Japanese Step by Step is kinda good with kanji. Though they only have a glossary with like 500 and they only have kun'yomi. But they explain a good bit about it!

Right now I'm looking for books with more kanji, I found this great one just I lost it and I don't know the name. sweatdrop I hope I can find it because it was really informative and showed how the kanji was transformed from the object it was.

500? That's it? Wow. The Japanese have about 2,000 for general-use.

The only one I know of is RTK and it has over 2,000 kanji. You can probably find something on amazon or half.ebay.

Well Japanese Step by Step onyl teaches a few, but they teach pronouns (I made another thread here with the nouns used) and it teaches speaking and grammar.

Tuttle acutally has some good ones and I agree with the good ones. Volume 3 improved liek the cards fit, they have sentences and aren't hadn written. Plus they teach 1945 which is basically what you need to know for every day usage.

And the 4th volume will be released sometimes in July I think.

lol I'll search for more.

Well writing the flashcards on your own is one way to practice writing the kanji. Heisig san also teaches you how to make it in the first volume while leaving room for information from the second volume. I bet if you learned how to do his method really wel it could help you with learning even more kanji that will help you for if you ever travel to China. wink
