みなさん、こんにちは!
We hope you’re enjoying the kanji video series! Can you think of any other kanji that are essentially two other kanji put together? (There are a lot out there!)
Saturday at 12:31 am
I am enjoying the lessons very much! I especially appreciate how 紘子先生 writes the On readings in katakana and the Kun readings in hiragana to reinforce the fact that the On comes from outside Japan. Perhaps this is a standard way to do it, but it caught my attention and I think it is great.
As for two kanji put together using the ones in the other lessons, I can’t think of any yet…

Thank you, the video is so interesting ^____^
I really like it !

Nice lesson again Hiroko-sensei and Japanesepod
some combination kanji that I can think of would be…
明 (日+月)
休 (人+木)
時 (日+寺)
Saturday at 10:34 am
Again very good useful explanation from 紘子先生
Tommy san great idea, yes I think this is reason.
All outside 日本 is written on カタカナ
and Japanese word , names are on ひらがな
Easy to follow , Chinese are also foreigner ね?
But we have the teachers

A couple more things came to mind since my previous comment… (どうも ありがとう, Zoran-san, for your kind words.)
I often hear the Kun reading of 東 — ひがし — given when talking about the East Coast, whether of Japan, but more often about the East Coast of North America. And the word for that is ひがしかいがん, with kaigan meaning “coast.”
Also, Rhys-san’s middle example of 休 is a really good one I think! I never have any problem distinguishing 木 from 本, but 休 from 体 often makes me stop and think… (But it’s a lot of fun!)

すごい Tommy さん

Funny thing , from Japan looking on east what is the first continent? I mean first coast.
California
そですね?

Just subscribed. Loved your video so much! What music is it that playing both in front and at the end of this episode? Thanks so much!
Tuesday at 6:41 am
Great lesson again, thanks! Though the camera angles made it difficult for me to concentrate - I had to tilt my head to see the kanji vertically. Maybe you could keep the hand-held effect for when Hiroko-san’s talking?

Wah ひろこ先生はオーストラリア人の発音ですよね!

Jenny - I would imagine that you can get it from Zarul Shekhar directly.
Try http://www.zarul.com/Zarul/Welcome.html
There’s an email address for him - zarulzarul@gmail.com
Let me know how you get on!

nice ^^ that was surprisingly easy to understand.and as jenny pointed out(which i somehow always forgot to mention),the traditional music playing in the background is really sweet
Wednesday at 5:49 am
Love those kanji lessons. I would raver describe that kanji as 本(origin)+日(sun)=東(east) and origin of the sun, place where sun starts.
