Kanji

I read the funny news about Japanese 'Kanji'. Once, I had talked about Kanji to Ba and then he was surprised. According to this news, 70% of Japanese couldn't write Kanji since they had used PC. Now,We use PC when we make documents. We don't use pens when we write. That is true. I don't ofen use any pens when I work. If I don't have any pens, I will be able to work at my office. Japanese feels that they have trouble in writing Kanji with using pens. What do they do when they don't know how to write one Kanji? 52% of Japanese input Japanese hiragana with PC in order to convert it. Yes, me too! Japanese thank Japanese input method.

Hi Reona
that's interesting, it's amazing how technology can change things,
but like Ipshi said it's sad if it replaces traditional crafts and skills.
I really wanted to learn Japanese , so I got all kinds of books including a Kanji dictionary.. it is an impossible task, I think you need to start very young and probably you need to at least live in Japan if not be Japanese to have any chance.
I learned a few very simple kanji , like water , mountain , month etc. but after that...impossible.. ha ha so i thought I would try to learn hirigana etc. instead... ha ha what a fool , I couldn't fix them in my memory either... ha ha
So I slowly try to learn a little speach and a few words with romaji... maybe one day.

By the way I am amazed how good you are at English !!

take care
mike

Yes.You and Ipshi are right.

It is very sad that Japanese forget Kanji.

I hope you wirte romaji and speak well in Japanese!

I think Japanese is easy to learn.
My English is not good.
I sometimes feel that.
Anyway,I will keep studying English!

Take care!

I can understand why.. Coz for me.. i can remember and know what the word is when it's in hiragana, but if given the kanji version.. i go "Eh?? What's that??" <.<; *hopeless*

I didn't know rose is 薔薇, i only knew it's バラ. But it's the same things, except its kanji. Orz... m(_ _)m
