Leaving Cert Japanese Required Kanji

Roloz

Hey, I was wondering if anyone had a complete list of the required Kanji for leaving cert and what they mean in english. I know there are about 110 on the syllabus if that helps.

Thanks in advance

I don't have a list, but it's all the ones covered in the leaving cert Japanese book nihongo kantan. Also they're listed on the syllabus which you can get if you google it.

Aw, Cheers I didn't even know there was an Irish textbook for Japanese, my school doesnt teach it and only 1 school in the county does so I've just been learning online and using iphone apps.

Yeah u should probably buy the textbook, then you'll know what you have to know and can control your learning better. I started off teaching myself but eventually got a teacher. I don't go to her that often because I've gone way past the book but I would advise you try an organise a teacher one and a while at least, even it you have to travel a bit. Try email the Japanese language teachers association, jlti ( google it), and they'll be able to help you fin a teacher. Plus download the app Kotoba, it's an absolutely amazing dictionary and free! Helped me like ridiculously when I was in japan plus it has kanji search things and examples and stuff it's awesome. And btw what county are you in there?

Roloz

Yeah, I was thinking of getting a teacher after I learned Hiragana and Katakana, I bought a book called Kane de Manga and thats helping alot. Nihongo Kantan is pretty expensive isn't it? I am in Limerick.

digme

why are you learning Japanese, when china is the future?

Roloz

@Digme I don't plan on visiting communist China and because I want to know Japanese.

I learnt Japanese from about 6th class until 3rd year for a reason I don't really remember. I was almost fluent and then stopped for 2 years, and now I've forgotten most of it. It was a bit of a waste of time tbh :P

You're a lifesaver,
