Hi, WOW, i live in America and i want to learn how to write and read in Japanese. by the way do you know Masi Oka. He’s a Jap.
Nice! I have the same book and I was going crazy trying to find each kanji… I’m probably going to expand on it to make a cross-reference english, onyomi/kunyomi, kanji list, though… as I’m still beginning, it’s hard to recognize the kanji and I’m better off trying to find the romaji for it first
But this at least is a start. Doumo arigatou gozaimasu!
Battlegirl, I’m glad you found it useful!
Great list – I just placed an order for my book after a Japanese-class-mate bought it. I’ll probably draw out kanji vocabulary from this book, and create memorization quizzes on laQuiz for them after I’ve read the book. The book looks to be an awesome beginners Kanji resource.
