Mnemonic

Try to say something to a lifeguard and you'll just end up getting a lecture.

Mnemonic

This lecture loving lifeguard is none other than こういち! I mean, look how long winded the stuff on this site is? Can you imagine him trying to give you a talk about proper swimming etiquette?

Hints

Close your eyes and picture こういち lecturing you. Ugh, it's the worst!

Hint: when you see the "lifeguard" radical, the reading is probably going to be こう.
