Summary:

This is a new, highly visual, fun way-using pictures and jigsaw pieces-to learn written Kanji by learning the meaning of 250 characters that combine to form hundreds more. To say that characters are pictograms based on the shape of objects might make you think they must be memorized one by one. But as English has an alphabet, Kanji has about 250 basic and radical characters. Remember that you can combine these characters or use them to break down thousands of others so you can easily read, write, and understand them. This book was written to help you understand the origin and usage of 250 Chinese characters. Now you can recall instead of memorizing. By learning how these Kanji came to be, you can also learn how adding a certain component changes the meaning.
