University of Hawaii Press Remembering the Kanji 1: A Complete Course on How Not To Forget the Meaning and Writing Japanese Characters

PRACTICO Y ME AYUDA MUCHO CON LA ESCRITURA

Estimated delivery time was shorter than actual delivery time. I'm leaving 5 stars since seller contacted me and assured that item is safely traveling towards my destination and the delay is caused by security (current day problems on the border). So yea, everything seems fine :)

We only get meaning of certain kanji

Absolutely brilliant book.I usually don’t write reviews and I read most of that brick in a library but I had to own it because it is the only intelligent and efficient alternative to rote learning I found. And believe me I looked. Apps, complete methods, websites, YouTube videos, every book on the shelf, you name it... this works.One thing though. This is not for the slackers out here. Actually the more committed you are to this method, the faster and more durably you learn. Everything adds up and if you just kind of remember that kanji number 200 from three months ago when you are learning kanji 1954, this won’t work.If you really - I mean really - want to learn kanji, look no further, stop procrastinating and go for a hundred kanji a week. I bought this book having read it already, that’s how much I’m grateful for it.

A great and unique way to learn the kanji. Don't expect to know how to pronounce all the kanji at the end, but that isn't what the book is designed to do. Instead you will go from seeing squiggles and funny symbols to being able to recognise each kanji using the primitives that make them up. I struggle with learning purely by repetition, but the method in this book can have you learning 10 plus kanji a day with minimal effort. Once you have this mental kanji dictionary, I find remembering the readings 10 times easier.It seems as though all the negative reviewers are expecting to learn the language from this one book. You will not learn a single Japanese word from this book, nor will you improve your speaking skills even a tiny bit. This is a supplement to learning Japanese, and should be used alongside something like genki or minna no nihongo.
