32 fish kanji... How many can you read? Restaurant Kanji 1

-
Image
Fish, fish, lots of fish... I found this cloth with fish kanji... So we have 32 characters here all with the same radical 魚 (fish.) Some of these characters even most Japanese won`t know as they are usually written in kana, such as octopus, but some you will see in restaurants and sushi shops... As a kanji 魚　is read さかな (sakana) （other readings include ギョ、うお　and ~ざかな) gyo, uo, zakana, and as a radical it is called うお　(uo) Then we have another part of the character on the other side so everything will be something fish. So from left to right and top to bottom: 鮗 winter fish このしろ (konoshiro)　konoshiro gizzard shad (type of sardine) 鯏　profit fish　 あさり   (asari) Manila Clam (also written 浅利） 鮹　resemblance fish たこ　(tako) octopus 鮃 flat fish ひらめ　(hirame) flounder 鱈 snow fish たら　(tara) cod 鰻 (no  stand alone kanji) sun, net again fish! うなぎ　(unagi) eel 鰈  (no  stand alone kanji) World tree fish かれい　(karei) righteye flounder 鮟鱇 (my PC and phone don`t...

Manga review Yotsubato! よつばと！ Beginners Manga 1

-

Manga is an excellent way to study Japanese and learn kanji and vocabulary, there are manga for almost any interest you may have, however many manga are very difficult in the beginning if they don`t have furigana (Hiragana reading above the kanji).  On this blog I hope to review some manga that I have read that are suitable for beginner to intermediate students.  Yotsubato! よつばと！ Yotsubato! is definitely my first recommendation for starting to read manga.  There isn`t a  lot of text on each page and most of it is hiragana but there are enough kanji in there to learn new characters and to stop it becoming confusing as to where one word ends and the next begins (I find hiragana only books or manga like Doraemon a nightmare to read).  Each book holds about 7-10 chapters and they usually read like separate stories so you won`t get bogged down if you don`t understand something. There are only 13 books in total, so it isn`t a huge series. ...
