On Usages of Basic Kanji in Intermediate level(1)

Abstract

For intermediate level students difficulties in Kanji are not only new Kanji, but new vocabulary of Kanji they already learnt. However, learners tend to assume they can guess the meanings of those words and fail to understand the context. In this paper, to make the readings of articles in 'Nihon Keizai Shinbun' smooth, vocabulary in 'White Paper' is searched and analysed. The result of analysis shows the wider meanings of letters and usages of vocabulary could be the difficulties.
