What Can You Find Here?

You can click on the category titles to see the posts under the category:

Korean Through Hanja 한자어 정선: Each blog post will have some Sino-Korean words with a common Chinese character. If I were to learn 5 new Sino-Korean Words a day, that means I can learn more than 1800 words a year.
All entries will use Traditional Chinese, the standard used in Korea. Take note that there will be differences with Japanese Kanji and obviously Simplified Chinese.

Canto Mando Menu 菜單指南 I love Chinese food, and eventually I would like to learn how to read a Chinese menu entirely and be able to order in Mandarin and Cantonese. Blog posts will be in English and Japanese.

Yoji-Time 四字熟語: Learn how to use some common 4-character Japanese idiomatic expressions.

Kotowaza Corner ことわざ・コーナー Learn how to use some common Japanese idiomatic expressions.

Observations on Language Learning: Just as the title says!

Accounting and Economic Terms in Chinese and Japanese

Hope this can help ESL students or English-speaking students learning Chinese and Japanese doing commerce-related subjects. This list will grow in the next two and a half years (fingers-crossed I won't give up halfway). I'm going to upload Chinese first simply because Chinese online dictionaries have more content than Japanese online dictionaries and hence I can find the Chinese equivalents much faster. Most words come from Nciku.com, and then I did a 百度 search for those that are Australian-specific or not in the dictionary (such as organisation names etc.)
