Kanji Challenge – Part 3 Posted by keiko on May 27, 2015 in Grammar
This month’s theme was about Kanji’s. This is my 3rd Kanji Challenge for this month. In this article today, let me introduce you to some simple Kanji’s that are familiar to you. These are all one character Kanji’s to memorize, so it will not be too bad. If you already know the vocabulary, it will be much easier for you. If you didn’t know the vocabulary, you can also learn the vocabulary along with Hiragana and Kanji’s.
