Very interesting. Kanji nuances! I learned something today, never knew there were two similar kanji’s for kiku. By the way, don't feel like you need to upvote my comments in this thread.

Perhaps I’ve been going a bit engagement crazy. 🤣
I just found a chart that made it seem like 聞く can be used in any situation, even when learning something by way of reading it, like I did through your post.
聴く seems to be specifically for music and other nuanced situations. I think I’ll avoid it from here on out just to play it safe.
Something that I really struggle with is the difference between 始まる and 初める.
Yeah, the まる~める thing. I think when all is said and done, there are certain accepted ways of saying things depending on the circumstances, and thats just how it is. Understand or don’t understand. Same in English too.
Very true. I’ve acquired a sense of when to use which ending when speaking and writing (though it may not be very accurate), but I have no idea when to use which of the two kanji.
I decided to go ahead and create “Japanese Chat Forum” community. Give it a trial run anyways. It will be out by Friday morning your time.
Nice. I look forward to seeing it. I guess I have to look for the community and join it.
And the good thing is, someone doesn’t even have to join to participate.
Let’s see how it goes.
