Japanese Kanji Made Easy: An Easy Step-By-Step Workbook to Learn the Basic Japanese Kanji (JLPT N5)

I like how this kanji book helps with JLPT N5 study. It has all the kanji you need to know. It teaches you to write the Kanji and there is activities at the end of every chapter to help with learning the use of the kanji.

Excellent book. The organization of Kanji into coherent functional and semantic groups is well thought out. Tactile-kinesthetic learners will find that writing Kanji is a fun learning experience and it works. Lots of pictures to help visual learners. Audio files online for auditory learners too.

This was a gift

I loved the ability to look up different social interactions, pictures, and writings to accompany them. Often, one can pick up a "word or sentence structure" in one area and transpose it to another area with a little adjustment. Being new to the language this helps a lot.

Japanese Kanji Made Easy; is exactly as the title states. I am 80 years old, have a Japanese wife of 55 years, lived and worked in various parts of Japan for more than ten years. Even with all these aids to learning Japanese, I still only had a marginal level of fluency! My ability to write ANY Japanese was nil. Over the years I have tried many Japanese courses, but to no avail. It just didn't stick. But then came "Japanese Kanji Made Easy". I found that the book was different than other workbooks. Clear explanations with pictures to help remember each character, excellent review and practice quizzes with audio to help on pronunciation, all in all a very balanced approach to learning. At last, it is starting to stick, while having fun! Art V.

My son loved this book !! He’s been so interested in learning more about the culture ! It’s so awesome !

This is a really great book. I'm (very) slowly working on my japanese, I was able to use this book to set my own pace to learn just 1-2 Kanji per day but you could easily use it to move at a faster pace if you are in school or are more eager to learn quickly. The instructions are great, the quality of the book is great, the reviews are great. This has helped me tremendously.

I didn’t know what to expect when I ordered this book but hoped it would help me to learn and understand kanji. It had me hooked by the time I learned my first 30 kanji. I’m glad I ordered both n5 and n4 books. I’m looking forward to practicing every day. I recommend it for self learners like me.

Nice book to learn kanji

Ich habe mir dieses Lernheft gekauft, da ich bald den N5 schreibe und keine Ahnung hatte wie ich am besten Kanjis lernen soll. Das Buch ist eine perfekte Abwechslung aus reinem schreiben üben und Übungen zum schreiben, lesen und verstehen. Es gibt auch Hörübungen darin, die einen auf den N5 auch etwas vorbereiten was das Hörverstehen angeht. Bin einfach begeistert :) werde mir aus der Reihe auch noch weitere Bücher zulegen

Great kanji learning resource if you like to use mnemonics! Great to pair with other Japanese learning material and probably not best used on its own as it’s only for the first few kanji.

I've been studying kanji using flashcards, and can read many pretty well when I see them. However, I don't practice writing enough, and struggle to recall most kanji without seeing them. This book is a great help. Each kanji is presented clearly, along with its meaning, readings and stroke order. There is space to practice each character. And plenty of exercises to help really embed what you've learned. This book makes it very easy to just pick up, and practice a few kanji for 15 minutes when you're free. And anything that makes learning easier and less hassle, can only be a good thing. This book covers the first hundred or so kanji you need for JLPT N5. Hopefully it's popular enough that they make books for the next 2,000+ kanji we need for N1!

This workbook is simply amazing. It has everything you need to study JLPT N5 Kanji. Besides examples for each kanji, it also includes some very well explained grammar. Looking forward to buying the JLPT N4 one!!
