Riassunto:

Ping-gam Go wrote this book in response to customer demand for the same powerful learning tools provided in Go's Understanding Chinese Character books. Go creates a full lesson plan to learn Kanji characters by revealing the hidden art, myth, and culture within the characters of the written language through ancestral forms. Lessons cover 313 Japanese Kanji characters, which is about one-third of the required number of characters that an elementary schoold student in Japan should know. Flashcards are provided as a useful teaching tool. They are divided into easy, not-so-easy, and difficult sections. A fun book for perusing, too!
