Summary
Details

"The Japanese in MangaLand series from JPT introduced language

learners to an innovative, entertaining and educationally-sound way of

learning Japanese through the use of manga.

Now, this same approach is

applied to the often-daunting task of mastering kanji - the Chinese

ideograms - in Kanji in MangaLand, the first of a 3-volume course covering the 1,006 basic kanji characters.

Aimed at Western students aged 12 - 25, the Kanji in MangaLand program differs from traditional methods in that it uses distinct

drawings for the ""parts"" that form each kanji character; then

it shows a

manga-style illustration to help the student connect the shapes and the

meaning.

In addition, the books present information on compound words,

stroke order, meaning and such unique features as identifying

similar-looking kanji and alternative or older shapes for the same

character.

Kanji in MangaLand-

Levels 1 & 2

includes 21 lessons.

The first seven of these cover all 80 kanji

characters learnt by Japanese children in their first primary school

year.

Lessons 8-21 cover the 160 kanji studied in the next year.

In

every lesson, the student will learn 8 to 12 kanji and then move on to

the exercise section, which features one page of manga using all the

characters learnt in that lesson; a page of different types of

exercises; and a page with the correct answers, translations and a

summary of the new drawing-compounds that will appear in the next

lesson.

The book also has two special exercise parts - one at the end

of each level - as well as indexes of kanji and reading.

With

manga sales booming

-

in 2006, they approached $200 million

- and

interest in learning Japanese skyrocketing as well, the Kanji in MangaLand series is the perfect blend of entertainment and solid language instruction to make learning fun and effective."
