About this ebook
Following the first volume of 'Remembering the Kanji', the present work takes up the pronunciation of characters and provides students with helpful tools for memorizing them. Behind the inconsistencies in the way the Japanese language has come to pronounce the characters it received from China lie several coherent patterns. Identifying these patterns and arranging them in logical order can reduce dramatically the amount of time spent in the brute memorization of sounds unrelated to written forms. 'Remembering the Kanji 2' lays out the varieties of phonetic patterns and offers helpful hints for learning readings, which might otherwise appear completely random, in an efficient and rational way. A parallel system of pronouncing the kanji, their 'Japanese readings,' uses native Japanese words assigned to particular Chinese characters.
