What do you dislike or find difficult about Japanese? It's different depending on the person. I think many people find pronunciation, kanji, grammar, etc. difficult, but as a Japanese language learner, the thing I struggle with the most is vocabulary. This time, I would like to share an article about the verb "kake", which has the same pronunciation but different meanings. It's a Japanese Language Proficiency Test N5 level word, but if you look into it carefully, you'll find that there are many ways to write it in kanji, and it has a wide variety of meanings and characteristics. I would like to introduce what kind of kanji is written for "kakeru" and how to use it in what context.
