Kanji Look and Learn (Japanese Edition) Paperback – Other Calendar, May 5, 2009

It's a great book, not ideal for beginners that are taking up Japanese, but perfect for those that took at least two courses of it because you can refer back to this as a dictionary as well and the cute little drawings do make things easier to remember stroke order and meaning to the kana itself. I love it! Plan to using it and improve my Japanese.

It's the reference book to the workbook. It gives you the meanings, the readings, and mnemonics, plus stroke order. The workbook is excellent in testing you what you have learned.

I needed to practice and learn more kanji. Painless way to go. Good mnemonics

This was a book chosen by my kid for a gift. Interesting book with great service.

This book is great for when you are first learning kanji, self-studying, and for reference. The pictures are very helpful. However, there is no practice. You need to also buy the workbook if you want to practice using the kanji in sentences, recognizing, etc., which is kind of unfortunate. Like, there is literally 0 practice/review questions in this book. Only the kanji, meanings, picture to help you remember and stroke order/space to practice writing them (by space, I mean like 10 boxes...).

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.

Helpful kanji book.

It’s super nice
