Original price was: $19.07.$18.48Current price is: $18.48.
Learning the fundamental kanji characters used to write Japanese can be challenging, but this book is designed to speed up learning by presenting the 1,000 most common characters using a mnemonic approach. In a fun and accessible way to learn Japanese, each kanji is associated with memorable visual and verbal clues. For example, the Japanese character for person is superimposed over a sketch of a smiling man. The visual clue is “a person standing on two legs.” By seeing the distinctive shape of the kanji, learners create a mental image of its meaning.
Each character is presented as part of a group of characters which share similar traits. These groups use common root symbols known as radicals; they are also categorized by themes such as colors, numbers, animals, or body parts. Pronunciations, meanings and common vocabulary compounds are provided for each character in the group. Mnemonic clues are also given for the basic 92 hiragana and katakana phonetic symbols. A free audio CD helps you learn pronunciation for all of the characters and vocabulary in this book. The introduction explains the basic history and structure of the kanji.
Key feature of this Japanese kanji book include:
- Hiragana and katakana phonetic symbols
- Easy-to-remember drawings and stories for ALL characters
- Thousands of vocabulary words
- Audio CD for pronunciation practice

It is fun.

I think it’s perfect for memorization of the Kanji. Although I would have liked for there to be a writing section in it. Other than that 10/10.

It is one of the superb book for learning kanji. But, they didn’t mention the levels for the kanji. So it is a little bit harder to find each level’s kanji.

I didn’t get the audio CD so that’s why two stars.

Very good illustrative book for studying kanjis.

Straight forward book to learn vocabulary and phrases . The word is listed then the symbol . It does not give direction on each individual picture how the symbol should be written. It gives you a pictograph under the symbol to help with memorization. There is a one page introduction that explains the writing system. The book has basic vocabulary and phrases.
This is not a workbook.
There is an index located in the back of English words to look up.
I do speak two language but Japanese is not one of them. However I do dabble in learning words and phrases in other language and this book was fun.
