This comprehensive workbook is designed to aid learners in mastering Japanese characters, specifically Kanji. By employing an effective and user-friendly approach, it aims to significantly streamline the process of learning to read and write Japanese. Kanji, the intricate array of characters used in the Japanese language, represent a wide range of concepts, from abstract ideas to concrete nouns.

The learning of Kanji involves two distinct steps: first, learners must grasp the visual aspect of a character, enabling them to recognize it when encountered. Secondly, they must acquire the aural aspect, which involves knowing how to pronounce and read the character. Mastering Japanese Kanji employs a method that addresses both these aspects simultaneously, enabling learners to embark on the practical task of recognizing and reading Kanji in various contexts.

Upon completing this book, learners will possess a substantial Japanese vocabulary, numbering in the thousands of words. Key features of the workbook include corresponding audio recordings that reinforce the written material, teaching the 200 most common Kanji and the hundreds of compounds that incorporate them. Unique, specially designed drawings and engaging stories contribute to a faster and more enjoyable learning experience. Sample sentences, along with common words and compounds, provide context for each Kanji, expanding learners' vocabulary. Stroke-order diagrams assist in proper writing technique. Chapter and cumulative review exercises ensure mastery of the learned material. Comprehensive indexes provide Japanese readings and English meanings for all Kanji. Additionally, companion media available online includes stroke order animations and additional practice exercises.

By utilizing the comprehensive resources provided in this workbook, learners can develop a strong foundation in Kanji and unlock the doors to proficient Japanese language skills.
