Before we start learn kanji, there are 2 way to spell a kanji reading. It's Onyomi (音読み) and Kunyomi (訓読み). Onyomi is a chinese reading, it means if 2
kanji becomes one, the reading of that kanji is based on their onyomi. But not always the reading of two kanji based on their onyomi. And i will explain it
later. The second is Kunyomi, kunyomi is a Japanese reading, it means that a kanji can be read and have a meaning on it. It is different with onyomi, if a
single kanji read in onyomi, it hadn't a meaning.
So we start in Kanji of Number, here we go
on:イチ, イツ
kun:ひと-, ひと.つ
meaning: One
on:ニ, ジ
kun:ふた, ふた.つ, ふたた.び
meaning: Two
on:サン, ゾウ
kun:み, み.つ, みっ.つ
meaning: Three
on:シ
kun:よ, よ.つ, よっ.つ, よん
meaning: Four
on:ゴ
kun:いつ, いつ.つ
meaning: five
on:ロク, リク
kun:む, む.つ, むっ.つ, むい
meaning: Six
on:シチ
kun:なな, なな.つ, なの
meaning: Seven
on:ハチ
kun:や, や.つ, やっ.つ, よう
meaning: Eight
on:キュウ, ク
kun:ここの, ここの.つ
meaning: nine
on:ジュウ, ジッ, ジュッ
kun:とお, と
meaning: Ten
Thats it for now. Next time i will add more kanji. じゃ、ここでおわります。

Learn Kana (part 2)
So we continue on katakana. Long ago only men using katakana. But now, Katakana is use for write a foreign words. For example, butter is written バター it spell bataa. Katakana have sharper shape than hiragana, that's why men use katakana for showing their personality.
So, this is the picture and try to remember it.

Learn KAna (part 1)
before we study about Japanese language, at first we have to study or know the alphabet of japanese character. It's called kana, divide into two: hiragana and katakana.
Long ago, these character was not found yet. Because Japanese use kanji ( Chinese Character) for their pronounciation. Hiragana for women and Katakana for Men.
Kana is made from kanji,the chinese character. Because Japanese didn't have their own character, they make kana from kanji itself.
Ok, we start it from hiragana firstOn my next post I will explain the origin of hiragana, so see you later.
どうもありがとうございました。。。
