Okay, but seriously, how do you learn Kanji if the characters aren't pronounced consistently?

THIS IS THE BEST LESSON YET!! And yes, I 1000% agree to teach David Attenborough Japanese so he can rename them all in Kanji

My favorite is when, by coincidence, the Kanji have the same meaning as the English word like 海馬 or 百足 😂

So katakana is the literal definition of the thing being spoken about and kanji is the descriptive old school version or? I’m confused.

I kinda feel Japanese has its own words in sound for object but used kanji, character borrowed from Chinese… I can always identify, in this case, animal or items but I just can’t pronounced them…
