Kanji - Japanese and Chinese meaning

Hi

I'm moving to Japan in the next week. I have learnt basic Japanese for the last few months, e.g. hiragana and katakana.

When I go to Japan, I will probably start learning Kanji too. I am from a Chinese background, but I grew up in the UK - so I only know a handful of characters.

I was wondering if anyone knew any good text book that give both Japanese and Chinese pronunciation of the same characters, and meanings?

This would be useful as I could improve my reading/writing skills on both languages at the same time.

Thanks
Rob

I don't know about books, but the software Wakan http://wakan.manga.cz has, among other things, a kanji dictionary for both chinese and japanese pronounciation. You can also print out flash cards for learning, but I don't know if you can display both languages on the same flashcards.

That's even better!! And it's free too. Amazing what you find on the internet.

Thanks for your help,
Rob

most Kanji in Japan already have the Chinese pronunciation in them. So if you buy any kanji book that lists all one kanji's different methods of reading, it will most certainly list the Chinese pronunciation as well.

Miyuki, "on-yomi" and Chinese are two different things.
