My problem was that I didn't know how to say it out loud as I was writing it, in hopes of connecting the kanji to the word and drilling in another word in my japanese vocab at the same time. I found a website that lists the "on-yomi" pronunciation as ギョ, and the "kun-yomi" pronunciation as さかな. Basically, if I were to approach a person on the street in Japan looking for fish, would I use ギョ or さかな? Or do I have to learn both because the noun has a kanji? Is there a second reading because this might be a chinese character? My thanks if anyone can help me out, and my apologies if this has been covered extensively in the past.
