Easy to understand Japanese kanji pronunciation
 |
Description
Book Introduction
From systematic theory to practical reading practice, master Japanese kanji sounds perfectly.
Korean and Japanese are very closely related in terms of their language structure, so their word order is the same and their grammar systems are similar.
However, the phonological systems of the two languages are very different, which creates a large gap in reading Chinese characters.
『Easy to Understand Japanese Kanji Sounds』 provides an easy and clear explanation, organized by type, for learners who have difficulty reading Japanese Kanji sounds, of how Chinese sounds were incorporated into Korean and Japanese, and what rules led to the current pronunciation through the phonetic changes of the two languages.
Through “Practice Problems” and “Reading Practice,” learners can think and practice on their own, and through free video lectures directly delivered by the author, learners’ understanding is further enhanced with richer explanations.

Publisher's Review
A phonological approach to deeply understand the principles of Japanese pronunciation.
『Easy to Understand Japanese Kanji』 covers the pronunciation principles of Japanese Kanji in depth, using a phonological approach rather than simple memorization.
It clearly states that the Chinese characters in Korea and Japan originated from the Middle Chinese pronunciation, and explains in an easy-to-understand academic way how they were accepted and changed in different forms according to the differences in the phonetic systems of the two countries.
Understand at a glance the historical changes in Korean and Japanese Chinese characters and the corresponding principles.
It explains that Chinese characters are divided into Wu sounds (吳音) and Han sounds (漢音) depending on the time and region when they were introduced to Korea and Japan, and it is organized so that the historical change process and corresponding relationship of each Chinese character sound can be understood at a glance by presenting it in a table.
In addition, by systematically organizing and showing the principles of correspondence between Korean and Japanese Chinese characters, we have enabled learners to standardize correspondence.
