Collaborative Building of Japanese Kanji Pronunciation Database for Learning Japanese by Chinese

摘要

Chinese learners who learn Japanese, it is difficult to enhance speaking ability through reading Japanese teaching materials and articles. Because many Kanji have the same or approx meaning in Japanese and Chinese, therefore during reading the Japanese educational materials Chinese learners are not necessary to master the pronunciation of Kanji in Japanese to understand. Currently few systems deal with learning the pronunciation of Japanese Kanji in reading and furthermore enhancing speaking ability. In this paper, we present a self-directed reading environment for Chinese learners to learn the pronunciation of Japanese Kanji in daily reading and describe developing a collaborative-building database to realize it.
