This is an invaluable study guide and practice book for learning basic
Japanese kanji.
Learning Japanese Kanji Practice Book is intended for beginning
students or experienced speakers who need to practice their written
Japanese. Kanji are an essential part of the Japanese language and
together with kana (hiragana and katakana) comprise written Japanese.
This book presents the kanji characters that are most commonly used. All
the kanji and related vocabulary words in this book are those that
students are expected to know for Level 4 of the Japanese Language
Proficiency Test (JLPT). Characters that appear in the AP Japanese
Language and Culture Exam are flagged. Readings, meanings, and common
compounds are presented. The correct method of writing each character is
clearly indicated, and practice boxes with strokes that can be traced
are provided, along with empty boxes for freehand writing practice.
Lots of exercises are included to give students the opportunity to
practice writing sentences containing the kanji. Indexes at the back
allow you to look up the characters by their readings and English
meanings.
This kanji book includes:
- Step-by-step stroke order diagrams for each character.
- Special boxes with grid lines to practice writing characters.
- Words and phrases using each kanji.
- Romanizations (romanji) to help identify and pronounce every word.
