LEARN JAPANESE KANJI Coloring Book


Book Description

This book introduces 100 commonly used kanji and makes them easy to learn! While you are relaxed, enjoying a coloring book, the information can more easily penetrate your brain to be learned, retained, and recalled when needed. Coloring slows the brain down long enough to more fully engage with the form - and meaning - of each kanji.This book is not meant to be a stand-alone form of instruction in the Japanese language, but rather, it is intended to be a fun supplement to beginner level coursework, classes, or other learning materials. As it is strictly intended as a supplement or study aid, it does not cover each kanji exhaustively. Only one meaning and one Japanese reading are given for each kanji. This book can also be used a great first step in learning kanji, and an enjoyable way to begin the journey through the kanji. It can also be used to prove to reluctant learners that they CAN learn kanji - easily!!! Many people feel they cannot learn - or retain - the kanji and working through this coloring book will quickly prove otherwise. Coloring only one kanji a day will result in a strong beginning, allowing students to learn and retain 100 high frequency kanji in a little over three months. More ambitious learners can easily cover more ground, more rapidly.It is recommended that students first read the English meaning and Japanese reading of each kanji, then trace the stroke order with their fingers. Next, students should color the kanji - following the stroke order - while keeping the meaning and reading in mind as they work. Simply slowing down and engaging with the form and meaning of the kanji in this way allows the brain to more easily process it. After coloring each letter, consider decorating the entire page so you will have a beautiful reference book - made by you - to review at the end of your study!
