Hanja and Kanji I assumed they'd work the same way, but I'm a bit confused at the moment D: A Sino-Korean word usually has its Native Korean equivalent, right? Like 춘=봄, 백=횐, 소=작다, 목=나무, etc. (I know only 8급 ㅋ) and of course, the Korean numbers have the Sino-Korean equivalents, but the SK include many more. The Sino-Korean words are the 한글-lised versions of the Hanja characters.. so 소 can also be 小, or 小 is said as 소, etc. I understand that Kanji is incorporated into everyday Japanese, but I thought that Chinese characters had only one syllable. I come across 春 and it's said as 'haru'. Is this the Native-Japanese way to say 春, or is this the ONLY way is can be said in Japanese. Also, if I want to spell 春 in Japanese, or if I forget the Kanji for it, do I use Katakana or Hiragana? Also, why do Japanese numbers have 'つ’　at the end? Alsoooo, could somebody recommend me a good online dictionary for Japanese like Naver is for Korean? Sorry for my essay of a question. I hope I made it clear enough. ありがとう～ 감사합니다~

So, you are learning both Korean and Japanese? Wow :D Korean people employed only one Chinese-origin sound to read Hanja. For example, 春＝춘. The meaning is 봄, but you don't read the hanja 春 as 봄. On the other hand, Japanese kanji are read both in the Chinese-origin sounds("on-yomi"), and its corresponding meanings ("kun-yomi"). On-yomi for 春 is "shun", and "kun-yomi" for 春 is "haru." On-yomi has only one syllable, or two at most. If we forget how to write in kanji, we usually use hiragana. (There are some exceptions, though. You will learn them one by one. e.g. foreign proper names) >Also, why do Japanese numbers have 'つ’　at the end? You mean, hitotsu, hutatsu, mittsu...? It's pure Japanese way to count things. Just like 하나, 둘, 세, in Korean.

Japanese kanji usually have at least TWO readings: 1. Kun-yomi - this reading comes from a native Japanese word 2. On-yomi - this reading comes from just about any dialect in China, very similar to our English latinized words. There are two ways of counting in Japanese from one to ten. Just learn them. At these beginning stages of learning there is really no need to understand every aspect of the language. You will pick this up as you go along. Be patient.
