Kanji Of The Day: 卒中
romanji: socchuu
hiragana:そっちゅう
definition: noun (meishi) ; cerebral stroke; apoplexy
As many of you know I take a kanji test every Monday with my first grade students. This is one of the kanji for the test today. I love kanji, so many words I am just dying, or in this case, having a stroke to know!!

I think its a very useful word personally. Once, my dad took this self diagnostic test online and thought he had had a mini-stroke, because he couldn't wink one of his eyes. He was just being stupid and of course never had a stroke, so my mom and I made fun of him for a very long time, as loving family members should. Anyway, the point is, now I can make fun of my dad in Japanese!
