Japanese Kanji Made Easy

Nice

Helpful

Very good illustrative book for studying kanjis.

Received this book for my son's gcses, it's presented beautifully and the pages are clear and easy to read. There's a even a disc that comes with it so I think it's very good value for money. And myself and my son are happy with it, we haven't used the disc yet so can't comment on that but worth getting

I had high hopes for this book but not liking it at all. For someone who has struggles learning and ADD, the random images they put behind each kanji makes it extremely difficult to take in the info along with the random notes they add to try and "help" you remember each one. I guess this will be sitting on my shelf, I'll have to get a different book that has clear presentations of each kanji with the meanings.

A few things to say... I love the concept, and for very simple learning, this is a pretty good product. However, the little things have really made this product less than ideal for me. There is no in-depth learning in the book, the mnemonic devices are often a stretch of the imagination to say the least, there is no designation for the ON and KUN readings, no stroke order for the characters, and no furigana/kana to aid in pronunciation (which, if you're learning/mastering the use of kana as well as kanji, is VERY VERY helpful!) I almost hesitate to give 2 stars instead of 3, but for me, it just is not a good fit. I literally read and studied three pages worth of kanji, then moved onto free online learning with much better results and haven't touched the book since. Having said that, I'm sure it would be fantastic for very early learners or young learners.

Written by a veteran teacher very involved in the profession, this book contains many useful mnemonics, which are key for learning kanji.

This is a very nice and fun book. Makes easier learn kanjis.
