Learning Japanese Kanji Practice Book Volume 1: (JLPT Level N5 & AP Exam) The Quick and Easy Way to Learn the Basic Japanese Kanji

I love this book!The first nine pages is a complete introduction to Kanji including stroke order, Okurigana, Furigana, on-readings, kun-readings, and the history behind Kanji. It’s perfect for understanding where congee originated from and why it is the way it is today. Pages 10 to 60 is where you learn the 103 most basic kanji characters. You learn the stroke order, their on and kun readings, and the common words they are part of. And from page 61 to page 112, the book offers writing practice to better understand the kanji. So far I have nothing to complain about!

I gave it to my husband and he loved ot. He has been studying Japanese for almost 2 years and wanted to learn more about kanjis. He told me that the difference between this book and general books is that this book has not only the drawing ways to write but also the explanation and exemples of how and when to use the kanji. I am so glad he has enjoyed this book.

For the serious student of the Japanese language, this book is essential to mastering the challenging Kanji writing system

Okai so I brought this book for my younger sister und the book is very easy it has a breakdown of each stroke order .... It's a really good book especially if you are learning kanji best book ever highly recommend

I’m taking Japanese in school. Thought this would be a good supplement to further myself a bit, but it turns out I already know most of the Kanji in here. A tad disappointed. I’m sure this book would be useful to total beginners, but definitely not for people already slightly familiar (the tiniest) with the language. I wish they had included previews of the contents.

My daughter loves learning new languages

Excellent.

Nice workbook for practicing Kanji

This book is good for practicing basic kanji individually, (practice stroke order etc) s It also has 350 or more words to practice made up of more than just a kanji. Currently I found a smart phone app called Nihongo. This app can give kanjis that make up a word and then give the stroke order for each kanji you want to learn. Speaking of apps, I also like "i sokki"

Great for studying.

Very helpful and a great learning tool for beginners

Good learning book

Overall, for the price, this book is a decent resource. I use it mainly to practice stroke order and gain consistency in my Kanji writing. However, I was somewhat questioning the contents of this book as I went. Only a couple of pages in and there's an 18 stroke Kanji already? I think for beginners that is a rather difficult thing. The book my sensei used in high school was the 'Basic Kanji Book,' which is more expensive, but I feel like it was a little more beginner friendly since it started off with the Kanji with the least number of strokes. Also, it had a space to practice writing the words that use that Kanji too, which I feel like this book lacks. If you're using this book for the reasons I'm using it for, I'm sure you'll be fine, but I think if you're using this exclusively and expecting to fully understand Kanji, you may be a bit letdown.

I have not used this book yet, however the brief look up that I did, this book looks good for beginners. When I restart my Japanese class I'll come back to update this review.

Came on time. No damages. Loves and smells very new. I have started using it yet bought it in advance I’m currently learning Kana but when I do I’ll come back and review the contents.

My daughter uses it, she likes Japanese, and I hope it works for her.

I like how the book looks I cant wait to start working in it.

It’s so beautiful and easy to use. It has been keeping me motivated, and helped me learn Japanese faster than ever before.

My wife really like it! It came undamaged condition, great purchase.

Great book for beginners! Still working on it!

A+

Learning roughly about 100 kanji with examples of it's uses. I'd recommend reading lots of Japanese to learn other uses

Great book, my son loves it!

Great book and easy to understand. I have a trip to Japan so this helps a lot with the language barrier. Once I finish this I hope to get the second book.

Great learning experience still working on it.

Perfect for my learning journey! Easy to use and understand. Great for beginners!

Got it really fast and this book is extremely helpful

Writing practice really helps with memorizing the characters

very good with memorization

Perfect for anyone wanting to learn Kanji!!!

Very Useful

So far it is usefull, but you can hardly see the direction of the arrows for writing the kanji characters, which is half the point of getting the book.

So far so good. Bought for my brother who is learning Japanese. He said it has helped a lot.

Good for college level 1/2

thanks

good starter book

Excellent experience.

