		<description><![CDATA[James Heisig I think this is the best method available for learning kanji, but it&#8217;s not for everyone. This first volume teaches you how to recognize, write and understand the meanings of over 2000 kanji. It seems to be succeeding so far for me, though I am only up to about 400 or so.

		<description><![CDATA[James Heisig If you are learning kanji using James Heisig&#8217;s Remembering the Kanji books, these study cards are invaluable. Heisig recommends a specific method of studying and reviewing the kanji. The method uses cards to allow you to quickly review the meanings and readings of each kanji. He has created a set of pre-printed kanji [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Kenneth Henshall This book is a really interesting exploration into the origins of the 2000 most common kanji in Japanese. It gives a lot of information about where each kanji comes from &#8212; like most writing systems, the characters were once pictures, and this book shows where they came from and how they came to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[AJALT These books are simple and logical, with good English explanations of the points covered in each lesson. The language used is appropriate for business people, so may be less appropriate for you, depending on what you want to learn Japanese for. The kana versions are far superior to the romaji versions. You have to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Len Walsh This excellent book is great value. The kanji (Chinese characters) used in Japanese seem impossible to learn at first (there are thousands of them), but this book gives a glimpse of where they came from and how they can be learned. Spend a few hours reading this book, and you will be able [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[James Heisig The first task is to learn the two phonetic syllabaries used in Japanese. Each has 46 basic symbols (plus a few extras). They&#8217;re not too hard to learn &#8212; I learned the hiragana in about a week by rote memorization. But then I bought this book and learned the katakana in about one [...]]]></description>
