Kanji is usually taught in the order Japanese schoolchildren learn it, which is a poor fit for an adult learner who wants to read a menu this year. This book groups characters by usefulness and teaches the readings you will meet first, with the same integrated-workbook structure as the rest of the series.

  • Progressive introduction with immediate use in context
  • Stroke order for every character
  • On and kun readings taught as they are actually encountered
  • Integrated workbook with answer key
