-of-the-month indicator, it must be なのか. One way to justify this is to notice that if we said "な な か", it'd start sounding like "なんか", or "something", and that would be no good.

起きる・おきる to wake is a grade 3 kanji. (Recall Mei jumping on her father telling him to wake up in Totoro: 「起きる!」)

Tricky note:

A way to remember 旗・はた flag might be that we take our "hats" off when raising it. The kanji is grade 4 and is made up of 方・ほう direction, every 𠂉 (like from 毎), and 其 which is jinmeiyou, and the kanji in 其れ・それ (Kanji ABC calls this "game").

夕べ・ゆうべ means evening/last night (recall that 夜 means "night", we'll learn that in grade 2).

方・ほう・かた all mean direction, or repurposed as pragmatic markers.

届 (grade 6 kanji) is made up of 尸, the flag pole (though Kanji ABC calls it "behind" because it's involved with lots of butt kanji) and 由 (grade 3) meaning reason/significance/cause.

形・かたち shape (like, children's shapes, triangles, squares, rectangles, etc.) is made up of 开, which Kanji ABC calls "holding with two hands" and is not to be confused with the "well" 井 in 耕 (to cultivate) above. (形 is grade 2 kanji.)

文字・もじ character/letter (think, emoji): 文・も・ぶん has a tophat (like 校 in 学校) above the "x", while 字・じ has the whole house above the child.

  • 郵: mail, includes 垂 (one reading is しで, the zigzag streamers used in Shinto) which is similar to 乗る・のる.

  • 便: convenience (same kanji, and similar reading, as in 便利・べんり, convenient), includes 更 (get late)

  • 局: bureau

For reference, Kiki's Delivery Service's name is 魔女の宅急便.

◊sent みせ :: shop :: 店

  • ◊Ebisu1 reading 2019-03-25T10:28:17.604Z, 2.794e+0,5.889e+0,7.287e+2

Same pronunciation of the second kanji in 学校・がっこう, but without the 木 piece!

  • 校: school
  • 交: mingle/association

番 is the same kanji and pronunciation as 7番目: "seventh (of something)". But it can also mean "watch/guard/lookout"!

◊sent ぎんこう :: bank :: 銀行

  • ◊Ebisu1 reading 2019-04-04T13:22:05.338Z, 1.132e+1,9.567e+0,2.430e+2

Silver: like 銀閣寺・ぎんかくじ, the silver pavilion. And 行く・いく, to go.

Note these:

  • 銀: silver
  • 良い: good, with the drop at the top
  • 食べる: to eat, with the hat and drop on top

◊sent ほんや :: book store :: 本屋

  • ◊Ebisu1 reading 2019-03-25T10:21:41.042Z, 8.184e-1,6.528e+0,1.441e+3

至 is grade 6 kanji: 至る・いたる means to arrive/reach/attain, but put the 尸 flag radical above it and it becomes 屋・や, shop.

◊sent みずうみ :: lake :: 湖

  • ◊Ebisu1 reading 2019-03-25T10:22:07.299Z, 2.428e+0,6.507e+0,7.286e+2

Recall: 琵琶湖・びわ湖, Lake Biwa.

◊sent たいよう :: sun :: 太陽

  • ◊Ebisu1 reading 2019-03-25T10:22:10.866Z, 2.428e+0,6.504e+0,7.285e+2

太い・ふとい means fat/plump.

Don't confuse

  • 太陽, sun (陽: sunshine)
  • 風呂場, bath room (場: place)
  • 足湯, foot (hot water) bath (湯: hot water)

昜 isn't used in kanji but Kanji ABC calls it "heat".

◊sent くも :: cloud :: 雲

  • ◊Ebisu1 reading 2019-03-25T10:24:13.545Z, 3.973e+0,8.838e+0,7.287e+2

云う・いう can mean the same as 言う, to say, though Kanji ABC calls it "cloud" because of this kanji. 雨・あめ of course means rain.

In 自転車・じてんしゃ, the 転・てん piece means revolve and contains "car" and this kanji 云, so I often think of 云 as "revolve" also.

◊sent ちかてつ :: subway :: 地下鉄

  • ◊Ebisu1 reading 2019-03-25T10:26:57.820Z, 3.771e+0,5.411e+0,7.770e+2

All three kanji are from grades 1, 2, and 3!

  • 地・ち, ground/earth, same as 地球・ちきゅう the earth.
  • 下・か, below, same as 川下 etc.
  • 鉄・てつ, iron. Contains 金 gold/metal and 失 "to lose" which, in turn, contains a drop plus 夫 "husband".

Referring to spouse when talking to someone outside family: 夫 [otto] 'husband' & 妻 [tsuma] 'wife' are preferred today to 主人 [shujin] 'master', 旦那 [danna] 'patron' for husband & 家内 [kanai] 'inside the house', 嫁 [yome] 'bride', かみさん [kamisan] 'higher up' for wife. —@tomoakiyama

◊sent みち :: road :: 道

停 "stop" and 亭 "restaurant" are both pronounced てい. (料亭・りょうてい is fancy Japanese restaurant and is used in Eccentric Family anime 😁.)

丁 is grade 3 kanji and can mean "ward/street/town" and KanjiABC calls it a "block of houses", so perhaps "street block" isn't bad. Related: 高い tall.

◊sent ともだち :: friend :: 友達
