Learn Kanji Quickly - Level 3 - Part 1

by Joel R. Voss aka. Javantea

April 2, 2006

I organized half of Level 3. It uses a nice table system. It is being reorganized for mnemonics. Currently, this can be used for learning and to aide reading of Weekly Jump Manga using the Romanji. However, Kanji Dictionary could probably do a better, more thorough job. But the idea is to be able to be able to learn these. A good use is to read this everyday when you do not have the patience to read a manga and lookup every kanji. In a matter of time, a person can learn these and then read the manga more easily. For example, I could go through these and pick out the ones I know and want to know. I put the ones I know in a table at the bottom to go over and quickly look at when reading manga. I put the ones I want to learn in organized tables so that I can associate them together.
