BEGINNER'S KANJI WORKBOOK: Fun, Easy, Beautiful

This book is a workbook for mastering how to write kanji beautifully. It is designed for people who are starting to learn Japanese, want to write kanji beautifully, or are interested in Japanese characters and want to practice writing them.

The book begins with an introduction to Japanese characters. Next, it provides practice in writing individual kanji characters. Each page has a QR code linking to a tutorial video that shows how that page’s character is actually handwritten with a pen.

There are also pointers and figures on stroke order and how the characters are written, and the opportunity to do tracing practice that can help you to add better balance to the shape of the characters you write. In addition to the tutorial videos, this book also features audio pronunciation aids and flashcard videos.

Quizzes are provided for sets of 15 characters, and practice in writing short sentences can be found at the end.
