This Week's Kanji, first set

Hello everyone! I want to share the Kanji I'll be reviewing this week. Again I'll be looking at some Kanji I had previously studied, but for lack of practice I either forgot some of the meanings, or forgot how to write them!

This is the first set of two sets of six I'll be reviewing.

Here they are:

1) 古  Ko, Furu(i) - Old

(I cannot believe I forgot how to write this one lol)

2) 安  An - Peace, calm; Yasu(i) - Cheap; -yasu(i) easy to (do) (*suffix)

3) 軍  Gun - Army, military force

4) 里  Ri - an old linear unit; Sato - Village, birth place

5) 石  Seki, Shaku, Ishi - Stone; Koku - a unit of capacity

6) 玉  Tama, gyoku - Jewel

These are the Kanji! I'm studying with a (very) good book; it's called 'Essential Kanji' by P.G. O'Neill. I'm not affiliated with the publisher in any way, and this is not sponsored or connected to them in any way, this is just my personal recommendation as a student to other students who might be interested in knowing what I'm using to study. I do recommend this book, I think it's very helpful how it presents the Kanji, very organized.
I do, however, recommend that you get an additional dictionary for further reference, it's what I'm doing. I use the 'Kodansha Kanji Learners' Dictionary' in addition to this book; I used it alone for years, and it's very, very good. I think using them together will be more helpful in my learning.
(Again, I'm not affiliated with them or have any contact with them, even; it's just a recommendation from my experience to you).

I hope you like this post, and if you want to read more from me I have another Blog, dedicated to the Spanish language, and a Twitter Page.
Until next time! :)
