First Thing First



Japanese writing system consists of three types of scripts, hiragana, katakana and kanji. In this blog we will learn about kanji, chinese scripts that adopted by japanese for their writing system centuries ago.
In Japan, kanji usually has two readings, onyomi and kunyomi. Onyomi is usually used to read kanji in a compound word, while kunyomi is usually used to read the kanji by itself. We will learn both types of the reading for every kanji we learn in this blog.
