Tired of "JP ONRY"? Let's bridge the language gap!

I disagree. You can read 日 one way in Chinese. You can read it 3 or 4 ways in Japanese. So you have to know the reading for the word. Chinese characters are just 1 character = 1 sound. Japanese 1 character = possibly, and usually, many readings.

I didn't mean to say it's identical and can be understood right away. It's absolutely right that the Japanese use of it evolved during the centuries. I wanted to point it that it's an easier way to learn them, especially since traditional mandarin is the root of the Japanese language. At least it was a lot easier for me, after I first failed at Kanji.
