## Description

Buy Japanese Kanji & Kana: A Complete Guide to the Japanese Writing System: (JLPT All Levels) A Complete Guide to the Japanese Writing System (2,136 Kanji and All Kana) Revised by Wolfgang Hadamitzky, Mark Spahn (ISBN: 9784805311165) from desertcart's Book Store. Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders.

Review: Excellent beginners' guide to writing (and reading) Japanese - Having struggled to learn Kanji for many years, I recently decided to give it another go, this time with an up to date guide. This one is so much better than previous (ISBN 0804802262 Tuttle 1990) admittedly old reference. Firstly, the characters are large and thus clear and easy to distinguish minor variations between characters including stroke order. Second, the order in which characters are presented is logical with compounds only presented when both components have been introduced. Third, it contains all the essential characters, although frustratingly the list seems to get longer as fast as I learn them. Fourth, each character is introduced along with relevant words which seem better suited to a modern vocabulary, although "halberd" still sneaks in somehow. It also contains both hiragana and katakana as well as useful introductions, explanations of how to use and learn the characters. The "dictionary" sections are, as ever in Japanese, a real challenge, but even here the characters are presented and cross referenced clearly. I have only been using this guide for a couple of months, but not only do I seem to be making progress, it is actually a pleasure to explore the characters and their meanings.
Review: Excellent - I have a degree in Japanese language. It’s important to me to keep my Kanji skills sharp. This makes it so much easier. There’s also a lot more relevant vocabulary available to learn than the books I usually use, and because I have it on kindle I don’t have an extra thing to carry around with me 🙂

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kanji
*by D***R on 21 June 2021*

This book is proving to be very helpful to me .It has 3 indexes for finding an individual kanji and a great section on the radicals and hiragana and katakana .I can happily recommend this to any one new to learning Japanese.
