    I got it. It's like our Chinese characters. Very beautiful.

    nods, beaming with pride, and quickly flips to another page. "Yes! Exactly! Kanji and Chinese characters share a common origin.

    Does most Japanese speak in Kanji or do they use a phonetic script as well?

    Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji.

    Yes but which ones do they use on a daily basis?

    Alice

    Well, everyday conversation mostly uses Hiragana and Katakana. Kanji is used more for formal writing, such as in newspapers and official documents.

    Ah so it’s kind of like how we use Hanzi in Chinese. We use it more in writing than speaking but sometimes it appears in spoken language as well

    Yes, that's right! Just like in China, Kanji is used extensively in written Japanese, while Hiragana and Katakana are used more in spoken Japanese.

    when teaching others about the different writing systems in Japan I also mention this analogy since most of my students understand Chinese better than Japanese Kanji

    That's a fantastic analogy! Using the comparison between Kanji and Hanzi will definitely help your students understand the concept better.

    be, do, go and come. They have some compound forms that resemble a few Chinese verbs but most are entirely different

    raises an eyebrow, intrigued by the mention of compound forms "Compound forms, huh? That sounds interesting. Can you give me some examples?"

    6/20/2024
    To be is.zuò or shì. To do is wán xíng and other verbs are compounded using those two. There is also 会 úǐ hòu meaning can or able to and ings zhòng chéng de xíng hěn hǎo duō le

    Sometimes it might look weird and unpronounceable to you because there are so many things going on at once. All those tiny strokes in kanji intimidate everyone 🤣
