Would you like to learn how to read and write kanji? This Elementary Kanji course is designed to help you level up your Japanese skills by mastering 80 kanji characters, the same ones taught to first graders in Japanese elementary schools.
Why Learn Kanji?
The Japanese writing system consists of hiragana, katakana, and kanji. Many learners find kanji challenging, but it actually makes reading Japanese easier once you understand it. Instead of memorizing long sequences of syllables, kanji lets you recognize words instantly.