This book does not provide a system for learning kanji and remembering the meanings. It's mostly just blank squares for writing, like a notepad. This "Volume 1" only covers a tiny number of kanji (103). At that rate you would have to buy about 20 volumes just to cover the joyo kanji.

👍

I browsed through different books in a bookstore before buying this one. For me it is the best when you are starting to learn kanji. It's not intimidating, it only teaches the first 104 most basic kanji and it gives you a goal that you can achieve quite easily. Who needs a book with 2,200 kanji when you are just starting? Also, this book gives you a lot of writing practice. For each kanji, you have 55 squares to practice. It's true the arrows for the strokes directions are quite small but unless you have very poor eyesight, it's not a problem. I wear glasses and I am doing fine. Anyway, the general rules for strokes directions are explained in the introduction. Last but not least, there are 50 additional pages at the end of the book for writing practice where all the kanji you have learned are combined to form words. When you have finished this one, there is also a volume 2. Best book for beginners learning kanji!

Recommend 10/10. Not only does this book help with your vocabulary in Japanese, it also helps your handwriting. Before, I didn't realize my Japanese handwriting was so bad until I bought this book and did the exercises. Working in this book is so effective, buy it cause you will not regret it.

Learning Kanji for me is very difficult, its a 3 step process and this book helps to learn this. Step one: learning what the individual symbol means. Step 2: learning the correct order in which to write each character. Step 3: learning to use the symbol with Hiragana, Katakana and or Kanji to create words and to use them in sentences. This book helps build the fundamentals to help you on your way.

I bought this for my 12 yr old nephew who is teaching himself Japanese. He’s been using an app on his phone, but says this book has been super helpful. He likes that he can actually write the letters out.

Tuttle is a great product and I own so many of them. I am looking forward to start learning Kanji, soon. Great price and quality!

Perfect for an 8th grader just starting out to learning Japanese. Provides space to practice writing new characters and has a lot of good information about the characters. We particularly liked the information in the introduction. 5/5 would recommend and we'll get the second workbook when done with this one.

So easy to do! I recommend!!!

I bought this book second hand like I do most. I have been buying second hand for the last 10 or so years and I can honestly say, this book wasn’t like new. I’m sure it was completely new, it looks like it was printed just yesterday, no wear or tear, I doesn’t even look like it’s been touched!

Good book for learning and practicing basic Kanji. Recommended for the price.

Great book. I've took japanese classes but always struggled with the writing. This is great!

Great learning tool

Very good for learning kanji

I got what expected! Great to learn kanji!

Detailed and easy to follow

Ein Buch, das ich wirklich nicht mehr missen wollte, sobald ich es hatte. Nicht nur werden hier die nötigen Kanji für den JLPT N5 mit allen (wichtigen) Lesungen gezeigt, man hat auch noch ausreichend Platz, sie zu üben - und im zweiten Teil des Buches gibt es extra Vokabeln. Dort kann man dann noch einmal das Schreiben der Kanji üben als auch neue Vokabeln lernen und die verschiedenen Lesungen sozusagen "in Aktion" erleben. Manche Vokabeln sind natürlich nicht wirklich geeignet für Anfänger, aber das ist ja erst einmal nicht weiter schlimm. Man kann sich die merken, welche man als wichtig erachtet. Auch bei den einzelnen Kanji im ersten Teil stehen immer ein paar Beispiele dabei (wie und wo man das Kanji lesen könnte), sodass man direkt sieht, wie die Kanji funktionieren. Mich persönlich stört es auch nicht, dass die Romaji verwendet werden. Tatsächlich nutze ich sie selbst sehr häufig, obwohl ich Hiragana und Katakana lesen kann, auch, wenn immer davon abgeraten wird - muss halt jeder schauen, wie er es am besten findet. Die Romaji sind aber schon recht auffällig, also einfach ignorieren könnte man sie definitiv nicht.

