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.
