時間じかん
time
時半じはん
half past (the hour)
時期じき
time; season; period; phase; stage
時事じじ

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.
