Banned hiragana from Japanese license plates and why
Most Japanese license plates have a hiragana on them, but some are banned
(edit)
お (o) - looks similar to あ (a)
を(wo) - pronounced the same way as お(o)
し(shi) - the character for death (死) is also pronounced shi
へ(he) - there is another character pronounced the same way (屁) and it means fart
+ へ can sometimes be read as え(e)
ん (n) - cause it is hard to pronounce on its own

i was very surprised at how difficult it was to find (good) resources for learners that accurately describe how 部首 (in English we translate this to be the "radical") work in 漢字 (kanji). i pulled these from a very comprehensive guide of kanji from おじゃちゃん, a native speaker who is also a language teacher and if youre interested in learning more, you should check out her full overview here.
to a beginner this might not be as useful - but when you get deep enough into japanese i think it's worth it to understand how kanji is actually used by native speakers. understanding how the radical works can also help you guess at meanings and recognize common patterns that may make memorizing kanji easier

My kanji is terrible and I recently learned about the book by Andrew Scott Conning.
The Kanji Learner Course is an amazing book for learning kanji, the best thing about it which made me buy it was the fact that it explains how to remember every single kanji like a teacher.
I have only done till the first 100 kanjis for now but it's definitely a wonderful book!
I highly recommend buying it if you want a comprehensive kanji book.

Learning how to actually write Kanji #003
(If you follow me, you may be aware that I post Japanese vocab list that I learn from listening to Japanese podcasts/books. So this is basically me learning how to write those words!)
Today I learned a new kanji + some vocab words:
Tumblr media
Notes: It has both the radical for "rice paddy" and "street", some people say that to qualify somewhere as a town it needs to have both rice fields and streets.
Vocab words: 下町 (したまち) -> old part of town 町角 (まちかど) -> street corner
Stroke order:

no but this discord chain abt the shinazugawa kids names
(lost the other convo but awhile ago i also explained sanemi & genyas names (sanemis "mi" and genyas "ya" are the same, meaning "all the more". the sane means "loyal" and the "gen" means "mysterious", which fits both their characters perfectly)
