Introducing 251 characters in total, the book takes a pioneering, systematic approach to this often challenging aspect of the Japanese language.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA game-changing approach to learning kanji\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eBefore this book first appeared in 1989, kanji study for foreign learners had been a slow and inefficient process. The Basic Kanji Book Vol. 1 - Basic 500 Kanji changed all that. While earlier kanji study programs had the student merely attempting to memorize each character as it was encountered, this book’s creators instead devised a systematized ― yet easily followed ― learning method that first introduces the origins of each character, then demonstrates how these combine in ‘compounds’ to form common words. By gaining an understanding of how all but the most basic kanji are made up of multiple smaller characters known as ‘radicals’, beyond the 251 kanji introduced in this book the student also learns how to deduce the meaning of further kanji, by analyzing the radicals from which they are formed.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eUpdated for the 21st century\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThis revised 2015 edition features a fresh new layout. Kanji are rendered in a larger, clearer font, and illustrations that aid speedy understanding have been updated. Additionally, students can now download the free Basic Kanji Plus app (available on Google Play and Apple’s App Store). Developed by language learning experts at the University of Tsukuba, this app is based upon The Basic Kanji Book Vols. 1 \u0026amp; 2 and the accompanying Intermediate Kanji Book Vols. 1 \u0026amp; 2,
