The biggest obstacle that every student studying Japanese will face… The three Japanese characters, right? Even we Japanese study kanji throughout the nine years of compulsory education, and we still sometimes misuse them.
How did Japan end up using three characters?
So today, I will talk about the history of Japanese characters. I will then explain how the three characters are each used today. Finally, I will share the images the three types of characters hold and the usages that no one hardly talks about.
By watching this video, I hope you will be able to enjoy studying Japanese even more. If there’s anything else you’d like to know more about the Japanese language, please let me know in the comments.
