Given the trials and tribulations I described last week, the title of this blog might make you think I’m referring to my mental health. No. I’m doing OK, because the data-recovery crew salvaged almost 100 percent of my data! Yippee! Hurray! And hallelujah!

“Putting the Pieces Together” means that today, in the latter half of a two-part review, we’ll shift away from last week’s focus on individual kanji and will now look at compounds containing those characters.

In past blogs, we’ve spent time discussing all the words you’ll encounter in today’s quizzes. But of course, kanji being what it is, there’s no guarantee that anything has stuck. That’s certainly true for me. Kanji makes me feel like Winnie-the-Pooh—a bear of very little brain.

In the Answer Keys for today’s quizzes, you’ll find links to blogs in which we’ve explored these compounds. At all turns, you’ll also find a link to comprehensive information about the 23 characters we reviewed last week.

Back next week with a “real” blog!
