Note on Kanji Recognition Texts


漢字 · かんじ

Aule Kanji Pages · Kanji Recog Pages

About the KanjiRecog pages : an article reduced to fixed columns without most of its kana cannot be READ, but the task for a kanji learner is to be forced to RECOGNIZE and identify and notice and recall.

Some katakana show up less ; some hiragana are not in common use and it can be instructive to ask : is that the katakana character or the VERY similar kanji ( there are a few of these. )

Sometimes I use my editor to reset the single column of text to 5 characters wide, sometimes 50 ... the recognition challenge changes. At 5 wide, for me, the kana stand out clearly as do many duplicates in a text.

But you will not likely be aware of what tips you off that THIS kanji is not what you expected and that one is its duplicate. You don't need to learn it now : the exercise is for your capacity to discern features. Some of it you will need to do actively, but much of it comes passively if you look at enough kanji !

kanji buttons

There are a few Japanese kanji on the buttons of the beta 0.903 of the Double-Kanji dictionary at kanji.aule-browser.com.

Here is a screenshot with the new NAV buttons:






A new filter option will add expressions that are two Kanji plus a single Katakana or Hiragana character.

In a few days the new UI and functionality will be the full dictionary with Katakana and Hiragana (simply without the double-character filter selected.)

The last feature is about two days away: browsing each item with details in a larger format.
