Hi everyone!

I hope you are all having a great Monday out there. Weather here in NW is amazing this week. How is the weather where you live?

 

 

Since we started learning the basic Kanji’s in my last post, let’s keep on going for a bit, so you can be more familiar with Kanji’s. Starting today, I would like to slowly introduce you to more basic but day to day useful Kanji’s that you can use. Some of these are a bit hard to write, but for now, let’s focus on reading and understanding.
