## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    I am very pleased with it
  

*by S***K on Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2015*

Received my copy today. (I do wish Amazon would label softcovered books as such so they aren't bent and shoved into mailboxes) So far, I am very pleased with it. Explanations are clear and concise. Lessons dive right in, so make sure you know your kana first. The vocab section can help you muddle through if needed, but you'll find it easier if you already know the kana. To help you, there is a handy and complete table in the early pages of the book.Essential Japanese Kanji Vol 1 is complete in the sense that it doesn't require the use or purchase of other books. It provides tables of relevant information. The quizzes have the answers in the back. It even talks about the kanji radicals.If you are an Anki user, there is plenty of information for you to populate a thorough deck for yourself from the contents.

    Helpful but A Bit Confusing
  

*by S***L on Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2013*

I wish they had the quiz pages after the vocabulary and the vocabulary after the kanji lessons. It seems kind of backwards to try to use something in a complex situation you haven't even learned yet, then learn words that branch from the kanji you are ABOUT to learn, and then learn the kanji. I also would have liked if there was a sheet in the back of just blank boxes, that could be scanned and copied for later practice. I find the practice at the end of each lesson and the pictorial and/or origin guides helpful in memorizing kanji. It is just very discouraging/overwhelming when you each lesson begins with a quiz where you have no clue what to write. By the way, the answers are on page 226-228 for the quizzes and exams. Don't cheat! But good to have when you aren't sure, or when you need to "grade" yourself.You will need to know Kana and basic Japanese grammar, or else this will be even more confusing, especially on the quizzes and practices.

    An educational gem
  

*by B***. on Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2016*

The pedagogical design of the material makes this text engaging and enjoyable. The material builds well upon previous lessons while well-crafted and interesting repetition provides ample opportunity to build recognition and enhance recall. Exercises range from easy to challenging in each section. Much care and thought went into this book.
