Fantastic Purchase.
Overjoyed with this purchase! I needed a good exercise book to review the kanji for my upcoming JLPT exams...this is it! It's also really useful for beginners who are just getting started with comprehensible explanation, motivational introductions and the additional content from the CD. The space to practice writing the kanji in might be a little cramped, so I'd suggest printing out trace sheets on which you can practice writing bigger at first. All in all, amazing purchase! Fully recommended.

Great explanations and exercises. However the CD was not there.
I am loving this book. The explanations are really helpful for remembering the kanjis and in some cases, understanding the origin of the words which makes it quite interesting! The exercises are engaging and useful for understanding the real-world applications of the kanjis. This is exactly the kind of book I was looking for. The only thing is that I did not get the CD with the book, which is disappointing. I still gave it a 5 star because the book is very useful.

One of the best book for N4 students.
The best book for beginners in my opinion, if you're preparing for N4 I highly recommend you buy this book when you start learning N4 and do a few Kanjis a day. For those who want to use the flashcards and stuff they have mentioned their website on page 13 of the book on how to download it. Once you download that, use them however you like. There are many practice lessons for reading as well. Overall a great option to buy for practicing Kanjis.

It have vocabulary and reading practices
I love this product so much actually it's so good for beginners the only thing is its little bit hard to find the Chinese reading and Japanese ready but we can easily go through it and another thing is it has small space to write but if you want to learn Kanji you should go for it And also it how reading practice and vocabulary Thank you Amazon

Absolutely the best!!
At first I was hesitant because of the cost and the size but I bought it eventually! The best thing is you can practice in the book itself and if you're lazy like I am then that's probably the most convenient. It also has mnemonics to help you memorise. I'm so glad I bought this book. Goodluck, fellow japanese learners!

Brilliant resource for learning kanji
This is the best book I have found for learning kanji. The lessons use real life, practical examples which help you to memorise the kanji very effectively. The CD-Rom (the contents of which can also be downloaded from the publisher website) are very helpful and add even more value to your purchase. Highly recommended!

Hautement recommandé
Pour peu que vous soyez à l’aise avec la langue anglaise, je ne peux que vous recommander cet excellent ouvrage qui m’aide énormément dans mon apprentissage des kanjis. Contenu : -Très bonne introduction à l’apprentissage des kanjis -44 leçons présentant de façon claire et détaillée 1o kanjis chaque fois, en tout 430 kanji : les 80 nécessaires pour le JLPT 5, les 165 de plus pour le JLPT 4 et plus encore. Des grilles sont prévues pour chaque kanji pour s’exercer à les écrire. -Après chaque leçon une double page révision/exercices variés, ce qui est motivant car on peut tout de suite appliquer ses nouvelles connaissances dans différents contextes. -Un glossaire anglo-japonais à la fin Et en plus : Un CD avec des questions à choix multiples pour les kanjis de chaque chapitre et des flash cards à imprimer.

Excellent
The book has a very good way of allowing students to not only practice writing, but providing mnemonics which can aid in the memory of a given character. They also provide the pronunciation and different uses per each character, and you're encouraged to memorise those which would most convene you. I'd argue that this book would teach you roughly all the most important characters you'd need to know to get around, or just get a foot in the Japanese language. Whether you're learning it for the sake of learning a language, or you like Japanese media, you do business in Japan/with Japanese people, or want/going to live there, this book will help you learn the characters.

Buen libro!
Hace meses compre este libro y decidí esperar un poco para dar una opinión ya que necesitaba avanzar en el. En lo personal el libro es muy bueno pero no considero que sea para principiantes totalmente, podría ser principiantes en KANJI pero con algunos conocimientos (aunque sea un poco) previos del idioma. Me ha ayudado a entender mejor la escritura y tengo un poco de mas vocabulario. El libro viene en ingles pero no necesitas ser un experto en ese idioma para entenderlo. El espacio que viene para practicar es muy pequeño pero no importa, yo uso una libreta aparte para mis practicas. Después de cada lección vienes ejercicios sencillos para reforzar lo previamente aprendido. Me encanto y en mi opinión me es muy útil.
