Kanji’s that are important to note are: Kyo-iku Kanji(\u6559\u80b2\u6f22\u5b57,\u304d\u3087\u3046\u3044\u304f\u304b\u3093\u3058) and Joyo Kanji(\u5e38\u7528\u6f22\u5b57\u3001\u3058\u3087\u3046\u3088\u3046\u304b\u3093\u3058). In Japan, children learn up to 1006 Kanji’s during the elementary school years. Amount of Kanji’s they learn depends on each grade. Each Kanji taught in specific grade is clearly defined by Japanese Ministry of Education. \u00a0For example, there are 80 Kanji’s that are taught in 1st grade, 160 Kanji’s in 2nd grade, and 200 Kanji’s in 3rd grade, and so on. \u00a0You can see the complete list of Kanji’s for each grade here <\/a>in Wikipedia.<\/p>\n As for Joyo Kanji, these are the Kanji’s that are used in publications, such as newspapers and magazines. There are total 2136 of them. Besides the 1006 of Kanji’s they learn in elementary school, there are additional 1130 Kanji’s that students learn at middle and high schools.<\/p>\n 2136 sounds a lot of Kanji to learn, but once you start learning Kanji, you will soon realize that you will be able to apply the basic rules to learn more complex Kanji’s and that it will help you read them within each sentence.<\/p>\n \n With that said, here are the first 12 Kanji’s that I would like to share today in this article.<\/p>\n

Let’s try reading the following numbers in Kanji.<\/p>\n \u5341 They are read as follows:<\/p>\n \u5341 (Ju,\u3058\u3085\u3046, 10) Below is a great video that teaches you the stroke order for each Kanji, 1 through 10. You can learn number 1 through 10 in Kanji in less than 3 minutes!<\/p>\n |
