“minimal kanji” is still 2000 different kanji tho, and most of them have at least two different readings. 生 has the highest number of different readings at like nine or twelve or something. so getting baqua level reading skills still takes quite a lot of work. *cries in japanese major*
@@moderth95 A few hundreds should be enough 'survive', like understanding signs, having no problem with shopping, transportation etc. Knowing 2000 is already at the level of some Japanese people / highschool students.
A great example of Aqua being Baqua. Tho i can't speak since i only know like 1 or 2 of the questions. Hi to the best host A-chan, 2nd gen - Shion, Friend, Aki, Neko, and HAI. Kinda want that Neko headband irl.
Don't worry! They´re purposefully hard. The kanji for America is unused and アメリカ (amerika) in katakana is used instead. Same with france and some of the others from here.
See Japanese can not speak Japanese properly, "Maybe I should give up learning too...". Anyhow, this match up is actually interesting, because as Aqua is not good at reading Kanji and English, Ayame is very quick witted with pun and words, Choco-sensei is knowledgeable, so these two are already the best at solving Aqua "problem". If they can't answer then no one can.
Its mostly kanji with multiple reading and it's not the common reading. Younger japanese usually won't use or see such words in their studies or daily lives.
Writing France or Paris in Kanji is definitely unusual, so that can be excused. Forgetting the Kanji for crocodile also makes sense, because it's often written in Kana, and how often do you read about crocodiles anyway. Reading 首都 as 都市 though, when both "capital" and "city" are words that an adult should encounter quite frequently, is 100% just Aqua being special.
