Please watch it on Spotify or YouTube ▶ https://is.gd/xehPRB 🎧️ Learn Japanese with Sally 🎧️  In this video (👉 https://youtu.be/_QXV332RK5c), I explained my perspective on Kanji and the importance of the basic 100 characters.  (Dubbed in 13 languages—check it out if you haven’t yet!) Learning the meanings of Kanji is extremely important. In this video, I focus specifically on their meanings.  Since Kanji are characters that represent meaning, please watch this video as many times as it takes until you can instantly recognize the meaning of each character.  --- この動画（👉 https://youtu.be/_QXV332RK5c）で、私の「漢字に対する考え方」や「基本100字の大切さ」について解説しています。 （13言語に吹き替えしているので、まだご覧になっていない方はぜひチェックしてみてください）。 漢字の意味を覚えることは非常に大切です。この動画でご紹介するのは漢字の意味です。 漢字は意味を表す文字ですので、漢字を見て意味がすぐわかるようになるまで、何度もご覧ください。 -------------------------------------------------- ✏️ Practice Writing these 5 Kanji!

So — what exactly happens in Korean schools on this day? Let's take a peek at April Fools' traditions from around the world. 4月1日、エイプリルフール。日本でもだんだん知られるようになってきましたが、実はその始まりはフランスにあります。450年以上前のある王様の決断が、世界中に広がった「ウソの日」のきっかけになったと言われています。フランス、韓国、イギリス、スペイン…国によって、エイプリルフールの楽しみ方はずいぶん違います。さて、韓国の学校では、この日に何が起きるのでしょうか？世界のエイプリルフール文化を一緒にのぞいてみましょう。 ◆今日の朗読リンク｜The source website of the material（Googleドライブ）https://is.gd/RT9orQ【You can comment here👇️】◆YouTubeLearn Japanese with Sally:Japanese video lessons now available◆Pod page[Blog]Official Website (Blog & Episode Notes)◆SpotifyLearn Japanese with Sally ：You can also listen to it here◆My UdemyI currently have three Japanese learning courses available. 【English, Spanish, German, French, and Chinese subtitles】
