Thank you for visiting this Character Home Page. Below you'll find a synopsis of the essay. If you wish to read the full text, the PDF of the essay is available for purchase to the right.

Synopsis

Learn to talk about doing things in earnest and having an unwavering focus. Find out how to say, "She is studying the arts with sincere passion," "His political activity is based on a sincere belief in social welfare," and "Serious scholars tend to worry a lot." Also learn which quasi-proverb people would use to admonish singers not to be so eager to perform on TV before honing their skills. 

Note: There is no game with which to practice vocabulary because the star kanji appears in very few terms, and the game won't work without a minimum number of vocabulary words. But you can play other Kanshudo games related to 摯.
