Lesson 2
These kanji characters were made from very primitive pictures as follows. Remember that each kanji has its "KUN YOMl" (Japanese reading) and "ON YOMl" (Chinese reading).
Picture	^/	-*		-	Kanji 'X	"KUN"	"ON" il	Meaning fire
			*					water
#~								gold, money
4~		-						ground, earth
						-	■>	child
								woman, female
a. * h /\\\\\\\\ HR ~*	< I >		-5-				if 9	study
			3l					live, birth
v			ft.		ft		-fey	ahead, previous
Usually the		ON YOMl"		(Ch	nese rea	ding) of kanj	i will be	written using
Katakana in a kanji dictionary. Therefore, students are expected to learn Katakana as soon as possible after mastering Hiragana.
