Beginning Japanese Kanji

Japanese uses about 2,000 Kanji characters in everyday publications. That may seem like a huge hurdle to reading Japanese, but the truth is you can start reading a lot of Japanese by knowing just a few hundred characters.

Spend just a few minutes every day practicing reading Japanese, using Kanji flash cards, or—best of all, writing Kanji—and you will be surprised at how quickly you are able to learn these Japanese characters and their readings.
