一

Each class, we will learn 3 kanji…

But because this is lesson 1… let’s do… 11 kanji!
-So you’ll really get the hang of it!-
Until Lesson 10, all kanji readings will be romanised.
After lesson 10 you will see hiragana in the kun’yomi section.
After lesson 20 you will see katakana in the on’yomi section.

This is because on’yomi is the borrowed readings from China!
All the kanji information is displayed on the below chart.

Use it as you feel fit. You may also wish to download of copy the kanji worksheets!
You’ll find a game towards the bottom of the page!

I try to mix it up a bit, so it won’t always be the same!

Click ・ to see less common readings.

Some kanji have a lot of readings. In short, some readings are more common than others, especially for beginners.
You can spend hours now learning readings you (probably) won’t be using yet,

or you can just learn the readings that are useful to you now.
It’s pretty common to forget readings you don’t often use.

In fact, some kanji readings are rarely used.
I hide the readings that are not currently relevant.

When we come across them in the future, we can look at them then.
The idea is, it saves you time and the end results are similar.

Why spend time learning a reading you won’t be using for months?
However, everybody has a preferred method for studying kanji.

My preference might not be yours, therefore all the readings are still available upon click!

おめでとう
