stackedit.io/app#

stackedit.io/app# seems to me to be the sort of rich web app that MIT Curl, of Curl.com, intended to be back 20 years ago as an alternative to HTML+CSS+JS as a declarative web content language already equivalent to JSON  as a homoiconic data declaration language ... not quite Rebol 2.7.6 or a Smalltalk or Visual Prolog, but having worked in both Smalltalk and Prolog dialects, i can say it was as strong as VisualAge Smalltalk, Visualworks Smalltalk and now opensourced  Dolphin Smalltalk for Windows. Comparing Visual Prolog to Smalltalk is not quite fair ... Comparing new Mercury to old Strongtalk m8ght be closer to being fair ?

Cutting Corners With Kanji

漢字 · かんじ

Aule Kanji Pages · Kanji Recog Pages

What to do with old-style kanji flashcards that use roumaji instead of kana ?

Well, I cut their corners !

Taking off the lower-right corner of the card with one small snip means ON-yomi ONLY.

The loss of the upper-right corner means more than one sound comprises some one pronunciation.

The upper-left corner means more than one pronunciation.

If you use the lower-left for kokuji that may not give you many such cards, but they will be easy to find in any deck of cards.

I think the lower-left might be used with the right-side corners to flag cards that are for kanji with single but long sounds.  What do you think ?

Make a few cards with cardstock or poster board or bristol board and see what you think of a deck of 20 cards in your pocket.

For a history of such cards, see the early days of information storage in government and business !

kanji tips on kana

漢字 · かんじ

Aule Kanji Pages · Kanji Recog Pages

Learning to pronounce Japanese kanji ?

You can forget about these kana for remembering the initial or first sounds of some 2,000 basic kanji :

きゃ -
きゅ -
きょ -
ざ - 
じ -  
ず -  
ぜ (1) 
ぞ -   
く -
し -
しゃ -
しゅ -  しゅう -
しょ -
じゃ - じゃ.れる  戯
じゅ -  じゅう  -  さんじゅう   世   じゅん.じる  準

じょ -  じょう -
そ - 
づ -
ば -
び -  
ぶ -  ぶた (1)  ぶる (1)  
べ -  べに  (1) 
ぼ -

シャ  予
ツ  -
へ -
ヌ  -
ら - 
り -  
れ - 
ろ -
りゅ -
りょ -
パ -
ピ -
プ -
ペ -
ポ - 
ピャ -
ピュ -
ピョ -
ヂ  -
ヅ  -

And you can all but forget about 

ヒャ -  ヒャク  百
ヒュ -

ミャ -  ミャク  脈
ミュ -

ヂャ -
ヂュ -  ヂュウ  住
ヂョ -

And many others have only one, two or three instances of kanji that begin with that sound.

Of course, if you are not distinguishing ON-yomi and kun-yomi, all bets are off ...

And as you might expect, many katakana are not relevant for kanji.
