Helped so much more than anything else I've tried!!
I love this! It was very easy to understand and follow along. I had tried to learn Kanji before with different apps, but they didn't work too well. Having a physical book definitely helped. I highly recommend it if you want to learn, it’s worth it trust me!!

Great for beginners!(after learning Hiragana and Katakana)
I love this book!The first nine pages is a complete introduction to Kanji including stroke order, Okurigana, Furigana, on-readings, kun-readings, and the history behind Kanji. It’s perfect for understanding where congee originated from and why it is the way it is today. Pages 10 to 60 is where you learn the 103 most basic kanji characters. You learn the stroke order, their on and kun readings, and the common words they are part of. And from page 61 to page 112, the book offers writing practice to better understand the kanji. So far I have nothing to complain about!

It's good, but not great.
Overall, for the price, this book is a decent resource. I use it mainly to practice stroke order and gain consistency in my Kanji writing. However, I was somewhat questioning the contents of this book as I went. Only a couple of pages in and there's an 18 stroke Kanji already? I think for beginners that is a rather difficult thing. The book my sensei used in high school was the 'Basic Kanji Book,' which is more expensive, but I feel like it was a little more beginner friendly since it started off with the Kanji with the least number of strokes. Also, it had a space to practice writing the words that use that Kanji too, which I feel like this book lacks. If you're using this book for the reasons I'm using it for, I'm sure you'll be fine, but I think if you're using this exclusively and expecting to fully understand Kanji, you may be a bit letdown.

Gut aufgebaut, Vokabeln sind sehr hilfreich
Ein Buch, das ich wirklich nicht mehr missen wollte, sobald ich es hatte. Nicht nur werden hier die nötigen Kanji für den JLPT N5 mit allen (wichtigen) Lesungen gezeigt, man hat auch noch ausreichend Platz, sie zu üben - und im zweiten Teil des Buches gibt es extra Vokabeln. Dort kann man dann noch einmal das Schreiben der Kanji üben als auch neue Vokabeln lernen und die verschiedenen Lesungen sozusagen "in Aktion" erleben. Manche Vokabeln sind natürlich nicht wirklich geeignet für Anfänger, aber das ist ja erst einmal nicht weiter schlimm. Man kann sich die merken, welche man als wichtig erachtet. Auch bei den einzelnen Kanji im ersten Teil stehen immer ein paar Beispiele dabei (wie und wo man das Kanji lesen könnte), sodass man direkt sieht, wie die Kanji funktionieren. Mich persönlich stört es auch nicht, dass die Romaji verwendet werden. Tatsächlich nutze ich sie selbst sehr häufig, obwohl ich Hiragana und Katakana lesen kann, auch, wenn immer davon abgeraten wird - muss halt jeder schauen, wie er es am besten findet. Die Romaji sind aber schon recht auffällig, also einfach ignorieren könnte man sie definitiv nicht.
