Learning Kanji - Numbers

Image
Learning Kanji - Numbers At first, learning kanji felt pretty overwhelming —all those complex characters and meanings! But now that I’m preparing for the JLPT N5 , I’ve come to see it as a challenge worth taking on. I’ve already got a good grasp of hiragana and katakana, and now I’m slowly adding basic kanji to my study routine. There’s something incredibly rewarding about recognizing a character on a sign, a menu, or in anime—it makes me feel like I’m actually starting to understand real Japanese. Since the JLPT N5 covers essential and frequently used kanji , I’m tackling them little by little. And where better to begin than with numbers ? You see them everywhere—on prices, dates, times, and more. They’re also some of the first kanji learners encounter, and for good reason.

Let’s get started! äø€: 1 äŗŒ: 2 äø‰: 3 四: 4 äŗ”...
