This Kanji dictionary is aimed at Japanese school kids from grades 1 to 6. Therefore the chapters contain Kanji from one school year each. There is two index to look up Kanji either by pronounciation or stroke number which is easy to use. In chapter one each page includes the Kanji, stroke order and number, On- and Kun-Yomi as well as an explanation of the origin of the Kanji shown as well as example sentences. From chapter two on there's three Kanji on each page. This dictionary is easy to use and follow even for people who are only just starting to learn Kanji. The size is also handy. I love using this book and being able to find what I'm looking for in a fast and easy way.

This is a good book. It helped me train my reading skills in Nihonggo and not only that, the contents are great.

It’s very easy to use and I recommend this to beginners and those who are still abit shaky about their Japanese language and will help you to quickly review what you have learn

I learned Japanese at the university with this textbook and it is by far the best one I've ever seen! There are so many different exercises and so comprehensive explanations and examples that it's kind of so easy that even people who don't have normally good language skills can reach a high level of Japanese. I enjoyed the stories and the audio skits. The selection of kanji to write seems a little bit random at times, but that's not a big deal. I can just recommend everyone who has ambitions to use this text book instead of the other mainstream text books which are used in different universities. They're not as structured and haven't got a logic progression like Genki provides.

As I also commented on Genki I, this Genki II workbook is just as good and will teach you all the upper elementary grammar points of Japanese. It's still so much fun and as soon you come closer to the end of the book, you'll also starting to miss the characters like Mary-san and Takeshi-kun. But in this upper elementary workbook, you'll learn how to use basic Japanese in an easy way and when I started using this I nerded a lot about all the different grammar points like the different levels of Keigo and not to mention the causative clauses and the passive-causative clauses which are so cool characteristics of Japanese. I mean in my class everyone looked at me weirdly because I was sooo happy to finally learn these sentence structures! Absolutely recommended to use these workbooks as soon as you want to learn Japanese!

Service review: 5 stars, superb service as always! I will alwats be thankful to Ana for introducing CDJapan to me! Customer service is awesome! Transactions are hassle-free, safe and secure! Thank you CDJapan for being a reliable, trust-worthy source of Japanese goods! Item review: 5 stars, the quality of paper! Lessons are easy to understand! But the WOW for me is the paper like it is so gooooooooood than your average paper like hooow is that possible. Delivery review: DHL for the win! I have a lot of time haha I keep reviewing.

A very cute book with some interesting cat facts, it's useful for practicing writing kanji from memory

A gorgeous hardcover Precure picture book intended for younger readers - text is in hiragana only. None of the images are unique to this book, but it's still a lovely item. An automatic purchase for die-hard Precure collectors, but also recommended for children who may not know about the show, but who could be intrigued by the glittery cuteness shining out from every page.

I’m a big amuro fan so of course I had to get this book! It was surprising that it was actually a novel instead of a manga, considering how it wasn’t clearly stated in the description, but nevertheless I still enjoyed the read. If you’re a DC and amuro fan with decent japanese knowledge then I recommend grabbing it to practice reading jp more fluently. Oh yea there’s also furigana and it helps out a ton.

Amazing high quality book with all the Precure characters from the last 20 years. Recommended to everyone that loves this franchise, to feel nostalgic while looking at the pages.

Nicely affordable Precure character guidebook, covering Seasons 1-20, with a page of information about each Cure, including costumes, items, mascots and selected supporting characters. Intended for children, with all text written in hiragana - no kanji. There's no acknowledgement of behind the scenes facts (no voice actors are mentioned). It's handy for beginners of Japanese. Being obsessed with anime often inspires fans to learn the language. A book like this about a beloved show is a good way to prompt further study. Having mastered this, you can graduate to the more challenging books meant for casual adult readers. I appreciate having an all-in-one guide to every character. It helps to memorise names. If they released a Precure Guide to the Periodic Table, I'd be more likely to remember it.

Softbound. It also comes with a CD with 72 minutes worth of audio material. I like that the pages are cream-colored because they're easier on my eyes. The prints are clear too, I just wish that the fonts were a bit bigger. The book's paper is more on the semi-translucent side, but if you're not picky about that then this book should be okay. I also like the bright yellow map on the front and back inside cover, but I'm not sure how I'm going to protect this book now because the jacket overlaps with the map, and if I place plastic cover on it, I won't see a huge part of the map anymore. In terms of studying, all lessons are in Japanese, so you'll need knowledge in kana and maybe even basic kanji before starting with this book. Lesson 1 already has kanji in it. It can feel overwhelming if you're not familiar with kana and kanji. It would be best if you have a teacher while studying this, but doing this on your own is fine as long as you have the time to put in the hard work. I think it would be best to get the companion translation and grammar notes book if you're studying on your own though. A translation software can only get you so far when it comes to understanding the lessons.

I am currently working with this book in preparation for the Jlpt test N3. I do enjoy the format of the book, it contains a warm up section and continues to guide you through several reading exercises. It is meant to be covered daily and has space for dates. It also marks the amount of time so you can start practicing for the exam times. I do recommend it for everyone trying to improve their Dokkai.

Absolutely what I was looking for. Teaching myself Japanese and I was looking for familiar children's books to practice reading with.

Excellent book: lots of pictures, good quality, paper feel nice, nice presentation. It shows every Kamen Rider from the first to last, every weapons, transformations etc... It doesn't show as much as special attacks as the Kodansha edition. Btw it is all about riders, no monsters. It is an incredible guide guide for every Kamen rider fans.

Very good book: lots of pictures, good quality, paper feel nice, nice presentation. It has every monsters/kaijin from the heisei era. Pocket sized but packed!

The Japanese graded readers are, in my opinion, extremely useful when learning Japanese. The stories are easy to read and understand, words are repeated over and over - which helps with memorization- and the illustrations are colorful and help a lot with understanding the story(s). I also like that you get many little stories. Perfect length: not too long, not too short.

The chapters group the vocabulary into some useful groups. In addition to each entry there is the translation, some example sentences and also additional entries provided like opposites such as good vs bad. Some pages are added explaining graphically some topics such as family or jobs. Also red card is a nice addition, once put over the page the japanese is not visible so you can train translations from English/Vietnamese into Japanese. Unfortunately not the other way round. Finally the physical format of that book is great and in the beginning the usage is well explained.
