As one of the resolutions for 2016, you might be already working hard towards the goal of “learning Japanese(Nihongo Gakushu, \u65e5\u672c\u8a9e \u5b66\u7fd2\u3001\u306b\u307b\u3093\u3054 \u304c\u304f\u3057\u3085\u3046)”. I am here to hopefully assist you on the journey of perfecting your Japanese from different aspects, reading, writing, and speaking. For that purpose, I have set my own agenda for the next few months, to dedicate my article on Kanji’s. I realize I have not touched on it for a few months now, and that no matter what level of Japanese you might be studying currently, learning Kanji is an essential part of learning Japanese as we combine, Hiragana (\u5e73\u4eee\u540d\u3001\u3072\u3089\u304c\u306a), Katakana (\u7247\u4eee\u540d\u3001\u304b\u305f\u304b\u306a), and Kaji (\u6f22\u5b57\u3001\u304b\u3093\u3058) in the writing system.<\/p>\n
So, starting with the topic of learning Kanji’s, I would like to show you some of the trickiest Japanese Kanji’s below. The way we read these Kanji’s are a bit unusual where you almost have to just memorize the way it’s pronounced. If you are familiar with “On and Kun (\u97f3\u3068\u8a13\u3001\u304a\u3093\u3068\u304f\u3093)”, which is the basic method of reading Kanji’s, forget the rule for now. You will see what I mean below.<\/p>\n

Reading Kanji’s could be a bit tricky sometimes, but I would say that the above Kanji’s are typical ones that you probably just want to memorize the way they are pronounced. These Kanji’s are introduced in 3rd and 4th grade in Japanese text book. Each Kanji character itself is not hard to read, but when combined with another character (Jukigo, \u719f\u8a9e\u3001\u3058\u3085\u304f\u3054), it becomes a bit tricky to read them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
