Preface

In the first volume of this series, Let's Learn Kanji, the student was introduced to the fundamentals of Kanji: strokes, radicals, components, and 250 basic Kanji which can be components of more complex Kanji. Most importantly, the student learned how Kanji can be classified into family groups based on their constituent radicals and components. It was explained that recognizing such relationships is a crucial skill that the non-native student will need in order to quickly and systematically learn Kanji. Learning these various family groups enables students to break down new and complex Kanji into familiar components.

In the present volume, Let's Learn More Kanji, we expand on the family group relationship and emphasize it as an important Kanji learning strategy, but at the same time we also provide several other strategies. In Part I, we introduce 300 complex Kanji that can be analyzed in terms of the radicals, components, and basic Kanji introduced in the first volume. The chart entry for each Kanji includes an "exploded view" in which the Kanji is broken down into its constituent parts. Sometimes one of the constituent parts could be broken down further. However, if this constituent part was introduced earlier as an entry Kanji with its own exploded view, it is treated as a single component and is not "exploded" a second time. This view will aid the student in determining the family group to which the Kanji belongs and also will make it easier to memorize and learn to write Kanji.

In Part II, we introduce other Kanji learning strategies that are based on the following Kanji groupings: (1) conceptually related Kanji, (2) same Kun-yomi groups but with different meanings, (3) same On-yomi family groups based on common components, and (4) similar Kanji (visually or because the same radical/component is used) that are easily confused.

Finally, in Part III, we introduce the student to some patterns which are useful in understanding the structure of Kanji compounds called jukugo, These patterns include

repeating a single Kanji to show emphasis or plurality, joining two Kanji with similar meanings, with opposite meanings, or with the first modifying the second, etc.

Throughout Parts I and II, sufficient exercises are given, so that at the end of both volumes, the student will be thoroughly familiar with 550 Kanji for writing, will have been exposed to over 1,000 more for recognition and reading, and will be equipped with several powerful learning tools which will facilitate the rapid mastery of Kanji. It is the authors' hope that the confidence gained through use of these two volumes will enhance the students' desire to achieve complete Kanji mastery.

We would like to express special thanks to the following persons, without whom this workbook would not have been possible. Mr. Minoru Yasunaga, the former Senior Specialist in the Japanese Language Division of the Ministry of Education, took precious time to provide us with invaluable information and knowledgeable advice on all aspects of Kanji, including the Ministry Standards. Ms. Ayako Asamatsu, presently Chief Senior Specialist in the Japanese Language Division of the Agency for Cultural Affairs, also gave us her kind help and support on this project. Mr. Steven Sumida and Mrs. Sadako Sumida devoted valuable time to translating vocabulary. Miss Toshiko Imanari kindly spent many hours proofreading, and Ms. Aki Mizuno conferred with us about many questionable points. Lastly, we would like to give sincere thanks to our dear friend Mrs. Virginia Newton for her patient assistance and valuable advice in the editing and typing of the manuscript.

Standards and Format

The following standards and formatting guidelines are used throughout this workbook except as noted.

The Kanji used in this workbook follow the latest Mombusho (Japanese Ministry of Education) standards:

1. Most Kanji are from the Gakushii Kanji (a list of 1,006 Kanji to be learned by the sixth grade), although some are from the Joyo Kanji (a list of 1,945 "daily use Kanji" to be learned by the ninth grade that includes the Gakushii Kanji). The lists were revised by the Mombusho in 1989 and 1981, respectively.

2. Kanji forms (how they are written) are those that were prescribed by the Mombusho in 1949, some of which are radically simplified from older forms.

3. The readings of Kanji, both On (pronunciations based on the Chinese words associated with the Kanji) and Kun (pronunciations of Japanese words associated with the Kanji), are also those prescribed by the Mornbusho,

The order of the Kanji readings in this book is always Kun first, then On. The Kun reading is shown in Hiragana and the On reading in Katakana.

Secondary or less common readings, according to the Mombusho standard, are listed in parentheses.

The definitions of the example jukugo are usually the most common meanings. When two or more meanings are equally used, additional definitions may appear.

Sometimes the English translation of a Japanese phrase or sentence in the exercises gives little clue to the meaning of the Kanji being used. In such a case, the literal translation of the Kanji is placed in parentheses ( ) after the fluent English. Additional English not present in the original Japanese sentence but which aids in fluency or comprehension is placed in square brackets [ I where appropriate.

Japanese words are italicized unless they are accepted English words (such as samurai and haiku) or proper nouns (such as Tokyo or Showa).

The following symbols have specific meanings in this workbook:

* indicates a Kanji from the Joyo Kanji list which is not included in the Gakushii Kanji list.

• indicates a Kanji that will be introduced later in the workbook; a reference is given in the footnote.

ii

.. indicates a Kanji not introduced in the workbook; the reading and the translation are given in the footnote.

:j: indicates a component not introduced in the workbook; the reading and/or the meaning are given in the footnote. The component mayor may not be an independent Kanji.

* indicates a word that is considered rare or not in common usage but which is included as illustrative of a given reading.

The following diagram explains the type of information presented for each Kanji.

300 Complex {Non-Basic} Kanji and

Exercises

Chapter 1. 300 Complex (Non-Basic) Kanji

In the first volume, Let s Learn Kanji, both in Part I and Part II, you learned the various radicals, components, and basic Kanji that comprise more complex Kanji. Having familiarized yourself with these elements, you should not find it too difficult to master the approximately 300 complex Kanji that are introduced in this chapter. They are arranged according to stroke number, starting with four strokes and working up to twenty strokes. Within the same stroke number, Kanji appear based in 7 -1 ry.I.;f (if reading) order. Selection of these Kanji from grades one to six of the Gakushu Kanji list was based on their frequency of use, taking into consideration the following two publications by the National Institute of Japanese Language: "Words and Kanji Appearing in 90 Recent Magazines" and "Kanji Appearing in Recent Newspapers." Almost all of the Kanji learned by native students in grades one through three are included in this workbook as well as a few from each of grades four through six and some from Joyo Kanji. Exercises emphasizing how to use new Kanji in a word or sentence are provided periodically. Certain symbols will appear to give you essential information about certain Kanji. Please see a Standards and Format for an explanation of these symbols.

Below is a diagram that shows how the Kanji are introduced.
