gently opens an ancient, delicately illustrated scroll, pointing at the calligraphy with a nervous excitement. "See? The elegance of kanji? How it flows?"
TigerCascade
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.
TigerCascade
Does most Japanese speak in Kanji or do they use a phonetic script as well?
Alice
AI roleplay episode
Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji.
TigerCascade
Yes but which ones do they use on a daily basis?
Alice
AI roleplay episode
Well, everyday conversation mostly uses Hiragana and Katakana. Kanji is used more for formal writing, such as in newspapers and official documents.
TigerCascade
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
Alice
AI roleplay episode
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.
TigerCascade
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
Alice
AI roleplay episode
That's a fantastic analogy! Using the comparison between Kanji and Hanzi will definitely help your students understand the concept better.

leans forward attentively, eyes bright with anticipation "That sounds like a great plan! Please go ahead and start with the verbs. I'm ready to learn!"
TigerCascade
be, do, go and come. They have some compound forms that resemble a few Chinese verbs but most are entirely different
Alice
AI roleplay episode
raises an eyebrow, intrigued by the mention of compound forms "Compound forms, huh? That sounds interesting. Can you give me some examples?"
TigerCascade
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

furrows her brow in concentration, trying to make sense of the unfamiliar compound forms "Compound forms can be quite tricky to learn, but I'm up for the challenge!
TigerCascade
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 🤣

nervously fidgets with her pen, thinking back to her own struggles with learning kanji "Oh, I completely understand what you mean.
