A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This new edition reflectsthe recent update by the Japanese government of the official Joyo kanji list. Joyo means daily use, and these 2,136 kanji are the ones that every Japanese person learns in public education. What makes this guide the leader? It explains the kanji and kana s history, orthography, and usage, as well as guides to writing, punctuation, romanization, and how to use Japanese dictionaries and reference books. Key info is summarized in 19 convenient tables from the 214 historical radicals, to the rules for determining a kanji s radical, to the derivation of kana. And for each of the 2,136 Joyo kanji, here are their officially recognised readings, most important definitions, and up to 5 useful compounds. Plus, for maximum usefulness to learners studying the characters in this sequence, the compounds use only kanji that have been introduced earlier.
