  • what did hiroko say ichigatsu ment?

  • @TheYuka13 January :)

  • I don't understand one thing: why I have to learn the correct stroke order ?

    If I write a kanji in a different stroke order, who'll notice it if the final shape is the same ?

  • @nicetubex You usually won't notice if a kanji is written in different stoke order just by the final shape, but the stroke order is there to make the actual writing process easier. When you learn the stroke order for simple kanji, it makes writing larger kanji (which are usually made by putting simpler ones together) much easier :)

  • uhh, doesnt tsuki also mean month? or is the kanji written differently?

  • @tiggerinlove93 Yes, 月 also means month :)

  • @japanesepod101 so it's easier to write, right?

  • Then how can you read tsuki as raito? o.O It was in Death NOte!!!  LOL is there like another reading?

  • So how do you tell which sound it is?

  • You're awesome teacher !!

    I saw this charecter 月 in the " Whats App " application .and now I know what does it mean =)

  • CRESCENT MOON? reeeeally?

  • Naming the months is really simple o3o It's just the number of the month's order(from 1 to 12, because of 12 months in total), and then 月, representing month. 一月(Ichigatsu), 一(ichi=one)月(gatsu=month), the first month. The first month of the year would be January. 二月(Nigatsu), second month, is February, and so on. Is this correct?

  • January = 一月 = 일월

  • @japanesepod101 So i gather that every month has a number prefix?  Wow, that's easier ifso. :D

  • oh can't stop watching this lessons...

    it's so easy and fun to learn kanji with teacher like her.

    thanks uploader! x3

  • @tiggerinlove93