In der ersten Buchhälfte lernt man ca. 100 Kanji, in der zweiten lernt man Wörter mit diesen zu schreiben, wodurch man gleich noch Vokabeln lernt - absolutes Muss für mich beim Kanji-Lernen! Die Kästchen und Schriftzeichen sind alle groß und gut zu erkennen. Zu jedem Kanji finden sich die verschiedenen Lesungen und Wortbeispiele. In der Einleitung gibt es gute Erklärungen und Beispiele zu den Lesungen. Ich nutze dieses Buch parallel zu anderen Lernmitteln, so dass ich die dort aufgeschnappten Kanji gleich wiederholen kann. Es macht Spaß damit zu arbeiten. ... und ehe man sich versieht, kennt man schon 100 Kanji. Band 2 werde ich mir definitiv auch noch kaufen.

This kanji book is perfect for first year students learning Japanese with your basic Japanese kanji’s you’re need to know for your JLPT N5 (Easiest proficiency Test) It gives you just enough space to practice, shows you the stroke order as well as if it has more than one reading will include the other reading with examples. Shows you the correct way to stroke in order. Perfect also if you are teaching someone else Japanese or for a kids.

Ich habe JLPT N5 Kanji bereits durch eine App am Handy ('Kanji Study') gelernt, wollte jetzt aber ein Buch, damit ich auch dazugehörige Vokabeln lernen und die Zeichen auch selbst schreiben kann. Am Handy werden mir die Striche automatisch perfekt hingesetzt, auch wenn es nicht ganz richtig ist. Außerdem finde ich es einfach angenehmer mit Buch zu lernen. Ich wollte also ein Kanji-Lernbuch, das folgende Voraussetzungen erfüllt: -Ausreichend Platz (Kästchen) zum Üben -Strichreihenfolge wird angegeben -Vokabeln werden angegeben -Sortiert nach JLPT (N5) -Übersichtliche Gestaltung Wie man in der Vorschau sieht, ist das alles vorhanden. In der zweiten Hälfte des Buches werden sogar einzelne Vokabeln zu allen gelernten Kanji geübt- Top!! Außerdem findet man dort ein Index mit allen Vokabeln. Richtig toll wäre es, wenn noch ein oder zwei Beispielsätze dabei wären, aber die kann ich auch in Apps nachlesen. Auch für totale Anfänger finde ich das Buch super geeignet, da für die Kanji wirklich 30-40 Kästchen zum Üben zur Verfügung stehen und sie außerdem in sinnvoller Reihenfolge sortiert sind. Für nur 10 Euro (versandkostenfrei) finde ich das Heft unschlagbar und kann es nur empfehlen! Volume 2 mit JLPT N4 Kanji habe ich leider noch nicht gesehen, warte aber gebannt darauf :)

My daughter loves these books. She starting write and speak. She doing on her own with these books and the internet

Das ist ein schönes Übungsbuch für Kanji, in welchem man im ersten Teil etwa 100 Kanji lernt und im zweiten Teil gibt es Schreibübungen mit den gelernten Kanji indem man aus mehreren Wörter bildet und dadurch noch mehr Vokabeln lernt. Außerdem gibt es eine schöne Einleitung am Anfang.

its beautiful!! its got that new book smell too!! this book explains how to draw strokes and gives lots of space for practice!! it even lists the kunyomi and onyomi reading for each kanji, as well as the most common words!! definitely recommend!!

It was exactly what I wanted and prompt courteous service too.

me gusto el libro es una version mas economica de basic kanji book v1

The book was delivered on time and in perfect contition, just as promised. According to the author the kanjis have been grouped according to their thematic meanings , e. g. time, compass directions etc.. Knowing this has helped me to understand the book much better.

This book is pretty good for JLPT N5 learners or for anyone who wants to get their stroke order right.

Muy practico, solo con lo más práctico. La introducción te acerca un poco al conocimiento de la escritura.

Me gusto mucho, perfecto para principiantes

Excelente libro , muy completo !!!

This is a great workbook

It's very helpful to practise and learn

mit dem Buch und Lieferung ganz zufrieden

Top! :)

Really nice material to train the first steps into Kanji.

Best book

Easy practise book. For hints on how to remember kanji, best go to a book written by non-Japanese. They know the problems and can suggest ways round them.

It's a good way of learning and remembering kanji. Plus there are examples of words in which the kanji is used in .

Great format, easy to use, kanji well organised.

