As we build the number of characters learned we will increase the vocabulary as well
Later we will see that sometimes this character is used to make characters longer in pronunciation - keep that in mind, but don't worry, be happy |

'Speak' or 'Say'?
Argh! Why can’t everything match up! The wonder and frustrations of language I suppose! My text books is claiming that いう is ‘speak’ and TJP and my dictionary 居う [I used JWPce software to convert to Kanji], claim it’s ‘to say’ or ‘say’ respectively. I’m happy to go with TJP and the dictionary, but how much does the slight difference matter? Is it just a matter of preference or tense? Is the more formal ‘speak’ used just to be on the safe side? Bear in mind I’m lousy at grammar so make explanations easy to follow ;-)
