Sommario/riassunto

The Kanji Handbook is a revolutionary new learning technique for students of the Japanese language. This innovative book presents the concept and application of ""KanjiHybrids"", a teaching tool created by the author to help non-Japanese speakers learn Kanji. Simply put, Vee David has linked the 1,945 most commonly used Kanji characters with English words to form one integral unit, a ""Kanji Hybrid"". Using mnemonics as a learning tool, the author has replaced the first letter of



an English word with the Kanji for that word in an effort to help students memorize difficult Kanji characters.Empl
