DD1: Kanji Review and Practice

Kanji Review and Practice

You will have many Kanji to learn before you can read newspapers in Japanese. We will take one or two Kanji at a time and learn the following aspects.

• How does it look? Can I associate an image?
• What is the main Japanese reading or Chinese reading?
• What is the basic meaning of the Kanji?

As you can see in Kanji Chart below, there are many ways to read both of 日 and 月. But for now, we will focus on how to recognize they are written for the dates.
