Publisher's Synopsis
Practice basic kanji by dividing them into parts. Ideal for those learning kanji for the first time!
99 kanji are included in the book. This is a kanji text for beginner-level Japanese.
For learners who have just started learning kanji, kanji look like "pictures" or "diagrams," and they may feel lost when trying to identify them. This book helps students to see kanji as a combination of parts, and to practice basic and simple kanji while keeping the rules in mind for each part's characteristics.
Features of this book
- The 99 simple and frequently used kanji characters, such as "一、二、三" or "口、中、日" have been selected to reduce the burden of learning.
- Kanji characters are categorized by the characteristics of their parts. For example, "人, 八, 川" (kanji with vertical lines), "左, 空" (kanji with "エ" in katakana), and "点, 無,急" (kanji with a dot at the bottom) are grouped together.
- Since kanji with common writing styles and parts are memorized together, you can learn more efficiently.
*The rules for writing categorized kanji are briefly explained. For example, in the section "Kanji with a line in the middle", the rules for "車,事, 書" are explained. By remembering the rules, you can build up the basics of how to write kanji.
The book also provides detailed explanations of the stroke order of each kanji and tips on how to write each kanji. You can see in detail which line to start from, what kind of kanji is the same as what to write, and whether a line appears or not, making it easier to write.
This book is full of ideas to make it easy to start practicing kanji and to make learning kanji afterwards easier.
