Anyone who wants to master the Japanese language faces an enormous challenge: they must learn the Kanji, nearly 2000 characters of Chinese origin. What is hardly achievable through years of desperate cramming can be accomplished by the revolutionary method of this book within a few months. It gently introduces the imaginative world of visual memory, unlocking the realm of characters through small stories and mnemonic elements. What was previously thought to be impossible - the Kanji can be learned and retained quickly, both in their meaning and in their writing.
