Memory Hook
Imagine a calendar with weeks marked off. Each week is a 'shuu' (週), and adding 『間』 (kan, 'interval') makes it a duration: 'shuu-kan' → ～週間 (shuukan, '~ weeks'). Think of 'shoo-can' of weeks you can count!
Cultural Note
In Japan, durations like 『一週間』 (isshuukan, 'one week') are commonly used in schedules, work plans, and school terms. For example, summer vacation might be 『三週間』 (sanshuukan, 'three weeks') long.