Bought as a gift and the recipient is thrilled to bits with it.

Es kam etwas verspätet an, ist aber wirklich nicht schlimm. Der Inhalt hat es Wett gemacht: Eine gründliche, detallierte Einführung in die Welt der japanischen Schreibweise durfte natürlich nicht fehlen und hat sich in diesem Heft übertroffen. Sehr anschaulich! Gute Beispiele. Es geht danach los mit den Kanji, wobei jeweils für jeden Kanji die on sowie kun Lesung gezeigt wird und man genug Kästchen platz hat, um es zu üben. Es geht eben von der Hand in den Kopf. Am Ende gibt es eine riesige Menge von Übungen wo man sein Wissen auffrischen und erweitern kann. Klare Kaufempfehlung, habe mir vorhin auch die zweite Version des Hefts gekauft. JEDOCH benötigt man wirklich gute Englischkenntnisse, damit man alles versteht. Das ist der einzige Nachteil, aber ich denke wer sich ein englisches Kanjibuch kauft, wird auch Englisch sprechen können.

I purchased Vol 1+2. Can't help but feel a complete volume would be more beneficial however the contents is great. Teaches stroke order, meaning and pronunciations with space to practice.

Es muy bueno para practicar kanjis, pero no esperes en ningún momento que solo con este libro vayas a dominar los kanjis que se encuentran dentro! Necesitarás practicar más por tu cuenta. Teniendo eso claro, es un muy buen libro para ver y practicar de un inicio los kanjis.

Nice book.

Muy bien libro para aprendizaje la calidad es buena, y bastante contenido

Very friendly if you’re starting to learn Kanji, it simplifies what Kanji is and introduces you to basic and most common Kanji.

Very complete and usefull

Aunque el nivel del libro es muy básico, me gustó mucho, los ejercicios que vienen en la "segunda sección" me parecen muy prácticos.

Great for learning kanji and meaning with writing skill pages

Excelente artículo super recomendado!!!

I took Japanese years ago and was looking for a basic practice book for Japanese characters. This book offers you an odd 100 kanji to practice. You get 5 rows of squares around 1cm by 1cm. Each block of blocks has useful information, like the ONYOMI and KUNYOMI readings, along with common words that the character uses. One major drawback is the lack of consideration that went into binding this book. In order to adequately be able to write in the squares, you require pressing the book flat, open, in order to accommodate your hand. While the middle of the book seems ok, the front and back is already coming apart slightly and you can see where glue was used. In any case, it was around 15$, which isn't bad. It's a shame that the author did not create additional books (other than the 2nd) to cover the remaining JOYO kanji. A decent book for those looking for an introductory book in which to practice kanji.

muy buen libro

Esta es solo una opinión sobre el diseño del libro no del producto como tal ya que me fue enviado de manera rápida y en excelente forma ninguna queja de esa parte. El libro tiene muy mal diseño como tal. El libro es más sobre practicar cómo hacer los kanjis por lo cual tienen muchos recuadros para hacer los kanjis pero la página izquierda siempre está muy inclinada hacia el lomo del libro por lo cual la última columna de todas las páginas es casi imposible hacer un kanji alli por la curvatura del libro (por lo cual yo las deje vacías). Al final del libro incluye ejercicios de algunas palabras con el kanji en uso pero es solo dos prácticas de esa palabra y ya.. apenas y es práctica. Definitivamente es un buen producto para iniciar a aprender kanjis pero la edicion del libro y ejecución es bastante mediocre comparado con otros libros de su clase definitivamente no lo recomiendo al menos que sea a un precio bajo en comparación.

Es el libro que se espera, bien enviado, sin desperfectos, rápido. Ojalá tuviese un precio un poco más bajo pero por lo demás genial.

La entrega por parte del transportista muy bien, el embalaje venía bien, pero al abrirlo el libro que me han mandado parece usado, para empezar no traía ningún plástico protector al rededor, tiene marcas de pegamento tanto en la portada como en la parte trasera, zonas descascarilladas, la portada viene con una marca de doblez y algunas páginas interiores vienen dobladas.
