FIRST 100 JAPANESE KANJI, THE

The major struggle facing all beginning Japanese language students is to learn to recognize, read and write hundreds of Japanese characters. The First 100 Japanese Kanji Characters and the subsequent volume, Second 100 Japanese Kanji Characters, adopt a structural approach that helps students to overcome this initial difficulty and quickly master the basic Japanese characters that are fundamental to this language.

Intended for beginning students, these books contain characters that have beencarefully selected and sequenced for rapid and effective learning. Each kanji character is shown separately on a single page, along with its different readings, its English meanings, romaji (romanization), a stroke-order guide, and ample space for writing practice.

Featuring the foundation characters for the AP Japanese exam, each book contains over 500 words and phrases containing the basic characters, along with concise English definitions.
