The major struggle facing all beginning Japanese language students is to learn to recognise, read and write hundreds of Japanese characters. "The Second 100 Japanese Kanji" adopts a structural approach that helps students to overcome this initial difficulty and quickly master the basic Japanese characters that are fundamental to this language. Intended for beginning students, this guide teaches characters that have been carefully selected and sequenced for rapid and effective learning. Each kanji is shown separately on a single page, along with its different readings, its English meanings, romaji (romanization), a stroke-order guide and ample space for writing practice.
