Character Breakdown

Meaning and Usage

"実習" (じっしゅう) refers to practical training or hands-on practice, often in an educational or professional context. It is commonly used for internships, clinical training, or any situation where theoretical knowledge is applied in a real environment.

Common Contexts

You will often hear "実習" in schools, universities, and workplaces where students or trainees gain practical experience. For example, nursing students do "看護の実習" (nursing practice), and engineering students might do factory "実習".

Collocations and Patterns

  • 実習をする: to do practical training
  • 実習中: during the training
  • 実習先: the place where the training is conducted
  • 実習生: a trainee or intern

Register and Nuance

"実習" is a neutral and formal term suitable for academic and professional settings. It implies structured, supervised practice rather than casual or informal experience.

Common Mistakes

Learners sometimes confuse "実習" with "練習" (れんしゅう), which means practice but usually refers to skill repetition rather than real-world application. Use "実習" when referring to practical, on-site training.
