Huh, really? So even if the Japonic languages were Altaic, they still wouldn't be related.

Yep. They must be even more dissimilar than I thought.

Late to the party but ALLOW ME TO BE SELF-INDULGENT FOR A MOMENT.

The kanji I... remember  *

, in no particular order:

一二三四五六七八九十百千万年
月日木水火仝金曜日銀時半中国本外人
先生学大小川山町田名前多昔々外音楽
忍者光赤青黒白色糸絶望無駄料理方行
食飲買見話語言読書服世夜尊文字母父
妹弟兄手上下間門聞剣刀鬼界病院会社
...those are all the ones I can remember off the top of my head. Not too spectacular, since I'm a third-year student...

Aren't you supposed to have about 400 characters by third year?

@Tsukubus: Yeah, I'm really really bad at remembering my kanji. *functionally illiterate without a computer*

Oh, I forgot a couple of the simple ones like 思 and 心, but whatever.

I could only ever remember 北 and 南...

...and 東京 sometimes.

... ブラッキーちゃん, is the book your class uses by any chance called "Minna no Nihongo"?

Nope, it's Genki.

Hey, I can write 元気, I forgot.

I'm sure you'll know 空気 as well, not to mention 雨.

Huh, okay. Because that list of kanji looked remarkably like the list I must know for the upcoming exam, even in the approximate order of appearance in the book.

My class doesn't use textbooks. We use a website designed by our teacher, who has written several textbooks but apparently doesn't actually like using them.

I don't think I do know 空気, since the reading and the meaning totally slipped my mind, even though I recognized the kanji. [lol]

And yeah, 雨、電気、雪、天気...

Ah, it's pronounced "Kuuki", and means "air".

INUH: You're probably going to see 「気」 quite a bit in kanji.

I remember that Kanji in that it's used in the word for Weather, Tenshi.

EDIT: Durp, it was Tenki.

It's not a complete list. [lol] Mostly just what I could remember offhandedly.

Tenki, Zersk. Tenshi is angel.

I know very few of the higher-level Kanji and almost none of the non-general use kanji except my name, which is filled with obscure-ass kanji. Obscure as in you have to look it up in the Kō Kan-Wa Dictionary.

I was just poking fun. I won't be able to list all the kanji I know at all, or even most of them.
