新生しんせい
rebirth; new birth; nascent
新聞しんぶん

Choose your next practice

For reading, cover a word’s pronunciation and recall it before checking. For handwriting, hide the stroke diagram and write the character from memory. An isolated reading list is a reference; the word determines which sound you need.
