Kantan Kanji Book 2: Progressive | Page 3

Preface A progressive kind of Japanese kanji book design As a student of the Japanese language, learning kanji has always been my favorite part. However, I noticed that when I was flipping through lessons or kanji books, the order of the characters didn’t make sense to me. Sometimes there would be characters that were either too complicated too early in the book, or simple commonly used characters that were hidden towards the end. By ordering the kanji characters in categories from most common to lesser common, Kantan Kanji makes the most out of the time spent learning kanji. I hope that your experience proves to be enjoyable!
