Abstract
The acquisition of the homographs between Japanese and Chinese seems to be difficult for Chinese-speaking learners. Accordingly we have developed kanji materials to study the meaning of adjective homographs whose differences are subtle and hard for learners to notice by themselves. The materials are for intermediate or advanced level learners and provide systematic study of the homographs with other semantically related homographs. We minimized the semantic description of the words and prepared many quizzes to help learners correctly learn the differences between the two languages. Many learners first noticed the true meaning of the Japanese only after using these materials.
