The first milestone in Japanese language study.

It seems like I made some progress in my study of Japanese. I have been studying Japanese for years often setback by the unyielding kanjis. Still I barely can utter one complete sentence.

But some deciphering has been helpful for scratching my way ahead. Here’s an example:

kanji “review, look back”

This is a kanji meaning, look back or review.

Its components are:

kanji “hire, employ” hire, employ, plus kanji2.gifhead or neck.

The way I learn this is: when somebody is hired, the boss has to look back at his work and review its quality. Nobody leaves a new, untrained recruit unattended. Employer’s head looking back to employee’s work. Thus the meaning ‘look back’ comes. Right or wrong, this is my way of tackling this. Hopefully I am not wrong. I looked at other authoritative sources where I could not agree with explanations.

While traveling on bumpy roads I was reading books and now a light at the end of the tunnel seems to glitter.
