Today I took a review test to see if I remembered the first 7 characters (kanji) that I am learning, also included were the additional compound words that I am learning to increase my vocabulary. So, how well did I do. I didn't score 100%. But I'm going to move on to another kanji today.


The lesson name is "Let's Eat".
なにがたべましょう　(nani ga tabemashou)


The new kanji today is:

八　　　eight

やっ。つ,　ハチ、　ハッ


八つ　　　　やっつ　　　　eight
八　　　　　はち　　　　　eight



八月　　　　はちがつ　　　August
八百　　　　はっぴゃく　　eight hundred
八日　　　　ようか　　　　the eight (date) (for) eight days


Well, now it's off to rememberville and take another review quiz

The Japanese lesson that I am learning is "Let Eat"
なにがたべましょう　（nani ga tabemashou)


Today's new kanji that I am learning is:

十　　　　ten

とお、　　ジュウ、　 (ジッ　/　ジュッ）

十　　　　とお　　　　　ten
十　　　　じゅう　　　　ten
十一　　　じゅういち　　eleven
三十　　　さんじゅう　　thirty


十日　　　とおか　　　　the tenth (date) (for) ten days
十一円　　じゅういちえん　eleven yen
十分　　　じゅっぷん　 ten minutes
二十日　　はつか　　　　the twentieth (date) (for) twenty days


for 分　(ふん　and ぷん　are used), but for now that is all I know about it.


Well, need to study on this one. If you are following all the 10 kanji that I have been learning, you'll see that with the additional kanji posted, one can add upon it and increase their kanji vocabulary. At least that is what I'm trying to do

To type a small つ (that is, to type っ) by itself, type "xtu" or "xtsu" .

The same goes for any other small kana; for example, xya, xyu, and xyo give ゃ , ゅ , ょ , xa gives ぁ , etc.

So to type じゅっ , type "juxtu" and to type じっ , type "jixtu" .
