What is Hanja ? [001]

Hanja is Chinese word with Korean sound.

 

For example, 한국(Hanguk) is Korean but the original word is 韓國 (KS: Hanguk, CS: 韩国 Hánguó, JS: 韓国 Kankoku).

 

When you learn Hanja, if you memory a word with image, you cannot use not so many without effort.

 

I'd like to let you know how to memorize so many word with Haja spelling likeas English words are made with alphabet spellings.

 

One difficulty is Hanja spelling numbers is 300.
