Start learning japan kanji 1 2 3

Before learning a kanji

A Japanese letter has a kanji, a hiragana letter and katakana.

The kanji came from China around 1,800 years ago and increased.

It is written old Japanese book only in a kanji like China.

However, a hiragana letter which expressed a sound came to be used among women in particular widely in (the early tenth century) in the Heian era.

And the katakana is used equally, too.

It is the same, and these express a kanji.




But there is a kanji to make the same pronunciation.



Therefore, only in a hiragana letter and katakana, I do not understand the meaning of the sentence well.


O. K. then, let's learn a kanji to express a simple number first.


It's One,Two,Tree.



One = draw a line from the left




Two = Similarly, pull two of them. tops are short.




three = Finally pull three of them. Bottom is long.





In Japan, do not draw straight the line of the letter.

This is because it attaches a sumi to the writing brush, and it wrote a letter in old days.
In fact, an exercise is necessary to write one line.

Please look well.












I only think that I understand that I do not draw straight a line.

Please understand this.

It is a very difficult thing that even a Japanese and a Chinese write a letter neatly.
