A new approach to
writing & learning hundreds of Chinese characters within hours

Generations of students have experienced many months of frustrating learning efforts caused by poor
language learning methodology. A new mind blowing learning technology introduced in this course book will
revolutionize the access to the Japanese and Chinese languages. Writing and memorizing of Chinese
characters can now easily be done.

Chinese characters (Hanzi) - also used in the Japanese language (Kanji) - are arranged by their 'looks'
(shape) instead of their meanings. Small groups of six similar characters each will help you to save precious
time exercising writing and reading. Learning speed will be improved by creating a solid base of at least 333
Kanji just within hours. And this will boost your motivation to learn the Japanese language.

Please refer to www.Kanji-Sudoku.com for free Japanese & Chinese related language learning materials like
crossword puzzles or Sudoku with Chinese characters.

Get ready for the Asian Century.

333 Kanji-in-a-Day
(Free Excerpt with 90 Kanji)
Many years of educational research unveiled a stunning fact: Chinese characters are traditionally
introduced by their contextual meanings instead of their shape. And this considerably slowed down the
language acquisition process. This course book offers a new approach to writing and learning Chinese
characters (Kanji in the Japanese language, Hanzi in the Chinese language).

By arranging the Kanji in small groups of similar shape on tracing sheets your learning performance will be
increased. Our brain really loves motoric reinforcement while learning through writing practice. Little
numbers attached to some strokes are explaining the correct stroke order and writing direction.

In contrast to all other educational resources the numbers will only be displayed where necessary as your
feeling of the correct writing and stroke order will grow from page to page.

Readings (or pronunciation) are given both: in Japanese kana and transliteration (Hepburn system).
CAPITALS and katakana are used for on-readings (Chinese origin), hiragana for kun-readings (Japanese
origin).

If you are totally new to the Japanese language, please make use of additional resources and concentrate
on writing and meanings while using this course book.

Use only one line of the tracing sheet per kanji and training cycle - repeating of the readings and meanings
of the Kanji will help you to kill practice time :-)

If in doubt how to write a Kanji please use your experience: When there is no number displayed, the stroke
order and writing is as you have previously learned (assuming that you started this course book from the
very beginning).

Two printed fonts of each Kanji are displayed to help understand the small differences in their appearance
especially when handwriting is concerned.

For more detailed information about each Kanji please refer to Kanji & Kana using the reference number at
the right hand side.

Kanji & Kana is a comprehensive guide to the reading

and writing of the Japanese language, providing all
information needed to master basic characters (kanji)
and the syllabaries (kana).

No big deal, no long explanations - just print out this eBook and get your (soft) pencils ready.

Please feel free to contact the author for feedback or to write a review - at least spread the word to help
other students of the Japanese and Chinese language to save practice time.
